Thrift-Way Auto Body

"Augie" Anthony Agostine's '69 Nova is currently in the shop for a complete body and paint restoration. We are now preparing to cut the quarterpanels off.

Mike Wolf brought us his 1965 Belvedere for a full body and paint treatment. You can see the car here with no front end in it, and sitting on a custom dolly we fabricated to roll the car around.

Rob Meadows brought us his unusual SVO Mustang to fit and mount his new extended cowl induction hood. After lots of bodywork as well as fabricating brackets and TIG welding them together, the hood is now ready for paint.

Brian Penna's '68 Camaro got a fresh look for 2010. First off, the quarters needed to be opened up further and repaired. Next, we finally made use of the flat black primer and shot some satin "hot rod" black on top of it. We also added a silver RS stripe across the nose and accented the bumpers.

We've been making some serious progress on Augie's Nova. First up, we removed his old school "radiused" wheel openings and replaced the quarters, all while taking our time to make sure the body is very straight. The 2010 Camaro Switchblade Silver Metallic paint he chose really set this car off. Phoenix Upholstery did a killer job on the vinyl top as well as the headliner.

North Bellmore Fire Department dropped off their "C" race rig for some updates. We removed the engine and transmission for rebuilding purposes, and we are now putting it back together. After tying up a few loose ends, it will be ready to run.

Ed Haase's Top Sportsman Firebird is here for repairs after a serious encounter with Atco Raceway's retaining wall. The new Hairy Glass extended nose is all mounted and is being prepped for paint. 

Mike Spera brought us his Nissan Silvia for a paint job...he was tired of  purple with mismatched body colors, so he gave us the car and at this point it's almost ready for primer.

This 2009 Volkswagon Tiguan came in for heavy side damage. After a few pulls on our chassis machine and some handywork with the TIG welder, the car is now square again.

As you can see, we've made some progress on Mike Wolf's classic Mopar as well. After a lot of debating and wanting to paint the car black, Mike finally decided to stay with the factory color of B5 Medium Blue Poly. He certainly made the right choice.
