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.

A New Look

It was time for a change. Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2007 BMW 328i that the owner changed from silver to gloss black. To make the transition clean, the owner chose to have the car disassembled so the new paint could flow into nooks and crannies and so there would not be overspray on lights and chrome. We removed the grills, door handles, mirrors, mouldings, fuel door and, of course, all of the lights and reflectors. We also painted the insides of the door jambs.

Chevy Volt Accident

Almost Everything's Car of the Day is a 2014 Chevrolet Volt that got hit by something that damaged the front bumper, hood, fender and headlight. When we disassembled the parts in the damage area we also found damage to the crash energy absorber. We replaced all the damaged parts with factory originals and matched the factory paint.
