Shop question of the day: What sound does a buffer make? 🤔😂

The answers were entertaining, but we’ve come to the conclusion that we’re much better at restoring cars than making sound effects!

Sometimes the work comes first, and the camera comes second—but we're back with another update and plenty more projects on the way!

It's been a little while since our last upload, but we've been busy...

We’re headed to Columbus for the Goodguys Show! Come check out our booth inside the main building — more details coming soon! The event is July 10th-12th.

We’ll have Dan’s 1971 Z28 and Pat’s 1969 GTO on display. Both of these cars underwent complete ground-up restorations, and we’re excited to showcase them at the event.

We can’t wait to see everyone there!

We recently had a customer come into the shop needing a new track fabricated for their wheelchair accessible van. The original track had rusted badly, and replacement parts were backordered for over 6 months.

We were happy to help by fabricating a new custom track so they could get back on the road sooner.

Also, thank you for the Google review — we truly appreciate the support!
