When S & S Auto found the car it was in rough condition but clean of rust and ready for a build. The car was stripped down to sheetmetal in 2006 for a complete rebuild from front to back.

Some of the details of our build included:

4 wheel custom built disc brakes Coil over  QA1/race craft suspension Custom built fuel system Roll cage Removed rear seats Custom built interior Hand built Autometer instrument cluster Vintage legend lime gold paint 18 bullit wheels

Five years after the initial rebuild it was time for a new motor. In February 2011 we installed a new from factory 2011 5.0 Ford “Coyote”  crate engine and a 6 speed manual transmission.  In just under a month of late nights after regular S&S Auto business we completed this project including ...]]> This Mustang started life as an 1988 GT and spent most of that time in California.

You could call the ‘stang a “basket case” when it was delivered to S&S. The unfinished project car was received in pieces with fenders, hood,  and bumpers in the vehicle where an interior should have been.

We started by stripping the car down and rebuilding from the ground up. First the suspension was replaced with all upgraded parts. The brake system was borrowed from a 2004 Mustang Cobra and customized to fit. S&S rebuilt a 306 Ford engine with ported aluminum heads, Edelbrock intake manifold, Paxton supercharger, headers, and 3 inch Flowmaster exhaust.

The interior was also completely redone  with new seats, door panels, carpet,  and headliner all completed in house. As a finishing touch the Mustang took Sonic Blue Ford paint and ...]]> This Mustang was rescued from Texas from another owner with hopes of restoration that was in a bit over his head.

I brought my truck to Steve and the crew at S and S to get new brakes and was in and out in one day. They did a great job and I barely missed my rig.  I started going to him for all of my auto maintenance and repair needs since the spring of 2009. Steve is always helpful and quick to respond to my request.  I highly recommend S and S repair if you’re looking for a solid, trustworthy, great service shop.

We have five vehicles and we count on S & S to keep them running.  Over the past few years they have done just that. Steve helps me stay on top of maintenance and quickly repairs any problems as they come up. His prices are fair and his work is fast.

If you have  a fleet of vehicles you rely on for your business, you can count on S&S to keep them on the road.
