Classic Car Restoration
Don't let the age of a vehicle stop you from using it. From paint to body work, brought back to what it looked like when it left the factory.
Bare metal to mirror gloss, on a truck that proves it
The clearest example of how a restoration goes through this shop is a mid-1950s Chevrolet 3100 stepside pickup, taken down to bare metal and built back up in a deep two-tone blue. The bed floor went in board by board with polished chrome strips between them, the body work got done panel by panel, and the paint went on last, over all of it. That is the order restoration work actually happens in here: structure and body first, then colour, never the other way around. Trust the shop to work any classic car the same way, whether it is a full frame off job or a car that just needs the body and paint brought back to where it started.
What we work on
Classic cars, vintage bikes, and motorcycles. Body work is body work whether it is on a modern bumper or a fifty year old fender, and the same colour match guarantee applies either way. The shop has taken that guarantee further than cars too, restoring large household appliances like stoves and refrigerators back to looking new, which says something about how far the colour matching is actually trusted to go.

The build on file
One truck, driven home
The same truck that had its bed floor built board by board in the bay eventually rolled back out onto the street under its own power. That is the point of a restoration like this: not a static piece for a garage, a vehicle you can actually use again. It is the clearest evidence of what the shop's body work and paint can do together, start to finish.
Cars, bikes, motorcycles, and the odd stove
Restoration work here covers classic cars, vintage bikes, and motorcycles, and it is all body work and colour matched paint at the core. Rust and old finish come off first, the metal gets straightened and prepped, then it goes to paint under the same guarantee as anything else the shop touches. Three generations have worked this trade in the same building, so a car does not get treated as a novelty job just because it is fifty years old.
A free estimate applies here the same as it does to a collision repair. Bring the vehicle, or the parts of it, by 2015 La Salle Avenue, around the corner from Baylor, and we will look at what you are starting with before anything is quoted.
