Classic Car Rust Repair
Rust cut out and replaced with new fabricated metal — not covered over with filler.
Classic & Vintage Car Restoration
Complete restorations, metal to finish.
Body Panel Repair & Replacement
Damaged, dented, or missing panels — repaired or built new.
Floor Pans & Structural Metal
Rusted-through floors, rockers, and structural panels rebuilt with new metal.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Steel, aluminum, stainless — fabricated by hand for classic and vintage cars.
Welding — TIG, MIG, Gas & Lead
Every welding technique, matched to the metal and the era of the car.
Hand-Formed Metal Shaping
Panels formed by hand from flat metal, the way these cars were built the first time.
Custom Panel Fabrication
When the panel isn't made anymore, I make it from raw metal, hand-formed to fit your car.
Frame-Off Metalwork
Full metal and bodywork for ground-up, frame-off builds.
Aluminum Bodywork
Aluminum panels and bodies shaped by hand. The work most shops turn away.
Before & After
