Rob's Rods and Restorations

Hey Facebook! We’re trying to get back in the social media habit. Here are a few of our current projects. Full albums on several recent completed projects and a bunch of fun stuff happening now coming soon.

‘73 Firebird was returned to its happy home a couple months back. Full album and details to come.

Before and after. Full album and details to come.

This ‘69 Camaro was a fun project. Complete LS3 swap, suspension, big brakes, etc. Full album to come.

Scout LS swap.

This rare Lincoln Cosmopolitan Capri Coupe belongs to our fabricator/body man, Tim. He and Gizmo, our body and paint specialist, decided on a custom black and cherry lace color scheme, and set a goal to get it ready for the Lone Star Round Up. It needed a lot of love, and got it. Rust repair, rocker panels, miles of body work and a ton of primer and block sanding got it straight enough for black. The guys worked very hard on evenings and weekends for about 10 days, followed by final finishing over the last two full days. Considering the time constraint, the result is very nice and really cool. Come see it at the Round Up tomorrow!

We've been busy! Check out the albums for the '72 Scout, '72 Blazer, '64 Falcon, and '66 GTO. At the moment we have an LS engine swap and suspension upgrades happening on a '72 GMC, an engine rebuild on an '87 Chevy 4x4 with performance upgrades, engine rebuild on the '72 Beetle, and body work beginning on a pair of Chevy Trucks ('53 and '66) this month. More to come.

This one belongs to the same customer that owns the '73 Firebird Formula 400 we're building. It came in for motor mounts, exhaust tips, posi-traction and new gears, and clearancing for some really cool new wheels and tires.

This Falcon will be a fun little car. We're installing a 331ci small block Ford engine with 351 heads that will run a F.A.S.T. electronic fuel injection system. It'll get 4-wheel disc brakes, front and rear suspension upgrades, modern rack and pinion power steering, rebuilt and updated auto trans., air conditioning, and more.

We did a little engine work on this Blazer a while back, and it came back in for a bit of rust repair, body and paint, roll bar, and interior install. The customer chose a Honda gray metallic paired with a satin black top, and the color choice worked very well with this cool old 4x4. We fabricated the roll bar and also fabricated some diamond-plate rear trim panels for the interior. We also installed another Vintage Air A/C system to keep it cool in the summer heat. Another fun one out the door!

This Scout II is getting the full de-rust treatment. New floors and floor supports are going in first, then body repairs on a few of the metal panels. It's going to get a full paint job inside and out and some cool mods including disc brakes, suspension lift, new wheels and big tires, roll bar, and more.
