Beautiful build; and the "Mom and Son" picture is great. I'm guessing that "Son" is Robert Miranda Jr???

Now, on to the usual question.... what's under the hood?

 

[BLK91LX1uponu]

His name is Bob. The motor is a roller 9:1 306 with E-cam, stock heads with cleanup and stainless valves, roller rockers. Really it was built to cruise... But I have to say with 3:55 and a 2500 stall she moves just fine. We already talked about aluminum heads down the road...

So if I brought mine down to you, could you do that for me too?

Holy cow. That is awesome. Can we get some more details? Was it a rust free car? If not, how were you able to do all that work in 3.5 months? What is that paint color. It is awesome. Finally, what does a build like that cost?

 

[BLK91LX1uponu]

Thanks for the kind words.
I do own a restoration shop here in Sacramento. IT was afull time project I spent anywhere between 8-14hrs a day. The cost for this build was well over 30g's. The car needed everything replaced. The car sat for 17 years. This car was a special build. The owner Bob recieved the car from his father on his 17 b-day. Two weeks later his father pasted away. I was told on his death bed he promised his father he would finish the car. Labor is not cheap these days. We are 80hr... So that played alot in the total cost. The color I believe is 04/05 mustang Tungent silver.

The car had some rust... but nothing real bad, mostly heavy surface rust. Por-15 was our friend on this build. Having a lift makes it easy. I thought about using my rotisauri but time is money. The key to this build was time managment.

It turned out great. This is some excellent work with a great turnaround time. Do you guys have a website or maybe photos of other cars you have worked on?

We do have a website with tons of pictures. Certainly not all the cars we have done but alot. We even restored the Cadillac for the drummer of the Deftones "Rock Band." I don't remember what the rules are on this site for posting personal/ business web pages. If it's okay I will do so or you can PM me. Thanks
