Taking restoration to a new level
Car enthusiasts really appreciate a good restoration job, especially when it is taken above and beyond.
Top-notch restorations were on display at Territorial Place Mall Saturday, June 4 for the Vintage Automobile Club’s Show and Shine. Owners were invited to bring their favorite cars, trucks and motorcycles out to be judged.
Owen Jeancart, co-owner of a body shop in Rosetown, brought an especially unusual restoration job to the Show and Shine.
It’s a 1929 Ford Model A restored to look like a B-17 Bomber, which was used in World War Two. Nicknamed the “Flying Fordtress,” it took Jeancart and those in his shop 800 hours to build.
