Yesterday we began the "physical demolition" of the 1934 Chevrolet Coupe.  Below, you can review some shots of the Vehicle PRIOR to Disassembly.  
  Enjoy the Deconstruction of this Beautiful Car!

We accomplished quite a lot!....We removed the Door Panels, Window Trim, Windshield & Garnish Mouldings, UnderDash Trim & Panels, Kick Panels, Front Carpets, Seal Plates, Center Console, Metal UnderDash A/C Vent Panel, All associated Wiring Components, Dash, Gauges, A/C Ducting, Dropped the Steering Wheel, & Removed the Front Headliner Panel, the two Windshield Wiper Drive Motors, Wiring-to-Drive-Motors, & the Front Speaker/Tweeter System! 
             Wheeew!  

The '34 Chevrolet Coupe is now prepped to fabricate the mounting brackets & install the Specialty Power Window Wiper System.

Please check back for ongoing updates on this intensive upgrade!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  We sure did!
  
Allen recently completed a repair on this 1976 Jaguar XJ 5.3 C for a local Jaguar enthusiast David Maupin.  This beautiful vehicle will soon be on its way to Europe, and needed some minor adjustments prior to shipment.  The back quarter panels of the vinyl top had developed some minor rust spots & needed to be salvaged professionally!

Below you can see the progression of repairs on both the Driver's and Passenger's side quarter panels.  

...and on the Passenger Side....

Allen Carswell's Pro Auto Interiors & Tops has been SO very blessed this year....and we want to THANK each and every person we have had the privilege of working with in 2014! 

We are grateful to God Almighty for HIS provision and keeping HIS hand upon us throughout this year of many many changes, twist and turns in our lives!  

We want to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year & Blessings in 2015!  

We have completed the OEM Top and Interior restoration on the 1990 Allante!!!!
A brief History of the Allante...By Richard Truit..You should hear the Allante's burbling exhaust. With the top down, it inspires sport  driving. With the top up, you can't hear it unless you really wind up the engine.The engine is a willing - though not overpowering - performer. That's good, because a car like the Allante needs to impress with finesse as well as with muscle. Cadillac has struck a nice balance between the two. The four-speed automatic transmission proves General Motors makes the world's finest automatics. Not only is the shifting perfectly calibrated, it is ultra-smooth and the gears are designed to extract a decent mix of performance and economy.
 The Allante is equipped with traction control. Because it is a V-8-powered, front-wheel-drive car, things could get a little loose on wet pavement. However, the traction control ensures that tires never lose their grip.
It excels in every driving situation - on smooth, flat roads; through fast, sweeping curves; during hard braking; and into quick turns. In fact, any twist in the road you might find likely will present no problem for the Allante.
The suspension is firm, but that does not translate into a ride that rattles your spine over speed bumps and bad pavement. If you like cars with superior mechanical specifications and high-tech equipment, you'll be pleased with the Allante.
The interior has a nice, warm ambiance.
The car's powerful computer system provides the driver with all the information he could need. Included are range, miles to empty, oil condition, trip odometer and trip time, outside temperature - among others.
All the switches are easily reached, sensibly laid out and lighted. The sound system, AM/FM stereo cassette with CD player, is terrific.
The trunk is fairly large for a two-seater. It can hold 16.5 feet of cargo. There is more storage space behind the seats.

Counting down to Christmas....
Are You? 
Have you got all your Decorating, Shopping, Baking, & events planned out?  
Not Yet?!?!?.....well never fear!
You still have 20 days left!

Here at Allen Carswell's Pro Auto Interiors & Tops we are busy working like little elves!
Work continues on the '90 Allante, with the Convertible Top installed and seats in production.   We will post the Before and After pictures to show the great upgrades.  Meanwhile, you can see Allen installing the Convertible Top below...

We are also excited to see an old friend and his Show Car in the Shop.  Ken Saylor brought in his 1934 Chevrolet for some additional upgrades in the Dash and a Center Console.  Stay tuned for more Pics to follow....

We are wishing you a wonderful Christmas Season this year...Take time to focus on the Reason for this Season!  We are praying you are blessed with Peace and Hope in Christ!

Check back for ongoing updates and upgrades!  And as Always....Have a Blessed Day!
