Metal, done the right way.

We are the foundation of the restoration: the rust repaired, the panels made right and every gap set in bare metal, so the car reaches the paint shop straight. Then the custom work that makes it stand out.

Restoration metal work

Back to factory specification, ready for paint.

A full restoration is a frame-off process. Every piece of metal is assessed, then repaired or replaced to meet or exceed how it left the factory.

Rust removal and media blasting

Every layer comes off, from topcoat and primer down to bare factory metal. It is the only way to find the corrosion and the old filler hiding underneath.

Rust repair and panel replacement

Rusted metal is cut out and replaced with new sheet metal, welded in and ground smooth. Rockers, quarters, wheel arches, floor pans, lower door skins.

Panel fit and gaps

Windows, trim and gaskets are fitted while the car is still in bare metal, so every panel and gap is set for a perfect fit. Less bodywork, a better end product.

Metal finishing

The craft that separates a restoration from a quick repair: body hammers, dollies and files, working bare metal back to its original lines by hand.

Custom fabrication

Metal nobody else will make.

Custom modifications

Hand formed suspension components to dial in the perfect stance, and one-off metal for cars meant to stand out at a show.

Custom fabrication

Parts that cannot be bought, made by hand. This engine dust shield was replicated for an REO fire truck.

Chassis and frame.

Weld-in frame sections, custom reinforcement gussets and new mounting points: the strength under a restoration, and under a truck that has to keep working.
