Our signature service involves completely separating the body from the chassis. This allows for thorough inspection and repair of both components, addressing rust and structural issues hidden from view. Every part is cataloged, refurbished, or replaced with period-correct alternatives before the vehicle is painstakingly reassembled to concours-level standards, ensuring structural integrity and a flawless finish from the ground up.
The heart and soul of your classic car deserves expert attention. We meticulously rebuild and tune original engines, transmissions, and differentials. Using precision machining and authentic components, we restore power, efficiency, and reliability while maintaining historical accuracy. Whether it's a powerful V8 or a delicate inline-four, our technicians ensure your classic performs as it was originally intended, if not better.
The interior is where you experience your classic car. We restore or replicate original interiors, including seats, carpets, headliners, door panels, and dashboard trim. Sourcing correct materials like leather, vinyl, and fabrics, our skilled upholsterers recreate the factory look and feel, paying close attention to stitching patterns and material textures to ensure authenticity and comfort.
Achieving a show-quality paint finish requires expertise and patience. Our paint specialists prepare the body meticulously, addressing any imperfections before applying primer, base coat, and clear coat. We utilize original color codes and techniques where possible, culminating in a deep, lustrous finish that highlights the car's iconic lines and protects it for years to come. The finishing stages involve meticulous polishing and detailing.
Rust is the classic car's greatest enemy. Our skilled metal workers carefully assess and treat all areas of corrosion, fabricating or sourcing replacement panels as needed. We use traditional metal shaping techniques and modern welding methods to restore structural integrity and body lines, ensuring that rust is permanently addressed and the vehicle's metal work is solid and accurate before any finishing begins.
Classic car electrical systems can be complex and prone to issues. We offer comprehensive repair and restoration of original wiring harnesses, gauges, lighting, and accessories. For clients seeking improved reliability, we can also integrate modern upgrades like electronic ignition or updated charging systems while maintaining a period-correct appearance, ensuring safety and functionality.
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your vehicle's current condition, discussing your specific goals, vision, and expectations for the restoration project in detail.
The vehicle is carefully and completely disassembled. Every single component is meticulously documented, photographed, and cataloged to ensure precise reassembly later.
Addressing rust and structural issues is paramount. Skilled metal shaping and welding are performed to repair or fabricate panels, restoring the body's original form and integrity.
The prepared body undergoes primer application, precise color matching, and multiple layers of paint and clear coat, followed by meticulous sanding and polishing for a flawless, deep finish.
All mechanical components (engine, drivetrain, suspension, brakes) and electrical systems are fully rebuilt, repaired, or replaced to ensure perfect functionality and safety.
Interior elements like upholstery, carpets, headliner, dashboard, and all trim pieces are restored or replaced using authentic materials and techniques to recreate the original cabin ambiance.
The painstakingly restored components are carefully reassembled. The vehicle undergoes extensive testing to ensure all systems function flawlessly and meet our high standards.
A final, detailed cleaning and inspection are performed. Your beautifully restored classic car is then proudly delivered back to you, ready to be enjoyed on the road.
