First Guiness World Record for an Auto Body Shop?

At Almost Everything Auto Body we were flabbergasted when this plaque arrived via our friend Mike Camicia and his cabal of students & ne'er-do-wells. Mike is the local racing legend & Gunn High Auto Tech Instructor.

Almost Everything's admittedly small part in the adventure was sponsorship and moral support.

Believe it or not, this is NOT the first World Record that Almost Everything has been a part of. We also sponsored the "Beaver Geezers" 2009 World Speed Record Volkswagen Beetle.

1994 Toyota Pickup Collision Repair!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1994 Toyota Pickup. This bullet proof workhorse of a truck came to our shop after a recent collision. A vehicle decided to rear end this old pickup, causing the left bedside to fold in on itself, leaving a bunch of warped, crushed sheet metal in its wake. We got in contact with the owners insurance company, sent estimates, photos and other items to gain their approval for repairs needed, then began tearing the truck apart once we recieved the "go ahead" from the insurance company. The left side of the Toyota's bed was replaced, a few minor...and some major dents, were also fixed around the rest of the body.  Once the bodywork was completed we repainted the whole truck using our "Enamel + UV Single Stage" paint in the original Toyota color!

1985 GMC K1500 Paint Job and Customization!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1985 GMC Pickup.  This Monster Truck inspired Daily Driver came to our shop on need of some serioius help.  Its paint job had faded away to dust years ago and one side was coated in an unattractive layer of unfinished primer!  There was a mass of dents, gouges and holes that we fixed running nearly all the way down both sides of the bed.  We repaired those eye sores, cut the fenders to accomodate the new Fender Flares, and sealed the Truck with a light coat of Primer!  Once that was complete we Re-Painted the entire truck "Stealth Grey" using our Enamel paint!

1999 Chevrolet Tahoe Painted and Customized!

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe.  This rare 2 door SUV came to us with a failing paintjob that was done by a shop with "substandard" prepping procedures.  The last time this Tahoe was painted, the body wasnt even cleaned or scuffed prior to applying new paint, causing the freshly sprayed paint to lift.  We removed all of the "lifted" areas to bare metal to ensure that our new paint would adhere without a doubt.  This truck was refinished using our "Two Stage Urethane Paint" for an extremely close to factory finish, a deep wet shine, and a paint that will last through years of exposure to the elements!
