Original Parts Group is excited to announce a new project we have been working on with YouTube personality Kyle Lindsey. You might be familiar with Kyle's channel SaabKyle04, named after his first car in 2004. Kyle's YouTube started off with in-depth car review videos and has since evolved into a collection of project car series. The next project Kyle has lined up is a 1969 Chevelle Malibu Sedan. (more…)
As we slowly find ourselves leaving our "home offices" behind us and heading back to OPGI's headquarters, we also find ourselves very short on time to plan and host our Classic Car Show. Sure we could throw something simple and last minute together, but we would never want to sell you short, that's just not OPGI's style. We thrive not only on providing you with quality Product and Customer Service but also on providing you with quality Car Shows. With…
Since everyone has been stuck at home, what better time to get to work on that project car you have been putting off? We went on social media and asked our followers to share what they were working on. Check out some of the projects below! (more…)
A new commercial for Original Parts Group had been in the works for quite a while, and we couldn't have scheduled it at a more perfect time as a week after filming, COVID-19 brought everything to a halt here in California. (more…)
This year was the Grand National Roadster Show's 71st year and Original Parts Group Inc. was pleased to be in attendance. The event moved south from Oakland 16 years ago to the Pomona Fairplex and is now the destination where hundreds of registered show cars are on display each year. (more…)
It was a fun and very eventful day for Original Parts Group and our Car Show Team on June 8, 2019, as we hosted our all Chevy car show for pre-88 models. If you are a Chevy guy or gal, OPGI was the place to be. This show kicked off the first of our two Spring-Summer Series car shows, held once again at our headquarters in Sunny Seal Beach, California. We had delicious breakfast items and coffee served by some…
Just a couple miles down the road from Original Parts Group is Main Street in Seal Beach California, home to the Seal Beach Classic Car Show. Each year the show gets bigger and this year there were over 500 classic vehicles. OPGI was set up on Main and Electric with two fully restored cars in tow, t-shirts for sale and free catalogs offering an extensive collection of parts for classic GM vehicles. Check out the galleries below including some of…
Why the Original Parts Group’s 1966 SS396 Chevelle has so many rare options will forever remain a mystery. When purchased from the proverbial “little old lady” from San Diego, the Chevelle was a real SS 396 originally built with the rare and desirable L34 360hp 396ci option, but what a heap. Rust, missing parts, and body damage made it a project, not for the faint of heart. “It was so bad I didn’t know whether we’d even try to restore…
Our East Coast customers are the best, and they have it harder than the rest of us who restore old cars. Why? Take a look at the images of our stripped 1964 Corvair Spyder convertible to see what we mean. Purchased from the third owner in Long Island, New York, the rust is actually not as bad as we’ve seen in many east coast projects. (more…)
While our guys here at Original Parts Group worked on the getting the inside right, we sent the body off to Elite Restoration in Bellflower CA. As you can see in the gallery below, some pieces of the body were beyond repair. Luckily the guys over at Elite Restoration had a bit more leeway pulling sections from a '62 Corvair junker acquired by OPGI. Next up, engine work, suspension, and brakes. Keep an eye out for our next blog post documenting…
