This Week at FantomWorks is a short post that we have started to give a little insight on the ongoing projects that the shop is currently working on. Since many can’t make it to the shop for every weekly tour we decided to bring a little bit of the shop to everyone. Hope you enjoy…
Hope you enjoyed the brief update on just some of the numerous project currently in the shop.
We start the week off with the 65 Mustang making it up front. 
As does the 69 black Camaro. 
The 62 C10 has become Audrey’s favorite car to test drive right now… 
And the storage of the 71 Charger is coming to an end so she gets cleaned up. 
F.N.John begins to wire up the 72 Corvette Restomod 
Jon begins to investigate a leaky cylinder on the 48 Chevy. 
The 76 Jaguar LS3-Type awaits the installation of it’s hard top rear window. 
The 80 Firebird gets ready for it’s new interior. 
The 69 orange Camaro just awaits the owners decision on rims and tires. 
The 54 Corvette makes it into the paint booth. 
Wayne gets the 69 Corvette ready for Block II 
Jon continues to piece together the 50 4100 Farm Truck engine. 
Andy gets the 63 Teal Corvette ready for the paint booth. 
Dave and Andy work on prepping the 63 Blue Corvette. 
Jon awaits the correct clutch plate and flywheel for the 63 Corvette CVT. 
ChrisP gets the 61 Corvette diagnosed and begins to work on some of the engine issues. 
Jon puts the 87 El Camino on hold until it’s new rear differential comes in. 
ChrisP continues to assemble the 63 brown Corvette. 
as well as continuing to trudge on with the 50 Monterey 
Jon gets a break from the Ferrari after he gets it to move under it’s own power. 
And the 57 Corvette “Stinky” airs outside after getting the second round of power-washing.
Great to see all the projects moving right along. Great job guys! Very hard to pick a favorite but I’m leaning towards the 69 black Camaro Or maybe the 61 black Corvette. Or maybe……….
also appreciate the updates as they serve to emphasize the broad range of projects
the shop tackles. My favorite’s gotta be the Corvette vette, since that is more my era anyway
Thank’s for the update, always interesting.
Love the ’54 Vette (my dream car is a 53/54) with a period correct I6, multiple carbs and overdrive auto – my arthritic knees couldn’t stand up to driving a stick shift car 🙁
I was sad to see my favorite show cancelled but fortunately motor trend still airs your reruns frequently. My wife and i were scheduled for a tour prior to COVID, i am hoping to do that soon. I have enjoyed keeping up with your projects on YouTube. Best wishes and thank you for many enjoyable hours.
This is just a general post from Belgium in Western Europe. We’ve recorded the complete series of Fantomworks and watch one or two everyday. My wife and myself are like two small kids watching a cartoon when it comes to Fantomworks. We have never seen such a fine bunch of professionals at work. What a great team of fine mechanics. Watching you guys restoring a car, is like a hot summer eating a nice cool icecream, just delicious. To see how much effort is spend into getting things just perfect, even into the smallest detail, is something I bow for with the greatest respect. It must be an honor to be able to work in such a place. I’m a mechanic myself, and if I would live anywhere near Fantomworks I would beg on my knees to learn from you guys. But I am already retired but still once a mechanic always mechanic.
We wish you a merry christmas and happy new year from the other side of the globe.
