Engine Swaps
Complete powertrain conversions that give classic cars and trucks the power, confidence, and road manners to become the vehicles their owners have always imagined.
Custom Metal Fabrication
One-off brackets, panels, floors, firewalls, tubs, repairs, and purpose-built components that turn an idea no catalog can supply into a clean, lasting solution.
Restomod Upgrades
Brake, steering, suspension, driveline, cooling, and electrical upgrades that preserve the character you love while making every drive easier to trust and enjoy.
Chassis & Custom Exhaust
Chassis correction, reinforcement, mounts, crossmembers, and hand-built exhaust that give the finished vehicle the stance, sound, clearance, and confidence it deserves.

Troubleshooting, repair, maintenance, and repower planning for select marine engines—focused on restoring the confidence to launch, cruise, fish, and make the day count.

Structural fiberglass and cosmetic repair for hulls, laminate, transoms, decks, and gelcoat—protecting the boat, the memories already made, and the seasons still ahead.
Marine Fabrication
Purpose-built brackets, mounts, supports, access solutions, and custom components that make time on the water easier, cleaner, and better suited to how you use the boat.
