1966 Convertible Malibu


Another beautiful convertible top has been completed by the amazing Shawn Katt! Shawn tediously refinished the frame of this beautiful 1966 Chevy Malibu and then hand cut and stitiched the new top with black German canvas. The completed top is a work of art and the customer was very pleased.

SEMA 2010


We came, we saw, and we kicked some ass with a 1970 Pro-Touring Challenger built by yours truly, Gearhead Garage! SEMA was a mad rush of high performance, high octane and participants/spectators high on life as they perused the many, many, many different cars, trucks, motorcycles, vendors, and talent that make SEMA, SEMA! The talent, of course, being the amazing drivers that showed of their mad gymkhana driving skills! ; )
Our Challenger captivated many spectators at the ARC AUDIO booth even the interest of the one and only George Barris! George was kind enough to take a photograph in front of the 440 beast with owner Russ Alm. All in all SEMA 2010 was a great turn out for Gearhead Garage!

P.S.- Plans and restoration have already begun on a potential candidate for SEMA 2011! I would give you a hint but I don't want to lose my job so you will all have to wait until I get the green light to share more! :)

Look what the Katt dragged in.....

A Rat! Rat-Rod that is! The owner of this 1936 Ford Coupe has truly captured the spirit of the Rat Rod. From the rough-custom chopped top to the brake fluid bottle radiator reservoir! This rusty rod rolled into Gearhead to get a custom black canvas snap top cover and the skilled hands of our own Shawn Katt hooked him up! The stark black canvas against the chrome snaps really completes the look of this radical ride and adds a bit of elegance! The owner was very pleased as he rolled out of Gearheadville, a rat with his new top hat!..........THE END
