Classic restoration in Columbus.

Some vehicles are worth keeping for reasons that go beyond getting from one place to another. A restoration should respect that connection, with a plan that matches the car’s condition and the owner’s goals.

Start with the project, not just the paint

Our restoration services cover bodywork, paint, mechanical systems, and interiors. We’ll discuss what you want to preserve, what needs repair, and what you would like to change. Bring photos or details about earlier work if you have them. Project scope and scheduling are agreed with the shop.

Bodywork and refinishing

Restoration can involve disassembly and cataloging parts, stripping old finishes, repairing rust and metal, smoothing the body, and restoring trim. Frame-off work can be discussed when appropriate. Paint preparation may include priming and block sanding before paint, clear coat, sanding, and buffing. Details such as jambs and under-hood finishes belong in the plan from the beginning.

Mechanical systems and interiors

Depending on your project, we can discuss rebuilding or replacing mechanical systems, brake and suspension upgrades, engine and transmission work, and interior restoration. Seats, carpet, headliners, dashboards, door panels, and trim can all be part of the conversation.

Bring your ideas

Tell us your vehicle’s year, make, model, current condition, and how you intend to use it. A weekend driver and a more extensive restoration can call for different decisions. Call our Columbus shop at (614) 299-5551 to arrange a conversation about your car.
