R&D Motorsports and Restoration

06/26/2025

Effective immediately, we are always striving to give the highest quality to our clients. R&D Motorsports will no longer sell or install aftermarket body panels due to inferior panels from all major suppliers in this industry, including problems with fitment, gauge of steel, and E-coating. We will source original steel panels or fabricate panels from scratch, using no Bondo, to offer the highest quality to our clients. If you are interested in this type of quality work, drop us a line and let's talk about giving you the car of your dreams.

At R&D Motorsports we do not use Bondo/Body filler.
Our metal craftsman will make sure that the metal is completely straight and smoothed before we even spray Epoxy on the bare metal.
So if you are looking for the best quality metal work and restoration give us a call (225)620-4655
We have been in business since 2008(we stay booked 4-6 months ahead) and our work speaks for itself.
So if you are interested in getting the highest quality Workmanship give us a call and let our "Craftsmen" show you the pride and care of what we do.

Quick photos is of a rare 71 Jaguar that we have replaced 80% of the metal.

At R&D Motorsports, we always do anything we can to help an animal in need. A coworker found a very small (1.5") RES (Red Eared Slider). He was very dehydrated, as he is an aquatic turtle & we don't have any lakes near by.
I made a tank for him out of a pencil case, gave him plenty of water to swim in, & even made him a raft. I knew we would need to rehome this little cutie I named "Sparky". After a few hours, he began to act get rambunctious. At that point, I knew he was ready to be released in his new home.
Our own Clayton Romie, came to pick "Sparky" up to release him in his new home, a huge lake with lots of other turtles & plenty to eat. I hope to see him again some day. 🐢❤️🐢

Thank you Clayton Romie, for the assist on this one.
