Our Projects

Volvo Lift Kit

While we typically work on lifting trucks, but taking on a car lift was a unique and exciting challenge. It was a memorable experience for our staff and an even bigger moment of joy for our customer. Seeing their reaction when they first drove the upgraded XC90 reminded us why we love what we do—bringing smiles and improving vehicles, one project at a time.

Key Upgrades:

3-inch lift
Premium tires and wheels
Light bar

Moments like these make our work truly rewarding, and we’re proud to have been part of enhancing this XC90’s performance, style, and presence on the road.

Projects like this remind us why we love working with classic vehicles—they come with history, character, and the satisfaction of giving them a new lease on life.

This project was truly special—a labor of love and craftsmanship. From the engine rebuild for more power to the re-built driveshaft, every detail was carefully considered. The upgrades didn’t stop there:

This build took us from the ground up, allowing us to pour care, skill, and attention to detail into every component. Working on a piece of automotive heritage is always an honor, and seeing the final result—a vehicle that combines power, style, and functionality—was incredibly rewarding.

Chevrolet Impala

This 1972 Chevrolet Impala came through our shop for a full custom exhaust built to bring out the performance and attitude these classic Chevrolets are known for. From the first bend to the final weld, this system was designed to improve exhaust flow, throttle response, and deliver a sound that feels right at home in a true American muscle-era cruiser.

Working on classics like this Impala is where performance meets nostalgia. Using modern fabrication techniques, we crafted an exhaust that enhances power while preserving the soul of the car—deep, aggressive under throttle, smooth and controlled on the cruise. Every detail was dialed in to match the vehicle’s setup and the owner’s vision.

The end result is a one-of-a-kind exhaust system that honors the heritage of the 1972 Impala while giving it the performance, presence, and unmistakable sound it deserves.

Personal Projects

Even Frank needs some TLC on his own vehicles!

He repainted his old S10, a truck he’s cherished since high school. The finish is flawless, and it’s a true reflection of his lifelong passion for cars.

As for the Corvette, no project is complete without a little extra flair. We installed a custom dual exhaust system, giving it a signature sound that turns heads on every drive.

Projects like these show that our team not only works on customer vehicles but also pours the same love, precision, and creativity into our personal rides. It’s a reminder that at Franks Tire & Auto, automotive passion drives everything we do.
