Boats…. You bet. We have fixed several boats over the years. Wanting to freshen up that faded gelcoat or add some custom touches to your boat? We can handle it. Want something completely custom? We would absolutely love to help out and give you something truly custom and unique. This particular boat came in with a couple areas needing some repair. After the repairs were done the customer let us have a lil fun so we called our tape specialist Brandon to come out and we put some classic flames on this Scarab to set it apart from the rest.

This salty lil ChevyII came in with some light hail damage after getting caught out in a storm. We wrote an estimate and argued with insurance alil before we came to an agreement. Well, once we started the repairs we quickly realized this car had some underlying demons. As we started sanding the areas of repair the paint started rolling off like a fruit roll up. By this point we were knee deep in it and nothing to do but take the butt whoopin and fix it correctly so we stopped and stripped the entire car to ensure our paint wouldn’t come off. We removed 2 paint jobs off the car like it was butter except for a couple areas where it was actually stuck good. Moving forward We fixed the damage we created from stripping it as well as the initial damage. Got the whole car in primer, dug out cracked seam sealer and replaced it and painted it Tesla Gray. We camera shot the car as it was 3 different shades of gray to come up with a color. This repair could have been alil better but we took our financial lumps, called it good and moved on as it looked better then when it came in initially and we atleast knew it wasn’t going to fall off now and it’s a sweet looking driver.

Don’t forget we do insurance work on new cars as well, it’s not just classics and exotics around here. We even like boats and RV’s. This new Tundra came in needing a new rear door, cab corner, bedside, rocker repair and misc things replaced after getting side swiped. We got it fixed up body wise following OE repair procedures, seam sealed everything and replaced the rockguard along the bottom for a factory look. Once it was ready for paint we matched up the factory black w/blue pearl for a flawless match and nailed the factory orange peel so you’d never know this had any damage. Owner asked us if we could de-badge it while we had it in so we knocked that out as well to help the murdered out look.

This scout II came in with a lil fender and grille damage from a mishap. We were tasked with fixing it and saving the original sticker so We took the fender off and hammered it as best we could, we got it really close in metal but It still has a slight buckle that we couldn’t fix without damaging the sticker. The grill shell we did the best we could but the metal was starting to tear so we called it good. The lower grill/valance we straightened and visually it looked fine after so we didn’t paint it. We finished everything off with a lil patina match paint job so no one could tell anything even happened. Customer was super happy with how it turned out

Our friend and customer dropped off his Porsche GT3RS and wanted to make it a lil
Different than all the other GT3’s. He left it in my hands and trusted us to do what we thought it needed. We ended up painting 38 different pieces after we got it all tore down. We smoothed the texture out of all the raw plastic pieces and then color matched some and sprayed the rest satin black. We wanted to leave it looking like a factory GT3 should but add a lil more color here and there while being careful not to make it look gaudy. I feel we achieved the look we were going for and made an already super sexy car look a lil more sexy. Now the car is off to get PPF’d and driven.

This Vette came in to the shop about 90% body worked by the owner/builder. We coached him on the steps and the processes involved with body work and fiberglass. Once he felt comfortable with his work he brought us the car and we finished and few things and set all the gaps then we Tore it apart and painted it bright red with a satin black stripe to break up some of the red.

66 Marlin came in for some rust repair and repaint back to the factory color. The car was a factory AZ but had spent some time in Detroit where the current owner had picked it up. Car had some rust bubbling in the lower rockers, per usual we found more rust once we started digging in. After tear down we sent the car off to be blasted down to bare metal so we could address any issues it may have. Over all the car was very solid but had been wreck once in its life. Once it was back We built some lower quarter patches and inner bracing since nothing is available for this car. After metal work was done be put the car in epoxy and started body work. The body work was minimal as the owner wanted a factory original look and not a laser straight car. It was painted the wrong shade of green at some point so we did some research and found the original color/shade and resprayed the whole car back to the original color and 2 tone scheme. During the process We straightened both bumpers as they had been banged up pretty good and sent them off to have them rechromed.

Heres a lil shop update. Sorry we haven’t posted in quite some time. Our shop under went some personnel changes about a 1.5years ago as well as me with personal time changes as far as the classic car side of things. I found myself no longer able to devote the time I was used to in the shop staying caught up due to traveling sports and a desire to be a present parent in my kids lives. Due to both personal and employee personnel changes we got quite a bit behind on work. And honestly I was scared to post any work happening because we had fallen so far behind on multiple projects I didn’t wanna ruffle feathers with customers and deal with it. We made some customers mad and I took some butt chewins because our wait times and turn around times So we gave them their deposits back and some cars back to try and save face as well as dig ourselves out of the hole I had created. We lost some work to other local shops that have more man power than us. But We Kept our heads down and kept chugging along slowly digging ourselves out the hole we found ourselves in. Now we’re almost back to where we can breathe again and keep flowing like we used to. We got a few projects out that I will be posting in the coming weeks and we are back on a stalled project so we can start 2027 fresh. 2026 has been a year of learning to say the least.
