It might not be Fall yet where you are, but I felt like I travelled through time into the future last weekend when I headed to northern Michigan to pick up two 3.8 E-Type Coupe projects – because the Fall foliage was in FULL SWING up there!<\/p>\n

Things have been as busy as usual around here, and they get busier all the time with new shells to restore coming in as fast as the completed shells move out!<\/p>\n

We finally had to stop production for about a week during the first week of October to take a big road trip that has been planned since Spring, when we purchased two 3.8 E-Type Coupe project cars in Northern Michigan.\u00a0 Since then, we have been planning drop-offs in that area, and also found ourselves buying additional E-Type panels and parts that we knew we could pick up along our route – all Summer – and the next thing you know, we had QUITE a bit of stuff to retrieve!.<\/p>\n

These are not metalwork photos, but there are some interesting photos here of my October E-Type adventure – Enjoy!<\/p>\n

By the way…\u00a0 This is the story of picking up two E-Type project cars\/shells that we sourced for customers – and there are more project cars where these came from!\u00a0 We purchase quite a few “parts cars” and abandoned projects to get “core” shells, and end up with more parts and cars than we can handle or store – many with matching numbers and clear titles.<\/span><\/p>\n

The thing is, I hate parting out E-Types…\u00a0 I’d rather take the components from a couple of these basket cases, and see them put them back together into a properly restored E-Type – kind of like “parting out” in reverse!\u00a0 If you are searching for an E-Type project, give us a ring – we might have what you are looking for!<\/span><\/p>\n
