Mustang Boss update
Work on Pauls 1970 Mustang Boss race car replica is finding the homestrech point. The photos show the Aqua color we really like. Lots of pearls in the color that make it pop quite nicely. The jams get painted soon and the doors are already painted on the inside. We'll hang the doors as soon as the jams are done. The hood and fenders are about ready for paint but we will paint the exterior car as a hole to keep color application consistant.

more stuff
The ol Pan Head was one that was fun to paint just cause it was old. The Red pearl on the BMW was one of most difficult to ballance and not spot, after a few test panels and changed my technique to make sure it came out good.
This T-Bucket we painted frame blk and body red from funky green. It was cool looking but kinda scary to drive as the short stiff wheel base bounces you all over the road. The yellow flames on the rat rod are yellow over flat black.

A few more to look at
This site with new posting will normally have my latest updates on the projects I have going on now. Currantly a 1970 Mustang I go into detail below. But I listed a few past projects to have those interested to see some of the work done. I got fancy and up with a air brush for a while. I explane where I'm at with this kind of work when you scroll down. 
The above left is me with my 72 Plymouth (not a Dodge as Al always loveingly refered to on "married with childred").
The 3d flames was just for effect but look better on cars if done right.
This Road King Harley was one of my first. This was a HOK paints, red fade to black. Simple but effective keeping factory stripes with clear over all.

This was me a couple years ago with the 72 Duster thats become our test vehicle. The car was hit badly a few months after this and has been fixed but not repainted. Being a test vehicle it wont see new paint for awhile.
This was the before in Pauls engine bay. The above photo is before paint.
The above pictures are me with what now has become our test vehicle for our prototype fuel management systems.
We have a web site that will be up sometime the week of the 24th that goes into much detail in the work we have done and testing regarding our "chemical extraction methods" for better fuel management and efficiency with todays fuels. That web site is www.corberg.com
So this blog site is more for the restoration work I do and pretty much plan to do for as long as I am able in life. Having now been doing this for over 10 years, I've learned much and have grown to appreciate some of our early time iron.
The following are just some of the few vehicles I've painted, done body work and done some fabrication on. I was doing more "flame" work a couple years ago, and found that restoration was even more fun. There something about bringing back or even modifying those jewls from our yester-years.
The currant project is Paul McLaughlins 1970 reproduction Boss 302 Trans Am Mustang race car replica. Paul is into road racing. As you see it, Butch over at Coaches Chassis in Albuquerque fabricated his roll cage, and Paul has inlisted the help of his friend Vic Yarberry who's also a race car nut, to help in some of the plans to include some of the important modifications we have to accomplish to make it an exact replica.
We'll place the latest improvements on the car and sometimes, if I'm in the mood, to talk a little about how I go about stuff.

Some creations to look at
The Blue flamed Ford is HOKolors Bluberry Pearl over HOK Pearl White. Looks great in the sun. The Pro street Swinger is the creation of Mike (can't think of last name of yet) who dropped a 600hp 440. Yes it was a tight sqiz. Fred from the Car Guys fabricated roll bar, shaved handles, added four link and many other upgrades. Mikes brother have a custom dash company. I'll have web site posted when I find it.
The 65 Mustang was fun but gave the owner mechanical problems on a cross country trip back to Alabama. On the Dodge Ram, we added on more set of flames lower on the door after checking our handy work we felt that would give more ballance, just don't have a pic of the final.
The Fairlane has a new 390 motor rebuilt from Automotive Machine Services with the help of owner Doug Anderson. The Chevy Stepside of Pat Perea was somewhat of a nightmare do to some previouse bad chemestry. New Oak Bed and solid black all around. We air brushed Chevrolet on the tailgate.
