Finalized the @heidtssuspensions Pro-G suspension install on Hecate by tacking the @flamingriverusa steering rack in place.

Start Finish . Restored the 1800e bumper cutouts back to the original early style holes instead of the incorrect later large hole. The car was wrecked in a previous life and the wrong front was put on, after extensive work to fix the bad repair we moved onto the visual aspects to make it right. . .... . #volvo #1800 #restoration #european #metalwork #sheetmetal #steel #englishwheel #hammeranddolly #tigweld #hudsonvalley #newyork #larsenrestodesign #keepingvintagemodern See more

Bent up some NiCu brake lines using @earlsperformance and @speedwaymotorsinc stainless hardware to feed the @wilwood brakes on the @heidtssuspensions Pro-G independent rear in both Osiris and Lorelei. We like to consider brake lines as just another piece of jewelry on these builds. . . . #protouring #hotrod #custom #handmade #nopattern #independentrearsuspension #irs #racecar #jewelry #hudsonvalley #newyork #larsenrestodesign #keepingvintagemodern

Sending you into the weekend with the 1800 and it’s new fender on for the first time. To get to this stage we had to rebuild much of the front frame, fender aprons and the core support due to a very well hidden but terribly botched repair but the metal work on this one is quickly coming to an end! . . . #volvo #1800 #sweden #restoration #metalwork #newmetal #rustrepair #betterthannew #allcomingtogether #hudsonvalley #newyork #larsenrestodesign #keepingvintagemodern

Biggest let down of almost any muscle car is the lack of a proper e-brake handle. They all have pedals or old fashioned under the dash grab handles . Thanks to @lokarinc Osiris now has a more modern style floor mounted handle which will be located in the upcoming center console. . . . #ford #mustang #boss302 #protouring #fabrication #metalwork #thesmallthings #modern #ebrake #hudsonvalley #larsenrestodesign #keepingvintagemodern

Last of the alignment is done on the ‘64 Corvette. Fold away headlights are never an easy thing but they make the car.
