Services — Exclusively Classics

01

Full Restoration

Ground-up or partial restorations built to your vision — concours show quality, driver-grade reliability, or anything in between. We document every stage with photographs and written records, so you always know exactly what was done and why.

From bare metal bodywork to final detailing, every trade is handled in-house or by vetted local specialists under our direct oversight.

02

Disc Brake Conversion

Factory drum brakes were adequate in 1965. Modern traffic is not 1965. We convert classics to four-wheel disc brake systems using period-correct or aftermarket kits that stop confidently without altering the original character of the car.

We work with the leading conversion suppliers and spec the right kit for your specific model, usage, and budget.

Front and four-wheel conversion packages
Power booster and master cylinder upgrades
Proportioning valve calibration
Stainless steel brake line replacement
Full bleed and road test

03

Air Conditioning

Texas heat is no place for a classic without A/C. We restore original factory air conditioning systems and retrofit modern R-134a upgrades that blend into the engine bay without compromising authenticity.

Whether you have a factory Frigidaire, dealer-installed Hang-On, or a blank firewall, we have a solution that works for your specific vehicle.

Factory A/C system restoration
R-134a modern refrigerant conversion
Evaporator, condenser, and compressor replacement
Complete leak testing and charge
Aftermarket add-on systems for non-A/C cars

04

Paint & Bodywork

From a stone chip on a door to a full bare-metal respray, we handle all body and paint work in-house. Our process starts with thorough metalwork — every panel is properly prepped before a drop of primer goes on.

We match factory color codes using period-correct formulas, or work with you on a custom direction that respects the car's character.

Panel straightening and metalwork
Rust cut-out and patch panel fabrication
Epoxy primer and proper prep
Factory color code matching
Full respray and spot repairs

05

Interior & Upholstery

The interior is where you spend every minute behind the wheel — it should look and feel the part. We handle complete interior restorations from factory-correct reproductions to custom premium builds.

Seats, door panels, headliners, carpet, dash pads, and trim are all sourced and installed in-house or with local specialists we personally oversee.

Seat recovering and foam restoration
Door panel rebuilds and armrests
Headliner replacement (cloth, vinyl, suede)
Molded carpet replacement
Dash pad and trim restoration

06

Custom Fabrication

When a part has been out of production for 40 years, most shops tell you they can't help. We go the other direction. Our in-house fabrication capabilities — CNC machining, 3D printing, and laser cutting — mean we can manufacture what no longer exists.

This is one of the clearest advantages of working with a specialist shop. We've invested in the tooling specifically to serve pre-1986 vehicles that have exhausted the aftermarket.

CNC-machined replacement parts to OEM spec
3D-printed prototypes and hard-to-find brackets
Laser-cut panels, templates, and trim pieces
Custom one-off fabrication for show and race builds
Reproduction parts from original samples

07

Reliability Upgrades

A classic car that leaves you stranded is not being enjoyed — it's being worried about. Our reliability packages modernize the systems that fail most often on vintage vehicles, without changing the driving character you love.

These upgrades are especially popular with drivers who want to use their classics regularly without carrying a breakdown kit.

One-wire alternator and charging system upgrade
Modern wiring harness (keeping period appearance)
High-flow cooling system and electric fan
Pertronix or electronic ignition conversion
Fuel system modernization (EFI or carb rebuild)

08

Engine & Drivetrain

From a carb rebuild to a complete engine teardown, we handle the full spectrum of powerplant work on pre-1986 vehicles. Our technicians understand the specific quirks of classic American V8s, inline-sixes, and the period transmissions that back them.

We do not source work out blindly — every job is estimated and approved before it starts, and you're consulted at any decision point that affects scope or cost.

Carburetor rebuilds and tuning
Engine teardown, machine work, and assembly
Manual and automatic transmission rebuild
Differential service and rebuild
Clutch, driveshaft, and U-joint service
