When customers come to us for restoration work, they usually worry about cost. You have nothing to fear. After decades of restoration projects, our crew has found ways to minimize costs on every job while maintaining quality.

We keep manuals, pictures, diagrams, and layouts for most classic cars, muscle cars, and sports cars from the early 1900s, so we can replace or rebuild interior panels and upholstery, modify your dashboard, and rebuild engines to perform. From new to refurbished parts, every option is explained up front, so your vehicle gets the care it deserves and you know where your money goes.

Get Perfectly Aligned Body Panels from Our Expert Restoration Crew

Want an eye-catching paint job with a mirror finish? Our expert restoration crew ensures every body panel is straightened, welded, and reassembled into perfect alignment, then refinished with color matched to the original factory codes.

We handle rust repair, dent removal, auto glass replacement, and metal fabrication for panels no longer available, with the attention to detail and final checks that make repaired areas disappear. We offer nothing but an excellent finish, and we guarantee it will last for many years.
