Project Cars

Welcome to the Hahn and Woodward "Restoration Times" blog!.....
In our blog we will offer restoration tips/tricks and ideas, keep you up to date on happenings at the shop and offer our thoughts on issues of interest to the Classic, Vintage and Collector Car Restoration marketplace.


For blog #2 we thought we’d give you a rundown of the active projects underway at our shop:

Currently, we’ve got a 1972 Morgan +4, a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coupe, a 1946 Chevy Hot Rod Panel Truck and a 1938 HRG Coupe, all in various stages of restoration.



As you can see, we have quite a diverse group of vehicles to work on. In the wings is a ’72 Mercedes 280 SE, an MG and a Ferrari.....with even more on the waiting list behind them.


At a high level, the ’46 Panel truck is nearing completion. It’s currently being wired and will next be sent to the upholstery shop to have the interior installed. The ’72 Morgan is in the process of assembly. The drive train is being installed at the moment. Soon we’ll get the body into the booth for paint. The Mercedes-Benz roadster and gullwing are being prepped for metalizing (more on this process in a later blog) and the HRG is being "test" fitted to make sure all of the pieces will go back together properly. To be sure, there is still a lot of work to do on these vehicles before they can be considered "finished" but we’re making very steady progress.


On a side note, we are saddened to hear of the loss of a friend of the Western Pa. car cruise community. DJ R.D. Summers passed away last weekend. R.D. was a regular DJ for many of the area car cruises. He was well known by many and will be greatly missed.


Check back soon. We'll be soon posting a fresh blog updating everyone on the progress of one of these projects in more detail and be sure to check out our website at www.hahnandwoodward.com with pictures of our projects and other services.


Happy motoring!
