Restoration

We do not give estimates on restoration of body and paint for the following good business reasons:

• There is no way to tell how much labor or parts will be needed for a specific project. Concealed previous repairs and hidden rust damage may not be visible at the beginning of the project
• Requests for changes and modifications to projects by owners can be made without having to re-negotiate the final price.
• Job integrity is not compromised by trying to fit repairs and refinish into a specific dollar category.
• A quality restoration will outlast a mediocre one. Someday, as your classic car or street rod continues to appreciate in value, the vehicle’s value and the restoration costs could be equal or even less.

Costs range from $15K–$50K depending on vehicle condition, scope, and materials. You’ll receive a transparent, line-item quote before work begins.

The total cost of a restoration will depend on the initial condition of the vehicle and the level of quality you want in the final vehicle such as concours, show, or street show. Below are just some of the aspects involved in the cost of restorations.

1. Preparation
2. Parts
3. Labor Costs
4. Finishing Costs
5. Vehicle shipping

Most restorations complete in 8–16 weeks. Exact timing depends on parts availability and agreed scope.

Completion times of a restoration vary depending on the condition of the car, type of restoration desired, availability of parts, and cash flow for the project. We can provide a relatively accurate estimate upon visual inspection of the car

We handle getting the necessary parts for your restoration. We have an extensive list of trusted resources for parts and information. We are also happy to work with parts you supply for your restoration.

We source genuine OEM components for authenticity, plus vetted performance aftermarket parts to match your goals.
