2000 Magnetic Red Convertible

The owner of this slick Vette approached us wanting to have his own personal touch added to his convertible to make it truly unique. After sitting down and consulting with him we began to construct a plan that would give it an original feel and please the owner.

Starting with the exterior, we worked on the front chin spoiler, rear spoiler, custom mesh grilles and custom CSOC molded rear brake ducts. We continued with LED tail lamps, black-out turn signals and non-pop-up headlamps. Topping off it's new custom body work we bolted on a set of custom 5-spoke chrome wheels, Lambo-style scissor doors and custom airbrushed emblems.

Onto the interior, we added our own touch of style with CSOC custom painted dash trim panels, leather seats and door panels. We installed a custom mounted navigation system into the dash. For straight up performance, we installed a Vararam air intake, Bassani Series-One Street Tuner exhaust system, slotted brake rotors and Z06 brake calipers. After all that had been completed we finished it up with a CSOC custom Dyno-tuning.

Our customer left extremely satisfied and has gone on to take home many a trophy at the car shows he has appeared in.

1959 250hp Classic Convertible

This classic beauty came from an owner that hadn't even seen it before purchasing. This 1959 Corvette came to us on a tow truck immediately after its sale, and for good reason. The body was a complete disaster! Body lines were off by as much as 1/2 inch, numerous substandard fiberglass repairs, multiple sloppy paint jobs and the doors were delaminating. It was clear that decades of mishandling by mechanics and repair "experts" had taken their toll over time.

We didn't hesitate, immediately our body shop started disassembling the body and began sanding off the old paint and reshaping. We repaired all the cracks, reconstructed the body panels and reformed all of the fiberglass parts. After that, the body went through resealing and a fresh coat of paint. The entire process took over 360 hours, the result is a revival of a timeless masterpiece.

2002 Candy Coated Convertible

The owner of this unique convertible came to us looking for what everyone wants, more power. Shortly after his first visit he decided not to stop there. Moving forward with original custom body work and paint, a new interior to his exact specifications and several other body mods and upgrades.

Starting with the exterior work, we constructed custom body parts made in-house including our custom CSOC stinger hood, molded brake ducts, rear bumper and a custom CSOC 3-stage candy red paint job with airbrushed emblems and pin-striping design. We also added mesh grilles and fixed HID headlamps. For the interior we started with refinishing the Burlwood dash paneling, custom seat covers, installed an Alpine audio system, added a back-up warning system and auxiliary fuel pressure gauge and boost gauge.

Under the hood is a heavily modified 427 cubic inch, twin turbo engine that delivers a whopping 690 horsepower at the rear wheel. Other performance upgrades include a stage 4 transmission, a completely custom suspension and 6-piston Brembo brakes. This classy looking convertible has amazing horsepower and torque with a steady idle that beckons to be driven anywhere the road will take you.

1969 Bad Boy Big Block

The owner of this sleeping beast came to us initially for a simple restoration, and after several consult visits it was decided to go over and above a standard restoration and create a masterpiece. After 18 months of intensive labor, research, design and development, this was the end result. A one of a kind classic that consistently pulls in 1st place in every car show that it's been presented in, leaving some of the baddest Vettes ever made in the dust. Below is an overview of the major changes put into this beauty.

External work includes a custom CSOC 4-stage paint job with reverse ghost flame, side exhaust pipes, LED light and 18 inch wheels with an amazing mirror finish. Interior work includes custom CSOC upholstery with wool carpeting, Connelly leather, suede and a beefy 1500-watt sound system.

At the heart of this beast is a bored out, 30 over, 427 cubic inch engine that's been Dyno tested at 505 horsepower. We've built it using aluminum ports, polished aluminum heads, ported intake manifold and headers with a push button electronic cut out to open it up. It's all held up by a completely custom suspension with composite leaf springs in the front and rear and has drilled and slotted brakes with red powder coated brake calipers. Other features include electronic ignition, 5-speed Trimec transmission and a custom serpentine belt system.

The end result speaks for itself, but for those of you who are interested in the value of this Bad Boy, it's been independently appraised at over $200,000.

1963 Corvette Split-Window Fuelie

This weeks featured car is a beautiful 1963 Corvette Split-Window Fuelie. The owner initially approached us to have the exterior paint restored to its former glory. After completing the original Silver Pearl finish, the customer expressed they were clearly impressed with our work and asked us to restore the interior and powertrain.

The fuel-injection unit had been removed from the vehicle some years ago so we began work immediately on restoring it with original fuel-injection components. The interior was refinished in factory option red vinyl. After approximately 9 months from the initial exterior paint job, this 1963 Corvette was immaculate, more clean-cut than the day it was first driven off of the lot decades ago. Needless to say, our client was fully satisfied with the results. Watch the highways for this stunning classic machine if you find yourself in Southern California, it's hard not to stare.
