Restoration & Maintenance

We never intended to be a restoration shop – but our customers insisted. I have been restoring cars for 40+ years and have won a number of national titles. Today, the opportunity to work on and revive pieces of history is probably my greatest joy. When I was a dealer, I used my collections and the restorations of those cars as a method of therapy and relief from being a CEO. We do not paint the exterior of automobiles; however, every other part of restoration is easily within our grasp. For painting, chroming, interiors, etc., we have highly skilled subcontractors that I personally supervise. Whereas my experience mostly ranges with American cars from 1921 to 1976, we have taken on newer projects.

My primary focuses these last three years of operation has been to finish everyone else’s restoration. Many times, a car is restored, and either the shop get tired of working on it, or the customer gets tired of paying for it – and many details that make the car enjoyable on a daily basis are left unattended. My goal is to get you to drive your collector car, so I have special expertise in making old cars usable in the modern world. It’s not unusual for us to take completely restored shiny cars and gut them – removing transmissions, engines, window motors, dashes, rear ends, suspensions – making them new again, and reinstalling them without damaging the original restoration.
