Our Classic Car Restoration Process
Inspection and Planning
We begin with a full vehicle assessment to identify rust, structural issues, and required repairs.
Disassembly
Parts are removed with care to allow for thorough surface prep and repair.
Surface Preparation
We use sandblasting or glass bead blasting to strip old paint and rust, leaving clean, ready-to-treat metal.
Mechanical Repairs
Once prepped, your preferred mechanical team can safely rebuild engines, brakes, and suspension. We can arrange to transport your parts.
Painting and Detailing
After blasting, the body is ready for primer, paintwork, and final detail finishes. We can recommend and transport your vehicle to interior detailers.
Reassembly and Final Touches
Once painted and reassembled, the car is tested and ready to drive or show.
