We were asked to help with a special WOODY Street
rod project....click here
Boyd Coddington asked us to be a part of auto
design history and I said yes.
We visited his garage and took template dimensions
right
off the street rod.
Duane asked me to take the shapes down as Discovery
filmed their work.
The templates were then returned to our WOODY
SHOP to start the process.
These templates let us begin the roughing stage
without the car present.
Boyd had the Street rod eventually delivered
along with the Discovery film crew.
Once in position we wasted no time getting
started on the frames.......
The first thing to do was to remove the tape
placed at the Boyd garage.
We were able to let the film crew, Eric and Raffi,
see all steps to the process.
We were also able to have help from our assistant Jim as we shaped parts.
This was what is called "Real TV" where
almost everything is caught on tape.
We also had a number of PT's in the show as we
installed parts. vert-doors
Bobby took a seat in our Trike WOODY. A 475 H.P.
and 3 wheels ...WOW!
We had Chris make a final check all mounting holes for
install of the frames.
The shape of this WOODY ended up very clean and
fast looking.
All our WOODies were built in house. These
projects take weeks to complete.
We also restore older woodies. Here is a 1953
Buick we are refinishing.
Here is a picture of how the full design looks
before finish is applied.
Once completed we rolled the Street rod out ready
for the flatbed.
Our Main crew for this project:
left to Right....Kevin, Bobby, Raffi, Eric, Alex,
Chris, Jim, and PT Bob.
Bob
enjoyed working with Charlie in the Boyd Body Shop on Woody final steps. 
Duane
may sound tough but he's really a nice person who enjoys his work.
