Automotive Reisen in Burr Ridge, Illinois is tackling quite the project! This 1955 Pre-A Speedster was used as a race car in the Midwest with the SCCA, mostly competing at Road America in Wisconsin. The new owner wanted to restore it back to “as new” condition, and the shop’s Pat Yanahan was up to the task. “After we sanded off over two 5-gallon pails of body filler, our forensic examination showed that the right front had been crushed and the rear had shown signs of a total rollover.”
Automotive Reisen assembled a crew of 356 body experts along with fabricators who were up to the challenge, for a project that was to last three years. Here are the first few pictures of the restoration.
Next: the April update.
