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. If you are ever in the Norfolk area on a Friday, come on down and see the work being done yourself during one of our weekly Tours.

Watched your show last night about the 53 3100 pickup. I have a restore 53 so was especially enjoying the show. Everything was great until you said you got 54 Chevy doors instead of 53s. The door had pull down door handles. The 52-54 had push button. I thought maybe I was wrong until you showed a shot of the door with “51” in chalk written on the door.
You did a great job on the truck, but had to comment on an obvious error. Love your show. Keep up the great work.
The 37 Buick is a surprise. What did it need? Most parts, harnesses and tech. support is available.
Google the Buick Club of America. Perhaps the owner is a member. I owned a 40 Century sedan for 17 years.
I have a friend in Minn. with many parts.
It was a complete car when we started so hopefully all the parts will still be here when we start to put it back together.
Are you ever coming back to TV
Not currently, but we do occasionally post videos to YouTube and host a Facebook Live stream.
I would love to visit sometime – not that difficult as we live in Md., 40 miles north of DC.
On another subject, I am interested in buying a “restomod”, probably lean to Chevelle convertible. My problem is it’s a fairly substantial amount of money & I am uneducated in how to evaluate condition & value. So, I have not done anything.
Obviously, if I’m looking at a new car, it’s easy: Window stickers, truecar.com., etc.
With a restomod, how does a neophyte like me find a trustworthy intermediary to find & endorse the right car at the right price?
From watching your show, you come across as honest.
We have provided a vehicle finding service in the past, just complete a project submission form found here: http://projects.fantomworks.com/
Making sure to state in the vehicle description that you do not currently have the vehicle and to list the options/set up that you would like.
Very nice. It’s nice to see some of the cars in the shop and the different locations that take place on a build.
Really nice to see some of the cars in the shop and the locations that each stage can take them. You guys do a class act job. Wish you guys were still doing the show but I understand that it can be a distraction. Maybe show the different areas of the shop such as woodworking, metal fab, mechanical and paint in some of the pictures. An occasional video would really be a great addition. Thanks again for the dedication to the craft.
Car is great wheels a not get back on TV!!
