Custom Installation

Installing aftermarket or custom components is an area that most restoration shops avoid, but not us. We pride ourselves in the ability to plan for and install aftermarket or custom components as if the project was made for it. Below are a few examples of the many custom installations we have done.


Custom Installation - Automotive Restoration Services - Fred's Fabrication, Inc.

Aftermarket Air Conditioning

Installed under the factory dash with the condenser being installed in the normal location in front of the radiator.

Drive Train and Steering

1954 Nash Metropolitan Convertible
We installed a later model GM V-6 drive train into this very small car. All mounting brackets were fabricated or modified, as well as mounting surfaces being modified. The steering was an engineering feat in itself, with there being no binding of any kind.

The gas and brake pedal assemblies were modified due to the custom firewall and transmission tunnel.
