Restoring all original R12 Air Conditioning in house!
In the past we have installed our fair share of aftermarket A/C systems but we can now bring original systems back to life. Even if its in a box in your garage. And yes it can be charged with R12 which due to its density stays in the system better, and R12 cools better, But R134 can be used in the original system as well, and has the benefit of lower cost and availability. 2017
The one and only Fitch Phoenix
This car sold in 2016 for just under a quarter million. Making it the most valuable Corvair to date. The current owner is bringing it in line with John Fitch's original concepts by rebuilding the engine. Adding 6 downdraft Weber carbs on 196 cubic inches.
And we are honored to be assigned the engine build.

Yenko Cylinders Made in House
FiberMotion first proto-typed these jugs for Yenko to accomplish an increase of 32 cubic inches; taking stock 164 ci to 196 ci.
While Yenko jugs are the historically correct way to go, they are not the only way to accomplish 196 ci, Volkswagon jugs are the more economical way to go. We do both. 2009
Yenko Stinger ys003
This car is one of the best documented cars out there, but from all my reading I can't find any information about how they reduced its weight for racing. We did a full rotisserie restoration on this car and if it was any other, we would have talked the owner into getting another car. This one was lightened by cutting metal out were ever possible. Even exterior fenders to make room for larger tires. We put it all back. 2007
Our Gas heater Kit
The gas heater kit we previously used is getting hard to find, or is no longer available. Meaning no more rebuilds, but we replaced it. Its a good thing we did too, we've been doing this so long we are seeing the kits die from old age. Rubber hardens and fails. We replaced all rubber with Viton. An electric fuel pump is used to eliminate typical issues and allows the heater to be used without the engine being on. The electrolytic capacitor that is used as a condenser is replaced by a mica capacitor. The original full 12v hi output coil is replaced with a new one of equal quality. The original solenoid is replaced with a new higher quality one that fits perfectly where the old one went. And really all parts are new or like new.
Best of all, no changes show. 2017
