Case studies

Inside the build

A closer look at the challenge, the solution and the result on a few recent projects.

Pro-touring build

Big-block pro-touring conversion

14 months
Fabrication
Performance
3D CADD

The challenge: The owner wanted modern handling and a 600+ hp big-block, but the original frame was cracked and parts weren’t available.
Our solution: We designed and built a full tube chassis in 3D CADD, fabricated custom engine mounts, and phased the build so the budget stayed on track.
The result: A street-legal pro-touring car that corners like a modern sports car and still looks period-correct.

Show car

Rainbow-fade gasser

9 months
Custom paint
Fabrication
Show prep

The challenge: Lay down a seamless seven-color fade over hand-shaped panels, with no visible banding under show lights.
Our solution: Hours of block-sanding, custom-mixed colors, and multiple clear coats wet-sanded and polished by hand.
The result: A head-turning show car that draws a crowd at every event it attends.

Classic car with retro stripes masked in the paint booth

Paint & body

Retro stripe refinish

Body
Paint
Graphics

The challenge: Recreate a faded factory-style stripe package that was no longer available as a kit.
Our solution: We measured and digitized the original graphics, then masked and sprayed them in paint rather than vinyl for a lasting finish.
The result: Crisp, era-correct stripes under a deep clear coat, built to last for decades.
