To help a buddy of mine pick up his 55 Chevy from a shop in Asheville NC and relocate it to a shop here in town to be finished. The only thing original on this thing is the sheet metal. They had a awesome 67 Chevelle in the showroom powered by a custom built LS pushing about 700HP. I would have snapped a few pictures of it but it had a sign on it asking you not to take pictures. They are going to debut the car at the Good Guys show coming up. This place was a first class shop, you could eat off the floors in there. They also did first class work but their service is a little pricey. Sorry for the crappy pictures all I had on me was my cell phone.

There was a few more all ready done in the showroom including a few bikes. They really didn't want you taking pictures of the show room for some reason. More $$$$ than I would ever dream of sinking into a car unless I won the lottery. That place was way outta my league.

No doubt! There are folks that'll sink 6 figures into their rides turning them into trailer queens and some of those look like they are on their way!! Definitely good to look at :)

Your right, that is the level of work being done in that shop. My friend built a garage just to house that 55. He says he going to drive it and it's not going to be a trailer queen and knowing him he will drive the hell out of that thing when its done.

He's a rare breed then and that is awesome!!! Can you imagine the time spent on keeping it polished up :) You should post pics of it when it's 100% complete. It's going to look beautiful!

Its a small world. I did all of there upholstery for 7 years. The shop is called TWC Motor sports. They have put out some awesome cars over the years. When the shop foreman left, or got fired??? last year there was no good line of communication. I was not able to get answers, to my questions costing me time and money. Then they started supplying there own tops and materials. When they brought factory seconds for me to put on, and use, I quite doing work for them and walked away. They have talked bad about me ever sence. Its mainly the owner, the guys that work there are good people and hope they are doing well.
