Even the best made and maintained classic cars will need mechanical improvements after decades of usage. In terms of repairs, our team is comfortable swapping out entire systems and installing a new engine if need be. We go the extra mile to acquire all of our restoration parts from reputable sources to preserve quality and boost performance.

  • Rebuild existing mechanical systems or replace systems.
  • Upgrade brake, steering, and suspension systems.
  • Rebuild engine or replace with a crate motor.
  • Upgrade transmission and gearing for a smoother ride.

From aesthetic improvements, to repairing key issues like rust or dents, our comprehensive body restoration process covers every inch of a classic car’s exterior. Classic cars aren’t just marvels of engineering –– they’re practically works of art –– and we treat them as such.

Even the smallest imperfections in a paint job can ruin the overall look of a classic car. Thankfully, we thoroughly prep every vehicle we paint to prevent unseemly fish eyes and to guarantee it leaves our garage looking beautiful and vibrant. Classic cars should be eye-catching, and that all starts with a killer paint job!

• Etch prime and seal vehicle after stripping.
• High build primer after body work.
