Bring your classic back to showroom condition with a no-compromises restoration. Our process demands complete disassembly, catalog and restoration of every component. Using our network of parts hoarders, contacts and car nuts we can get the right stuff for a nut and bolt restoration.
The first thing we do is completely disassemble the car. Every nut, bolt, piece of glass, wires, piece of trim is removed, cataloged and marked. Along the way we take notes for broken bolts, missing parts etc. From here we start a list of what we will need to complete your job in detail. Once the car is back from the media blaster - We will assess body damage and metalwork required - and which panels will be replaced or repaired.
After years under cars, we've honed the best installation matched with the right parts to do the job right
We can repair even badly damaged factory sheetmetal and use original parts when necessary for a high value historic restoration. We will use new old stock parts if available and keep your car numbers matching. We’ll sweat the details right down to date coded hoses and factory grease pencil marks if that is your aim.
You can expect to pay around:
for the parts
for installation and calibration
At this point we have seen most everything - and even if we haven’t there is enough information on concours restorations of every vehicle to arm us with the information we need to do the job right. If we feel something is out of our realm - we’ll call an expert for advice using our network.
Sure thing - we are happy to find the right original and NOS parts. They may cost more - and the time involved to find them will be billed - but we can do it.
We have a 25 year limited warranty on metal / paint / bodywork that is detailed in each estimate. Parts warranty is from the manufacturer, and installation is 1 year / 10,000 miles (whichever comes first) for installation.
This varies based on condition - but a restoration can take 4 mos. to 24 mos. depending on level of build, components and parts availability.
No way - we work on time / materials and parts. Once the car has been disassembled and blasted we can hone in closer on what it will take. But some cars need more work than others for metal and body, and some cars have parts that are expensive and hard to find.
We take a small portion for the build spec and design work if that is a part of the process. From there we bill on a regular schedule based on job length for parts, materials and labor. The payment terms will be defined in the build spec and estimate - but in general we bill every 2 weeks for shorter jobs, and every 3-4 for more complex longer term jobs until complete. It can be 4 payments or up to 30 payments depending on the job.
Totally! This happens all the time… “Restoration shop jail” is a terrible place to be. Just know that we may have to re-do some of the work that they already did to make sure it was done right - and we won’t get involved with getting your car back for you.
Pump the brakes! Although our facility is 20,000 square feet - we don’t have the room to get every car in right away. Our work is in high demand and we always pre-schedule. After we have given an initial estimate and have been given approval - getting your car in to start work can be weeks away - but we’ll schedule the next slot based on that approval and a small deposit.
Give us a bit to respond with a detailed estimate. We need time to do a through review to research and write your estimate.
