The Builds
A look at some of the work that's come through the shop.
Every Build Tells a Story
From ground-up customs and frame-off restorations to air suspension installs and one-off metalwork — here's a look at what we've built. Photos coming soon for each project.
1937 Ford Pickup
A ground-up custom build on the iconic '37 Ford pickup. Every inch of this truck was touched . From custom chassis, modern drivetrain, hand-fabricated metalwork, and a finish built to turn heads.
1971 Chevrolet Blazer
A full custom treatment on a first-gen K5 Blazer. Built to be driven hard and look the part. Custom suspension, drivetrain upgrades, bodywork, and a purposeful finish.
1968 Ford Mustang
A Coyote powered Mustang built the right way. A proper custom with fabricated components, modern performance, and bodywork done to show standards.
1969 GMC 4x4
A monster build on a '69 GMC 4x4 — packing a 1,000hp blown big block under a tilt front end that opens at the touch of a button. The automated tilting nose is fully fabricated in-house, giving clean access to every inch of that engine bay while turning heads before the hood is even all the way up.
1955 Ford Crown Victoria
A partial restoration on one of Ford's most distinctive post-war designs. Period-correct details throughout, with mechanical and cosmetic work done to a high standard. This car features a new low milage drivetrain, new wiring harness from front to back, as well as a ton of cosmetic and mechanical upgrades..
1969 GMC 4x4
A full restoration on a classic '69 GMC — stripped down, rebuilt right, and finished to last. Mechanical refresh, bodywork, and paint all done in-house.
1956 Chevrolet
Extensive metalwork and a full paint job on a '56 Chevy. Panels straightened, rust addressed, and finished with a coat that does the car justice.
1999 Chevrolet C3500
A C3500 dually built to lay frame and mean it. Slam Specialties airbags at all four corners with Accuair management, custom control arms up front, and a custom rear 4-link to keep everything tracking right when it's in the weeds. All the management, plumbing, and compressor tucked cleanly out of sight under the bed — slammed, functional, and finished right.
1964 Impala Wagon
Air suspension on a '64 Impala wagon built to lay frame. Running Accuair management with Slam Specialties bags at all four corners, and a custom fabricated Y-bar in the rear to keep everything tracking right when it's in the weeds.
1931 Ford Model A
A '31 Ford Model A built to turn heads and back it up. Powered by a 2.7L EcoBoost swap, it's got modern grunt wrapped in classic sheet metal. Inside, the custom sheet metal interior is finished with Dakota Digital gauges, and it rolls on 22" wheels.
1963 Fargo
A rare Canadian-market '63 Fargo built to command attention. Sitting on 12" of air suspension travel controlled by an Accuair system, it rides up and lays down at the push of a button. Under the hood is a 12-valve Cummins diesel swap, and it rolls on 20" wheels wrapped in aggressive rubber. Every inch of this build was done in-house.
1965 Lincoln Continental
A Continental is already a statement — air suspension makes it a proper one. Full Air Lift system install on this iconic suicide-door Lincoln, engineered to lay right down and ride smooth.
1971 Triumph Spitfire
A show-stopping custom paint job on a '71 Triumph Spitfire. Laid down in Candy Tangerine with bold black accent stripes running the length of the body.
1987 Chevrolet Suburban
A square-body '87 Suburban with some serious custom metalwork. The rear doors were converted to suicide-style, with door handles relocated and completely hidden. In their place, 3D printed door buttons with integrated microswitches trigger the latches — clean, seamless, and totally custom. The kind of detail you don't notice until someone points it out, and then you can't stop looking at it.
1997 Chevrolet S10
A '97 S10 finished in deep teal with tribal flame graphics fading through the body. Bodywork prepped and painted in-house to a finish that reflects like glass.
Divco Delivery Van
A vintage Divco delivery van fitted with a full Accuair air suspension system — and it lays frame like it means it. Custom fab work to make the install fit the unique platform, four-corner management, and a stance that turns every parking lot into a show. One of the most unique builds to come through the shop.
1997 GMC Sierra
A clean OBS Sierra finished in a two-tone silver and vivid blue — body in silver with the upper cab, roof, and bed rails popping in a bold electric blue. Colour matched bed liner in the box ties it all together. Bodywork done right before a drop of paint touched it, and it shows. Sitting on chrome five-spoke wheels, this truck is show-ready from every angle.
1961 Ford Thunderbird
One of the wildest builds to come through the shop. This '61 Thunderbird got the full kustom treatment — roof chop, Slam Specialties air suspension with four-corner management, custom 4-link rear, and a stunning matte mint custom paint job with a teal flake roof. It lays on the ground, rides on whitewall tires, and turns every head in the room.
1997 Chevrolet Silverado
A deep maroon OBS Silverado built to slam. Accuair air suspension with four-corner management lays it flat, custom paint with a colour matched bedliner in the box, and 22" US Mag wheels wrapped in low-profile rubber. Clean, slammed, and show-ready — this truck turns heads every time it pulls in.
1954 Chevrolet Chassis
A fully custom chassis built from Porterbuilt components for a '54 Chevy truck. Fully dressed with LS engine, transmission, custom driveshaft and suspension. Slam Specialties air bags at all four corners, custom crossmembers, and fabricated mounts throughout. This is the foundation that everything else gets built on top of, and it's built right.
Lowered Vehicles
A running collection of vehicles we've lowered — spindles, drop springs, C-notches, and custom suspension work across a wide range of makes and models. Every one of them sits better than it did when it came in.
Miscellaneous Metalwork
Not every job fits neatly into a category. This album covers the one-off brackets, custom panels, repair work, and fabrication projects that come through the shop — the kind of work that keeps a build moving forward.
Miscellaneous Mechanical — Shop Album
A collection of mechanical work from across the shop — engine refreshes, drivetrain repairs, brake jobs, and the kind of under-the-hood work that keeps classics on the road and running right.
Custom Motorcycle Paint
Two wheels get the same attention as four. This album showcases custom paint work on motorcycles — tanks, fenders, and full bikes finished with the same prep, detail, and quality we bring to every car that comes through the shop.
