Account Suspended Posts: 2827 Location: At "The Rock" in upper East Tennessee | Here is a few more. Still have to replace the windshield, exhaust from the surviving stock mufflers back, and a few other little bits here and there. I will also detail it some right before she heads home. This car has given me a new outlook on all FL cars beyond my own Christine which is what got me into 'em in the first place.            | ||

| 58Donnie - 2008-04-20 1:39 PM After the fire my build calender changed a little. My shop should be back up and running within the next month. I have one Christine Clone, Total frame off build 59 Dodge, complete Frame on build '58 4 door Belvedere, Driver build (if it doesn't get sold) '49 Ford truck, Full frame off with a custom made wormy chestnut bed. These are in line. I have people who have stated intentions to have me do work for them. Christine Clone, '60 Dodge, '66 Ford truck, '68 Chevelle. I will say this, until I see a car at the shop or a cash deposit there place in line is yet to be decided. I feel that is only fair. Ahem.... Uh, Donnie... Please don't forget that '60 Chrysler repaint I'll be needing after you get the '59 back on the road.  Thanks, Man! -NM Edited by Nathan D. Manning 2008-04-22 1:37 PM | ||

He was rushing me and I got some of the rivets out of line. I did it all in only about 8 hours. I also re-worked the roll cage and fashond in a funny car style cage around the driver.     | ||

Account Suspended Posts: 2827 Location: At "The Rock" in upper East Tennessee | Well the latest update is that I am now doing this full time, I have hired a webmaster for the main site, and I have plenty of work to do. I have my wife on a 51 Cheby Right now that we are doing paint and custom bodywork only on, Nathan Mannings 60 Chrysler is in the finishing stages, Lee Day a customer from England is watching his car about to start going back together (over the hump thank God), Steve from Australia has his car in the early stages of disasembly, Steve (whitedawg) has his 60 Dodge here for paint and a custom gauge cluster and it will be starting as soon as the 51 is out of the shop, and Harris (h-bomb) has just bought a 58 Plymouth 2DHT that he wants made into a Christine as a present to himself for his 40'th B-day. I also still have another 58 Plymouth, 59 Dodge, 66 Mustang, and some oher stuff that I can't think of right now on the back burner. All is well in the land of the Rock. The only bad note is that any deal made after January 1 2009 will have a slight price increse due to rising cost of materials. Some of the things I have going on for myself and partner is I have sort of half azz repainted my car after the fire and he just bought a 70 Plymouth Satellite 440 street/strip car which will be an ongoing project.   Ruffed in 51  Lee's Plymouth      Mannings 60  More pictures to come soon I have just been busy and not taken as many as I should. | ||

Account Suspended Posts: 2827 Location: At "The Rock" in upper East Tennessee | In responce to recent questions about when I can take in more cars: Send 'em on. I am working 6-7 days a week right now but if your car is here and I see a spot of time where I could do something to it while another is in a holding patern waiting on a part or something then I jump on it. In the shop right now is a 51 chebby that will be out in 3-4 days. A 60 Dodge that is about to move into the sheet metal work stage but from there won't take long at all. A 60 Chrysler that should go to paint in less than a couple of weeks. A Christine build that is about to go back on the frame. Sitting outside the shop right now, 3 Christine Builds 49 Ford F-1 stock resto 59 Dodge paint and such 70 Plymouth 66 Mustang and 1 58 Plymouth that needs some nit picky stuff so she can just move around on her own. Some projects of my own that I am going to build to sell are, ( I will also build these under contract to your specs) 46 Dodge truck (Ol' Skool Rod) 66 Belvedere (my goal here is for it to be sold at Barret-Jackson as a resto mod) 65 Barracuda (AWB Dragster) Anybody need a Job?

Account Suspended Posts: 2827 Location: At "The Rock" in upper East Tennessee | The latest one out the door. Just between us Mopar guy's I don't mind if this is the last Chevy at Plymouth Rock. I was contracted to do paint and custom body work only. I wanted to do more custom stuff to it but the owner wouldn't let me. Things like Chop the top, shave the gas door, weld and fill the fenderskirts, and put in a DeSoto grill. I don't mean to sound negative I'm just not a chevy guy and it's hard for me to not want to change it to the point that it isn't a chevy anymore. I also didn't pick the colors. My wife ended up doing 90% of the bodywork all I did was the custom sheetmetal and spray the 06 Ford Mustang Screeming Yellow and GM fleet white in base clear. Before    Durring     After         Those gauges are just stuck in the holes to show what they will look like. Edited by 58Donnie 2009-01-02 10:48 AM | ||

