Built, cleaned, restored & repaired
Three things we do, in the order we do them best. We're car people, and it shows in the work.
Late Model Performance
We refine the process of building performance based vehicles and preserve the work. We know what it's like to have fun on the road, but also be proud of owning such a beautiful machine.
- Camshaft installations, DOD/AFM or MDS Deletes
- Header Installs
- Forced Induction (Supercharger/Turbo) Installations
- Fuel system installations (AUX/E85/Controllers)
- Tailored wiring bumper to bumper (Up to 1977 or custom chassis)
- Drop kits, Coilovers, Rear End replacements
- Custom Gauges, Ignition control boxes, Holley or Haltech wiring, engine harnesses
Dry Ice & Laser Cleaning
Dry ice blasting is a deep-clean that pairs kinetic energy with thermal shock. Solid CO₂ pellets fire from the nozzle, sublimate on contact, and lift foreign debris off the surface: no abrasion, no solvents, no residue.
For anyone who loves their car, it's a game changer. Restore a bay to a factory finish or prep it for the next step in a build, without spraying on shine that makes it look cheaper than it is.
Classic Restoration and Building
Frame-up rebuilds to weekend refreshes. We bring the classics back to the road where they belong, and finish the builds that never got their turn.
Auto Repair and Maintenance
Brakes, suspension, struts, engine work, diagnostics. The daily-driver stuff, done right the first time.
Around the shop
Builds, restorations, and daily visitors. A look at what's rolling through the bay.
