Every trade a world-class build needs, under one roof in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma — metal, bodywork, paint, drivetrain, chassis, interior, electrical

Under One Roof Eight trades No hand-offs Broken Arrow, Okla. Why it all happens here

Every shop that touches your car is another shop that can blame the last one.

Farming out a stage means the car ships, waits in somebody else’s lot, and comes back on their schedule and to their standard. Keeping every trade here means the person who cut the patch panel is still in the building when it comes time to lay color over it — most questions on a build get answered by walking twenty feet and asking.

Eight trades on one floor means there is nobody to point at.
The whole argument for one roof
What leaves the building

Nothing

Until it is finished, and then only once — down the road, under its own power, with somebody from the crew in the passenger seat.

The eight trades

The eight trades
  • 01

    Frame-Off Restoration

    A complete teardown. Every part that comes off the car is labeled, cataloged, and stored — so what goes back on is what came off, not the closest thing we could source.

  • 02

    Metal Fabrication

    Rust repair, panel replacement, and patch panels cut and formed here rather than ordered in. Floor pans through to a complete body shell.

  • 03

    Bodywork

    Metal worked true so there is barely any filler over it, panel gaps set by hand, then the whole body blocked flat. Straight panels are what let a car show its curves instead of hiding them.

  • 04

    Paint

    Color matched to what exists or mixed to what doesn’t — if you can picture it, we can put it on the car. Then laid and finished until the reflection holds. Airbrush murals, pinstripes, and everything in between.

  • 05

    Engine & Drivetrain

    Freshen what is already in the car, or swap in a Coyote, LS, or Hemi. EFI conversions, disc brakes, and the rest of what a modern drivetrain needs to live under an old hood.

  • 06

    Chassis & Suspension

    Custom frames ordered in, and the ride height taken wherever you want it — up or down. Suspension lifts, C-notches, air ride, and the fitment dialed in to match.

  • 07

    Interior & Upholstery

    Factory-correct replacements through to full custom. Going from a bench to buckets with a console between them is a design job before it is a trim job — we draw it before anything gets cut.

  • 08

    Climate Control & Electrical

    Looking cool is one thing; being cool is another. New A/C throughout, with vents cut and fitted so it works the way the factory never quite managed. Full wiring harnesses, or diagnosing the original loom — either way the car comes out in a new era.
