Summer Internship Objective:

Every year LeMay Restorations has at least one feature car restored for their annual car show in Tacoma, WA. This year we have two 1956 Powell's. Our goal is to have these cars restored and driven onto the show field on car show day, August 28th 2010. Will we complete these cars on time? ...

Keep checking this blog to find out!

Quick Note:

LeMay Restorations is a completely separate entity from the LeMay-America's Car Museum. The two Powell's are family owned and restored at their private shop. The museum is a not for profit organization.

Shop Layout





These pictures just give a layout of the shop where I'll be working all summer. The Manager of the shop Tom, has collected many tools and gizmos throughout his life. The shop may seem cluttered but everyone knows where everything is. The first picture is of the man-made paint booth which currently houses a client's Chevelle. The second, is of the paint hallway (Doesn't really count as a room) which houses all the paint, tape, guns, brushes, solvents, additives, and so on. The third, is of the sink, which I just find interesting because there is so much to look at and the part you need is somewhere in that shop. The fourth, is a 1949 Mercury four-door convertible. Very rare and is up on some stands for now while our main priority is the feature cars. The fifth picture is just another room in the shop where we grind, sand blast, weld and certain other various projects which will be known to me in the future as I am there longer and learn more.

  2. Ed,

    On my newest post (June 3), I've posted up a link to the Powell Registry website. They have some survivors, and some restored cars. Enjoy!
