Event Coverage One Night in Austin: Dave's Perfection Automotive

I was in Austin for work last week and had a free evening to connect with some old friends. Continental Club proprietorÂ*and all around hot rod connoisseurÂ*Steve Wertheimer was high on that list. He invited me to come by 'the shop' before dinner, wh... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.

 

thanks for the look

 

I'd much rather work there than here.
That sign is a knock-out!

 

What a cool looking shop, just seems to have that old time honest working shop vibe.

 

What an awesome sign, nice to see Joe Cabrals green model A hangin out there. Very cool shop. ~sololobo~

 

Steve W. is one cool cat. I had the privilege of seeing his shop last April while in town for the Round Up.

 

Gotta love a place with that kind of vibe.

 

Cool - Thanks

Cool shop with so much style.

 

We got it good in South Austin, no doubt. The shop is going better than ever, thanks to El Jefe saving it from turning into another restaurant or condos. You can't buy patina like that - great shop, great guys running it. Thanks for getting the Sedan rolling again for the Revolution, fellas!

If you wanna keep tabs on all the killer stuff coming in and out of the shop - check out @Krupanut feed on instagram - theres always some great projects going on over here.

Glad we had a chance to visit a little before you had to run, Jay - wish you coulda stayed around another weekend for the Revolution, should be a great time. Come back and see us soon!

 

I am in love with those Mercury"s!!!

 

Thanks for this look. I need look like this too. If you wanna keep tabs on all thecar news coming - theres always some great projects going on over here by vehicle construction theme.

 

Love Dave's Perfection! I grew up in this neighborhood and before I could drive, this place would draw me in everytime I would go by. I had the privilege of working there for a little while when I was about 19 and driving my 2 door '60 Chevy. I was sad when I heard about Dave but really happy this place lives on. Dave and Ronnie were great guys to learn from. Austin grew too big and we locals moved along but it's nice to see pockets of real Austin living on!

 

beatnikontinental, you mentioned the Revolution this weekend. Where can I find more info about it?

Thanks
Matt

 

They haven't held that show in many years. But you can do a search on here under 'Hot Rod Revolution' and get lots of old pics.
