This is a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham that a customer sent to us all the way from California for a full frame-off nut and bolt restoration. With only 400 built this Brougham is a stellar car. At the completion of the restoration, this Brougham went on to receive its AACA Junior and Senior Awards with perfect scores, and then it achieved the AACA National Award

This car broke all sales records September 4, 2010  in Auburn, IN selling for $363,000. 

This one-of-a-kind 1950 Chevy 6400 Fire Truck will honor and escort our country's greatest heroes around the state of Ohio in funeral processions.  Old 132-1 is the first fire truck Sharon Twp owned.  

This is a 1971 Mercury Cougar that is a one-family-owned classic. The customer sent it to us for a full nut and bolt restoration with some little customization. Currently, the owner is enjoying driving his classic Cougar around NE Ohio.

This is a 1956 Chevy 210 that was sent to us for a full  frame off restoration with a mild customization. The owner of the car sent it to  AZ 15 years ago to be restored, after a lot of headaches he brought it to us to  do the restoration. 

This 1963 Chevy Corvette Split Window  Fuel Injection that underwent a full no expense spared nut and bolt frame off  restoration. When this car came to us it was in a number 3 driving condition.  Now that we are done with our restoration we feel it is one of the nicest Split  Windows around. 

This 1953 MG TD underwent a full nut and bolt frame off restoration. When  this car came to us it was in a number 4 driving condition. The restoration took  11 months and just over 900 man hours. The restoration was completed May, 2011  and it was shown for the first time at the Stan Hywet Meet June 19, 2011 winning  its class with a perfect score of 1000 points.   

This 1923 Ford T-Bucket came to us in a basket from another shop for  a complete build. When this car came to us it was a mess. The vehicle has been  disassembled and someone cut a lot of metal and structure out of the body. Once  we went over the project we saw that there was going to be a lot of metal  fabrication on the body and frame. The car is powered by a 60’s small block  Chevy Corvette 327 engine which is backed by a Turbo 400 automatic  transmission. 

This is a 1966 Ford Bronco that a customer brought to us to finish a  frame off restoration that other shops was not able to do  correctly.

This is a 1969 Mercury Montego that was sent to us by the grandson of  the original owner for restoration. 

This is a little 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB that came to us for a strip and repaint. The car was in bad shape due to where it was stored, but the paint job turn out amazing.

This 1969 Chevy Corvette came to us for a strip and repaint. This was a very  nice solid car that only needed minor fiberglass work. While we had the car  apart the owner decided to let us detail it a little more by re-plating a lot of  the chrome, bolts, hardware and polish the stainless making it a more stunning  job. 

This 1966 Chevy Chevelle came to us for a strip and repaint. This was a very  nice solid car that only needed minor body work. While we had the car apart the  owner decided to let us detail and paint the engine compartment. We re-plated a  lot of the bolts and hardware to give it a more stunning job. This is a great  street machine that the owner enjoys driving.

This 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod came to us in a basket from another  shop for a complete build. When this car came to us it was a mess. The vehicle  has been disassembled for more than 20 years and has been in and out of numerous  shops over that time. Once we went over the project we saw that there was going  to be a lot of metal fabrication on the body and frame. The car is powered by a  small block Chevy ZZ3 crate motor which is backed by a Muncie 4 speed  manual transmission. 

This 1940 Packard 120 Convertible underwent a body on frame clean up and  rebuilding, it is used as a driver so the owner didn't want to go too far where  he would not want to drive it. So we pulled the front end off of the car,  rebuilt the front fenders, pulled the drive train out of it to be rebuilt and  repainted. With the front and rear end rebuilt with all new bushings, it is a  really nice driver.

Even though we are known for show stopping restoration we also do just paint  jobs. This is a 1987 Suzuki Samurai that came to us to get all the rust fixed  and a color change. Once we got into it we ended up replacing the inner and  outer rockers, rear quarters, hood, wheel tubs and window surrounds. This was a  major rust repair job that turned out great.   

This is a 1973 Chevy Vega that we are turning into a mean street pounder,  It will have a 383 cu in small block Chevy backed by a Tremec 5  speed transmission. 

We have had a lot of cars come through the shop for minor and major work. This is a gallery of some of those cars.
