2005 Toyota Camry with Insurance Claim Work

Today's Car of the Day is a 2005 Toyota Camry that came in as an Insurance Claim. The Insurance company (AAA) wanted Almost Everything Autobody to replace the rear bumper cover with a new part. Almost Everything found hidden damage to the bumper absorber and the insurance company paid for the additional damages. New bumper clips were also used and Almost Everything added flex additive to make sure the paint adhered to plastic. We painted the rear bumper cover off the car for better paint coverage and used the best quality paint to match the existing color and factory finish.

We can't take any credit for this (and we wish we could!) Thanks to Ken Hagler and son for posting on their Squido Page.

Car of the Day - 1974 Ford Maverick Restoration

Ol' Buzzard after Restoration at Almost Everything Autobody

This 1974 Ford Maverick came to us in need of a restoration. The owner of the car, Don Schennek, has a heck on an engine and transmission in this car. Check under the hood at any number of local car shows to see it. But the outside of the car. . . well, let's be blunt, it was a bit chewed-up, rusty. . . ugly. Don had Almost Everything Autobody repair dents on the doors, quarter panels, roof, trunk and fenders. We also welded shut 42 holes around the car where old mouldings used to mount. Almost Everything Autobody repaired fiberglass cracks on the new "Grabber" hood. We treated the rust on the right and left quarter panels by welding in new metal and in some areas, rebuilt panels in fiberglass. Don changed the color from a dull orange to white. Don's "Ol' Buzzard" is a regular at Northern California auto shows and after his restoration, he received an invite to participate in the prestigious Classic & Custom Car Show in San Jose's McEnery Convention Center. Thanks for letting us work on this great car Don.
