Restoration costs vary dramatically based on the vehicle condition, restoration level, and scope. A driver-quality restoration starts in the tens of thousands, while a concours-level frame-off restoration can exceed six figures. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your vehicle and discussing your goals.

A driver-quality restoration typically takes 3–6 months. Show-quality restorations take 6–12 months, and concours-level frame-off restorations can take 12–18+ months depending on parts availability and scope. We keep you updated with regular progress photos throughout.

Yes! Rust repair and metal fabrication is one of our specialties. We can replace rusted panels, fabricate custom metalwork, and restore structural integrity. Even severely rusted vehicles can be brought back to life with the right expertise and investment.

While we specialize in American classics like Camaros, Corvettes, Chevelles, and Mustangs, we can work on any classic vehicle. Our body, paint, and mechanical skills apply to all makes. Contact us to discuss your specific project.
