There are four employees, besides the owner Joe Davis. One is a master metal smith, who with the help of an English wheel, blow torches, rollers, hammers and welders, can make or straighten out about any type of metal on a car, restoring it back to original shape and condition.

There is also a master painter, who has spent most of his life painting high end sports cars and classic cars for several local collections. All of our people are highly trained and experienced with antique and classic cars. The newest car we have ever undertaken is a 1939 Ford Convertible Sedan and the oldest a 1909 Model T Ford. Review the pictures of just a few of the cars we have refurbished and restored.

Mr. Davis has rebuilt numerous engines throughout his career, including the Lincoln V-8, Model A and Model T engines, as well as high performance Model B engines with overhead valve heads such as Miller and Crager.

Personalized attention is what it is all about. Typically there are only two or three cars in progress and we try and stagger the work so we have one car in for mechanical work, another has progressed to the painting stage and yet another is in the finish process involving wiring and upholstery. We have an electronic technician who has had it with Silicon Valley and just loves old cars, who does our electrical and upholstery work.

Weekly reports are sent out to customers either by e-mail or regular mail, if requested. These include many pictures of the week's work, a detailed spread sheet including item by item what work was done, by whom, and how many hours, as well as the dollar costs. Also receipts for any parts or outside services procured. So you will always know at what stage the car is at and be kept abreast of the progress and costs.

This is a turn key operation, but the customer's input and involvement is key to making sure the job is done not only right but the way the customer wants it and when he wants it.