Account Suspended Posts: 2827 Location: At "The Rock" in upper East Tennessee | My recent schedule I may be a little hard to contact for the next few days. I have come into an opportunity where I can get enough shelf’s and counter tops to go around most of the shops back and side walls. A local parts store went out of business a couple of years ago and left most all of the peg board tool racks and all of there counters. Over 100 feet worth as well as some stainless steel tables and a deep 3 section stainless steel sink from when the building housed a small grocery store. I get all of this stuff for free if I can get it out by the end of the week. I plan on doing that but it’s gonna take every spare minute with getting the stuff out and getting it back to the shop moving everything I have in the shop to get it all in place. This will solve my storage problems in many ways so I can’t miss out. If you need to contact me just drop me a pm as I may not have time to check all the posts. If I am already seeing to something for you I will get it taken care of ASAP. Thank you for your patience. As for cars (I am just pulling this out of my tired brain and there is no order to the list I'm about to give) 4 Christine Clones to build or being built ‘60 Chrysler New Yorker (Paint, Waxoyl and mech) ‘60 Dodge Pioneer (paint, custom interior fitting and Waxoyl) ‘59 Dodge (all it needs is everything) ‘69 Ford LTD Convertible (paint) ‘62 Chrysler Convertible (big block car) (total restoration) ‘65 Falcon (paint, and general restoration) ‘57 Chrysler (paint touch up) ‘55 Plymouth (Ol Skool Rod if he buy's it) '47 Chevy pickup. (finish the electrical, exhaust, gauges, and touch up some paint) ‘70 Plymouth Satellite (Dyno’d at 617 HP soon to have a Kiesler 5 speed and a Top Secret-make a splash paint scheme, total custom build) This one will make Plymouth rock famous......Don't worry I won't forget the little people and my autograph will always be free Projects of my own, ‘46 Dodge A Gas dragster pickup (Nickname, Nobody's Fault but Mine) ‘65 Barracuda Altered wheelbase dragster (yea one of the dangerous looking ones with a Ed Roth flake paint job yet to be named) ‘66 Plymouth “resto mod” that will be going to Barret Jackson (total custom build on a tube chassis as a road car) Projects of my wife’s, ‘62 Pontiac Hearse ( I have to finish this) ‘72 Ford Station Wagon (two shades of blue pearl over white on an all shaved body) I am always open to take on more so just contact me with your needs. I hired a new guy that is fresh out of school so he will be learning alot of thigs he wasn't taught there. For now till he proves something to me he is just a helper.

Account Suspended Posts: 2827 Location: At "The Rock" in upper East Tennessee | Well it looks like to the chevy's are trying to work there way into a Mopar shop.  I don't blame 'em. This one for the most part is getting finished by me. It was a build that started 7 or 8 years ago and is a super nice truck. There is some places that have been damaged that I will be reapinting and it's up to The Rock the make it all come together with a new electrical harness, gauges, interior, battery location, sterio, exhaust, hooking up and tuning the 3 duce set up, and the final fit and finish to turn it into a turnkey truck.       | ||

Account Suspended Posts: 2827 Location: At "The Rock" in upper East Tennessee | The Rock is going to be in a rather large local clubs calander. I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to sort through all of the pics I have of the calander and some of the work I have been doing but I hope to have time to get it all sorted out in the coming week. Anyway here are some of the extra pics taken on the day of the shoot for the calander that didn't make the cut or we were just fooling about with taking pics.           | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 444 Location: North of the 49th | Hi I do my own work ...so to be honest I won't be sending you any of my cars , but I must say from all the pics you do very good work ...top notch...the hobby needs more skilled restorers like you!!! I'd like to ask, where did you get the "Mopar girl" holding the sign...need one like that for my shop | ||

Account Suspended Posts: 2827 Location: At "The Rock" in upper East Tennessee | Thanks, I really like to hear from others who work on the cars. I got that sign from a vendor at a Mopar show. I was told but have no information to back this up that this was the 1957 "Mopar Girl". I will say that she's a numbered lic. Mopar reproduction product. number 1375 of 2500. I paid a $100 for her. Don't know if she was really worth it or not but I liked her and it was my birthday present to me.  | ||
