Our Auto Restoration Process

Every restoration project begins with a thorough consultation and assessment. During this phase, we discuss your goals, timeline, and budget to create a detailed restoration plan. Afterward, we document the vehicle’s current condition with photos and measurements.

Subsequently, our team begins the careful process of disassembly, repair, and rebuilding. Consequently, every component receives proper attention. In addition, we keep you updated throughout the project with regular progress reports and photos.

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Assessment

To begin, we meet with you to understand your vision for the restoration. Because of this detailed consultation, we can create an accurate scope of work and budget. Additionally, we inspect the vehicle thoroughly to identify hidden rust, structural issues, and parts needs.

Step 2: Disassembly & Documentation

Following the assessment, we carefully disassemble the vehicle while documenting and labeling every part. Therefore, nothing gets lost or forgotten during reassembly. Meanwhile, we catalog parts that need repair, restoration, or replacement.

Step 3: Bodywork & Rust Repair

Our craftsmen then address all body damage, rust, and corrosion. Furthermore, we fabricate new panels when needed and ensure all metalwork meets the highest standards. As a result, your vehicle’s body is solid and ready for paint.

Step 4: Paint & Finishing

Once bodywork is complete, we apply show-quality paint using premium BASF R-M® paint systems. Moreover, our climate-controlled paint booth ensures a flawless finish. Consequently, your vehicle receives a factory-correct or custom finish that lasts for decades.

Step 5: Reassembly & Detail

To complete the project, we reassemble your vehicle with care and precision. In addition, we detail every component and perform final quality checks. As a result, you receive a stunning restoration that exceeds your expectations.
