From frame-off restorations to custom performance builds — we engineer your vision into reality, with fabrication and engine work kept under our roof.
A build is a legacy. We start with an honest assessment of the car and keep communication transparent through every stage, so you always know where your project stands.
Quality is controlled by keeping the work in-house — fabrication and engine work happen in our shop. And we don't just restore history; we upgrade it for modern drivability, from period-correct restorations to restomods and pro-touring builds.

Restoration & custom builds questions
Good to know
What kinds of builds do you take on?
Frame-off restorations, restomods, pro-touring builds and one-off customs — from runners to rolling chassis, cars in boxes and barn finds.
Do you keep the work in-house?
Yes — fabrication and engine work are done in our shop, which is how we control the quality.
What does a restoration cost?
Every build is different. Tell us the car, its condition and your goal, and we'll set up a consultation and a written plan. Full builds typically start in the $25,000 range.
Can I finance a build?
Yes — financing is available for projects big and small.
