What it is

The work most shops will not touch.

Collision is the volume. This is the passion. Classics, exotics, full custom builds and specialty paint on anything that will hold a finish.

Custom and classic work is not a bigger version of a collision job. Parts are not always available, panels are not always straight from the factory, and there is no flat-rate book telling you how long it should take. It takes a shop that will slow down and get it right. If you have something rare, unusual or genuinely not a car at all, bring it in and we will talk through what it actually needs.

How we approach it

Rare work deserves real time.

01

Scope before we start

We walk the whole piece with you first. On a custom or classic build, surprises halfway through are expensive for everyone.

02

Daniel is on it

The signature work is where the owner is most hands-on. He is in the bay on these builds, not just signing off on them.

03

It leaves when it is done

Custom and classic work does not run on a flat-rate clock. It goes home when it is as close to perfect as we can make it.

Common questions

Classic restoration and custom build questions in Las Vegas.

What does a classic car restoration cost in Las Vegas?

It depends entirely on the condition you are starting from and how far you want to take it. We scope the work in stages and quote it itemized, so you can see what a driver-quality finish costs versus a full concours-level rebuild before committing.

What is a restomod?

A restomod keeps the body and character of a classic while updating what you actually live with: drivetrain, brakes, suspension, wiring and climate control. You get a car that looks period-correct and drives like something modern.

Do you work on boats, jet skis and non-vehicle pieces in Las Vegas?

Yes, and it is some of our favorite work. We take on watercraft, motorcycles and non-vehicle pieces that need bodywork, custom paint or a specialty finish. Most body shops in the valley will not touch this, which is exactly why we do.

Can you match an original factory color on an older vehicle?

Yes. We match original finishes including single-stage and older metallics, and we can reproduce a discontinued color. We also do full custom paint if you would rather not stay factory-correct.

Do you take on partial restorations?

Yes. Plenty of projects are paint and bodywork only, or a single problem area like rust in a quarter panel. You do not have to commit to a full frame-off build to bring the car in.
