Repetition makes for the best final product. This is why our R&D department is always buzzing. From testing new products that are under development, to reviewing current products and seeing how we can make them even better. This at times can be a bit frustrating, but in the end we feel this […]

Eastwood hits the “Big Time”.
Recently we were contacted by an automotive T.V. show by the name of “MotorWeek”. They asked if they could bring a project car in for some of our experts’ opinions on it. They also wanted to do some segments on Eastwood’s history and a bit of information on what we have going […]
Hobby, Addiction, Profession? You Decide!
Recently we were contacted by Terry of Tbird Specialty Powder Coating to praise us on our products. After hearing his story, I decided I’d do a blog entry on him.

Welder Handicapped? Fix that body rust quick!
Let’s face it, welding can pretty much be considered a “art form”. Many of us either have the lack of skills or the lack of experience to weld in a repair panel on the body of our project. Other times you may just not have the budget to buy a nice […]
