The Worst Car In The World



Happy April Fools Day! This car really exists! The 1951 Hoffman. A 1935 Hoffman featured an X8 engine (as opposed to a V8) in a slightly more traditional chassis.

1925 Doble E-20 Steam Car from Jay Leno's Garage



Jay Leno has done an incredible job restoring a strange and wonderful car that has special meaning at Almost Everything Auto Body. Our founder, Frank Barnard, passed by publicity photos of Doble automobiles every day in the lobby of the old factory that was home and office for a bunch of friends during college. And it was in the Doble factory that Frank and his friend Tod first started a business called Almost Everything. . . and Nothing Else. The 1990 business license is in Frank's office today with the Doble factory address.

1972 Chevy Nova Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1972 Chevrolet Nova. This old muscle car came to our shop faded, chipped and overall tattered looking. Being the iconic car that it is, its owner decided to let us work our magic by first sanding the chips, scratches and nicks out of the old paint while also stripping the roof. Next we sealed the freshly sanded panels using a primer-sealer. Finally the car was ready for its new paint, which we applied in our "Single Stage Enamel" in the car's original color!

1964 Buick Riviera Paint Job!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1964 Buick Riviera. This beautifully designed classic land yacht came to our shop in desperate need of a paint job. Its paint had been neglected for years. Its surfaces were riddled with rust and other imperfections and the car was badly in need of paint! We began restoring the looks of this Buick with some light sanding to smooth any surface imperfections, then sealed it with a primer once sanding was done! We repainted this car using our basic "Single Stage Enamel" paint in a Toyota Silver!

Datsun 510 Restoration: BRE Trans Am Series Replica


1971 Datsun 510 BRE Trans Am Replica
Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a fun restoration project for us, especially because the Datsun 510 BRE replica was prepared by Larry Oka for a local car buff. Larry Oka is a local legend. He runs a racing school at Sears Point and says he was involved in racing the BRE Datsuns in the original Trans Am series. Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) campaigned these little monsters to the 1971 and 1972 SCCA Trans Am championships. Our version mimics the #68 car.

The owner of this car allowed us to show it at a show this year and let us drive it to and from the event. It was a hoot. The car is very quick, the engine is roarty and the handling razor sharp.
