    Anybody know anything about Steves auto restoration in Portland, or or had any work done by him ? Found his site on the web, looks like he does very good work.
     
  2. He has been around for years and does first class work. HRP

    Steve Frisbie is a great person and one helluva car builder. His specialty is 33-34 fords and his patch panels have as much of an exact fit as possible.

    They've built many featured show cars and some amazing restorations. If you have it in the budget I'd say go for it.

    Expensive but none better
     
  7. SAR is not only a top notch full service builder. Their metal fabrication capabilities range from chassis fab to full body construction. It is worth while visiting Steve and his shop.

    They were the only ones making a steel rear roll pan for '32 Fords a few years ago, and had them make one for me. :)

    I have been to many of the same shows as them. I hear he is tough to work with, but his work is 1st class.

    I have checked out their website and from the looks of it they do some really great work.

    SAR's repro 33-34 panels are top quality and have helped me save a couple of coupes.

    In addition to the new repo '34 roadster & 3W their fab shop can build anything you can dream up from scratch. Steve's Dodge PU was totally scratch built. The Nomads are incredible. Bring lots and lots of cash.
     
  14. where else could you find a real steel 32 ford 3 window coupe mounted on the roof as a company sign.

    I bought my Brookville 32 roadster body from Steves, They bought them knocked down and assembled them. Basically same price, less freight, and way shorter wait. It was a great experience.
     
  16. I bought my quarters, rear panels and subrails from Steve's....couldn't ask for better.

    I use to work with there metal fabricator Colton great guy that really knows his stuff.
     
  18. And they don't bury it in cheapo primer (though I've heard Brookville has finally stopped doing that to their assembled bodies too). Here's some pics of the jig SAR built to do the 32 body.

    Also a shout out on his own tin. I got quite a few pieces from him for the '33 coupe I used to have.

  19. Colton is not longer there. He, along with the shop is Top drawer. I met Steve a top chopping seminar. He invited my friend & I to his shop gave us some video's and let us look around. Seemed cool to me.

    Steve Frisbie is a fantastic builder, and a great person. He was Inducted into Darryl Starbird's National Rod & Custom Car Hall Of Fame in 2008 at Starbird's Tulsa R & C Show.
