Our Comprehensive Restoration Services

Frame-Off Restorations

A true frame-off restoration strips your classic to bare metal. We media-blast chassis and body components, repair or replace corroded sections, and apply epoxy primers to safeguard against future rust. See examples in our Classic Car Builds gallery for inspiration.

Bodywork & Paint

From small panel dents to full-body rotisserie work, our master technicians restore flawless lines. We match OEM color codes using digital spectrophotometers, then spray basecoat/clearcoat in our dust-free booth. Learn more on our Bodywork & Paint page.

Engine & Drivetrain Rebuilds

Whether you preserve a numbers-matching small block or upgrade to an LS or Coyote swap, we handle machining, blueprinting, and dyno tuning. Explore options at our Classic Car Engine Swaps & Performance Upgrades page.

Interior & Trim Restorations

We revive dashboards, seats, and trim using period-correct materials. Foam, springs, and fabrics are replaced or refurbished to factory specs. Discover craftsmanship at our Interior Restorations page.

Electrical & Lighting Restorations

Old wiring can be a fire hazard. We rewire harnesses, install modern fuse blocks, and offer LED-upgrade bulbs that look period-correct. Details at Electrical & Lighting Upgrades.


The Restoration Process: Step by Step

  1. Consultation & Goal Setting
    We meet at our Summerlin-area shop or via our online consultation form to outline objectives, budget, and timeline.
  2. Disassembly & Documentation
    Every part—bolts, badges, bumpers—is tagged and photographed for your build journal.
  3. Assessment & Quotation
    We catalog rust, metal fatigue, and missing components, then provide a transparent, line-item estimate.
  4. Metalwork & Fabrication
    Rotisserie blasting, panel replacement, bracket welding, and fender rolling ensure perfect fitment and alignment.
  5. Painting & Refinishing
    Epoxy primers, basecoat/clearcoat application, color sanding, and buffing yield a mirror-like finish.
  6. Mechanical Reassembly
    Engine rebuilds, drivetrain, suspension, and brake systems are reinstalled and torqued to spec.
  7. Interior & Electrical
    Dash assemblies, upholstery, wiring harnesses, and lighting are carefully reassembled and tested.
  8. Quality Control & Road Test
    A 50-point inspection and a mixed-terrain road test confirm concours-quality results.
  9. Delivery & Documentation
    You receive a photo album, parts list, tune files, and maintenance schedule.
