Interior/Body | reclaimerauto

INTERIORS... I like doing them the most I think.

The look you are wanting, it takes many steps to achieve this, I would like to walk you through just

the first set in putting in a new interior. I like to go past just putting a new layer of fabric down! First step is

sound deadener! We use many companies, there are several on the market and all work just as well as the next!

Custom Body And Paint:

There are very few things that set a person's car apart better than a custom body kit.

There are several different types of body kit on the market today. I will happily take on installation of the most

basic to the most detailed. There are several requests I get about kits but the most common seems to be

about widebodies. I have lots of kits to choose from and mixing and matching is never a problem!

This is an example I like to use, of one of the most extreme builds you can do. This car started out a base model

rx7 with faded paint and 200k plus on the chassis. He saw my wide body rx7 and asked me if I could help him

put a kit on his car. I said, yes, of course, anything goes! He really held me to that! He ended up finding a kit

from a wrecked rx7, it only had the front and rear fenders and skirts. They were in horrible shape, chunks gone!

After talking with him a bit I offered to take it and the front air dam and spoiler he wanted and custom mold

it into a one piece kit. Here are a few examples of this build and what it takes to do a project of this magnitude!

I bring it in and started the tear down process. I start removing fenders, emblems, trim, ect. This build had lots

of mocking up and prep as it was three kits to be molded into one seamless body.

As you can see there are always a great deal of problems with used kits, and before they can even be fully

installed they have to be repaired. There are also complications that will arise when mixing up kits. Note this car

has to have the wheel wells reshaped and the spoiler does not really fit the rest of the body. I like to make sure

our creations will be not only good looking but functional, this was just not the case. At this point I will start on

our major repair and fiberglass work, chassis prep for the new panels and blocking for paint.

After I strip it down and take everything out, I put in a new deadener

of your choice! There are dozens of thicknesses of deadener and metal backing.After I finish the deadener I use a heavy fiber insulating mat to add cushion, A tighter fitted carpet and above all: atmosphere control!

Finally I finish the car off with a varied selection of carpets. I have OEM original carpets for almost all cars and we also carry two types of aftermarket carpet. A newer GM thin style (lightweight and good for

racing applications) and a thicker classic style (comes in loop or regular). Door panels, headliners, dash boards and more are all available in a variety of colors! If you can dream in, I can build it!

After the hundreds of little rock chips, pressure fractures and endless hours of block sanding are done, I come

to my favorite stage: Color! Now that we have fixed and repaired all the old panels, fitted them to the car and

made it all seamless, it's time to add some color to it! I offer many types of paint and stages!

After a long dedicated build I reach the most gratifying part of it, color! I find it hard not

to show every step or talk about the things like the alteration of the spoiler. (notice the change in its angles!?!?)

After laying down the color, the car is reassembled and brought out to you ready to go!

Finished! This car went on to great things, I built it a Series 5 13B Turbo Motor from a 91 Turbo rx7,

I donated an auto power roll cage, black interior, bi-color euro lights, Apexi N1 exhaust and many other parts

to round out the finished product! I am proud to show these last two pictures of the car FIVE YEARS Later!

After five years of assisting this car on the road I started hearing rumors that it was built by someone else. I had no pictures of it displayed nor this website yet to prove it and until this was made it seems the owner I did so much for was claiming it as his build. I had to make a video as he made videos and posts of it to start his own business. So sad to say I do not have any pictures of it past this point.

Classic Restoration, Repair And Modifications:
From basic catalog restorations to custom modern upgrades, there are endless ways to give your car a new life. Panel repair, frame-off restorations, weight reductions and fiber panels are not just for imports. There is nothing like an all fiberglass classic that looks bone stock. Fun and fast, all while staying true to the original creation. Most people are just looking for a simple scratch and shoot, I can do that however I really like to make truly custom cars here. I would like to show an example of what can be done to a classic to help it lose weight, gain better handling and improve the MPG in most cases. All while looking bone stock original!

I found this 1969 Dodge 440 and got it running and on the road again, I tried so hard to polish it up and just enjoy it as it was, but we could not look past the three times hit car that was covered in rust and its stripped interior. So I decided to get started on the restoration after a bit of burnouts and cruises!

Stripping all classics down will bring out the inevitable rust and previous repair from the life it has lived. There is nothing that cannot be done with todays aftermarket and OEM suppliers as well as the custom creations that carbon composites can create!

Now with new floors, Primered and blocked, all rust and damage repaired it is sitting with all fiberglass panels ready for paint! This car was given fiberglass trunk, fenders, doors and a six pack hood.

I finished this build off with a deep firethorn pearl. The change in this car was so great it was hard to believe it was the same one, but to all outside appearances it was the same car with a paint job! There is nothing that cannot be done to the body or interior of a car, just tell me what you are wanting to do and I can make it happen!
