Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my car needs a full frame-off restoration? Look for structural rust in the floors and frame rails, sagging panels, or seized drivetrain components—schedule an inspection to assess scope.
Can I supply my own parts? Yes. We’ll inspect for fitment and safety, then install with our workmanship warranty. Parts warranty remains with the manufacturer.
Do you offer partial restorations? Absolutely. Many clients opt for staged builds—mechanical reliability first, cosmetics later.
How do you handle museum-quality projects? We source date-correct parts, document serial numbers, and provide full photo binders for concours documentation.
What happens if my project hits an unexpected issue? We pause work, notify you immediately, and provide a revised quote before proceeding—no surprises.
Is modern safety gear reversible? Dual-master cylinders, hidden seat-belt anchors, and discreet turn-signal relays can be removed to restore factory condition.
How long should I store my car before it deteriorates again? With proper storage—climate-controlled and dust-free—your restored car can remain showroom-fresh for years.
