  • Sand Blasting Service
    Sand blasting services involve using high-pressure sand to remove rust, paint, and other contaminants from a vehicle's chassis and body. This process efficiently strips away old coatings and prepares the surface for refinishing, ensuring a clean and smooth foundation for a fresh coat of paint or protective coating. It is a highly effective way to restore and maintain the integrity of your vehicle's exterior, enhancing its appearance and durability in the long run.
  • Paint/Powder Coating
    Our paint and powder coat services for hot rods and street rods focus solely on enhancing the chassis, ensuring durability and a sleek finish that complements the overall performance. Any additional bodywork enhancements are expertly handled by our trusted third-party vendor.

  • Engine/Transmission
    Maximize the power and performance of your race car, hot rod, or high-performance vehicle with expert engine and transmission repairs and installations. Our skilled team will ensure a seamless installation of both components for optimal performance.
  • Suspension/Chassis Builds
    Upgrade your suspension system to unleash the full potential of your vehicle. By replacing worn-out components with high-performance upgrades, you can enhance both horsepower and handling, creating a better driving experience. Considering a chassis upgrade with a new frame and upgraded suspension components? We can handle upgrading the frame with components made for high horsepower upgrades.
  • Restoration/Restomod
    Restoration can take on various shapes and sizes. If you desire your car to look even better than it did when it first rolled out of the showroom, while still retaining its original identity, a complete restoration is the ideal choice for you. This meticulous process involves rejuvenating the entire vehicle and all its components to mirror their original factory state. Many clients opt for a restomod restoration, which entails enhancing their vehicle with contemporary parts and controls while preserving its original look. For instance, this could mean installing a powerful LS or Coyote engine paired with a modern transmission, upgrading to larger disc brakes, fitting bigger wheels, and tweaking the suspension. On the other hand, a custom restoration involves completely transforming the vehicle by combining various components to create your dream car, no matter how unconventional the modifications may be.
