Youngstedts Team,

As you know Broadband America use’s Youngsteds for all of our fleet services, I recently decided to bring the truck I drive to your Maaco shop in Chanhassen for several repairs. I wanted you to know that the team in Chanhassen provided service that I thought was gone in today’s world. They bid the job while I had it in for service at the Youngsteds in Minnetonka so I didn’t have to go to them, they repeated offers to pick me up and drop me off, they called to update me on progress and when it was done. I picked up the vehicle and tried to remember where the damage had been but wasn’t sure because the repairs were so good. I can’t thank you and your team enough for actually providing hospitality AND quality work, I will recommend Youngsteds to everyone I know!

Thank you

Mark Wegscheid

Lime Green Civic!

Although a majority of our work at Chanhassen Maaco is smaller collision repair, fleet repair and other small "spot" jobs, we occasionally do an "Overall".  Most of the paint we spray is computer-matched base/clear paint.  This customer wanted a bargain single-stage paint job and he wanted a BOLD color... and that's JUST what he got.  Thanks for the business John, I hope you enjoy your new Lime Green Civic!

Attention MOPAR fans... 1964 Dodge Polara - Painting Project - Post 2

This was a fairly quick-turn job for us.  Jeff, the owner, had done MOST of the body work on this car.  We just did a final sanding, blocked and primed a few problem areas and painted her.  It came out real nice... can hardly wait to see it all put together Jeff!  Have an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend!

 Here the Jambs are getting masked off before the car is rolled into the booth

On goes the color....Lots and lots of Chrysler K5 Burnt Orange

Fresh out of the booth with a nice coat of clear!

All ready for the ride home... and hours of assembly

Glad you like your car Jeff!

Jeff Bickler has poured a lot of hours and love into this 1964 Dodge Polara.  It was dropped off this week to get the final glaze, sand and a coat of Burnt Orange Metallic Paint.  His hope is to have this car assembled within 2 weeks, and in the Back To The 50s show at the MN State Fairgrounds this summer.

1970 Maverick Project - Post 2

Bill finalized the sanding, smoothing, glazing, blocking, priming, blocking, priming, sanding....... this week.  The car went into the booth yesterday and we're all really pleased with how the Dodge Viper Bright Orange  Metallic looks on the car.  The panels came our really straight!  We can't wait to see this car all put together and on the Hot Rod Power Tour this summer!

Here's the car in the booth getting a final "wipe-down" before paint.

Bill was pretty proud of his handy work... as well you should be Bill... the car looks GREAT!

1970 Maverick Project - Post 1

Hi all!  We took in this 1969.5/1970 Maverick a few weeks ago.  The paint on the car was original and it was in pretty good shape.  It was just a little "tired" from 40 years of dings, dents and "war wounds" as the customer put it.  This car is a daily driver but will be going on the hot rod power tour!  It has a custom built 302 V8 bored and converted to a 343 stroker by PHP Racing (currently out of the car obviously).  It will also have a Tremec 5-speed transmission.  Our body guy Bill is putting a lot of love and care into straightening all the panels out.  Here's some photos of the car so far:

This is what the car looked like when they dropped it off.

 Not bad for 40 years old!

Bill starting to sand off the old paint, down to bare metal

Glazing, filling and sanding low and high spots begins

After many hours of glazing, filling, sanding, etc.  They start masking the car for primer

Here's the car with it's first coat of primer.  

The primer will then be blocked/sanded and re-applied

Check back soon!
