Why Iron Auto Works
Quality Work. No Shortcuts.
Old School and New
We know carburetors, points and distributors, and we have the scan tools for newer cars too. Old or new, we can fix it.
Real Metal Work
If there’s rust, we cut it out and weld in new steel. We don’t cover it up with filler.
Straight Answers
You’ll get a clear estimate and photos of what we find. If something else comes up, we call you before we touch it.
We Stand Behind It
We’d rather do a job once and do it right. Our name goes on every car that leaves the shop.
Restoration
Bringing Good Iron Back to Life.
A good restoration starts at the frame. We take the car all the way down, fix or replace whatever needs it, and build it back up so it’s solid and straight.
- Frame-off and body-off restorations
- Rust repair, patch panels, floor pans and quarter panels
- Chassis, suspension and drivetrain rebuilds
- Body work and paint prep
- Partial restorations and unfinished projects
How a build works
- Look it over. We go through the car with you and talk about what you want and what you’d like to spend.
- Plan. You get a written estimate, broken into stages.
- Build. We send updates and photos as the work goes.
- Pick it up. We walk through everything with you and take it for a drive before it goes home.
