Once it’s in the shop, your vehicle is thoroughly inspected – inside, outside and under the hood – to assess the current condition and recommend the appropriate level of restoration.

Next, the vehicle is disassembled down to a bare frame, if needed. The engine and gearbox are removed, individual parts are inspected, cleaned and replaced, and each part is meticulously cataloged for rebuilding or replacement as necessary.

The body is thoroughly refinished, removing any rust, dents and other blemishes. Paint is applied to specific areas of need, or the vehicle is re-sprayed altogether using factory-correct colors and techniques.

The car is then reassembled and undergoes thorough inspection and testing. In fact, the quality control standards the vehicle is subjected to during the restoration process may be even higher than when it was originally built.
