— On the work

A car is a vehicle of memory
and ambition.

Restored or built anew, it should carry both forward. Our workshop takes commissions for a small number of automobiles each year — American muscle, working trucks, European classics — and treats each one with the same standard of attention.

Hand work. Documented decisions. The time required to do it well, and not a week less. The work that comes out of this shop is not made for the gallery — it is made to be driven by the person who imagined it, and to last a generation in their family.

— The workshop

A place where decisions
are made by hand.

Every commission begins with a conversation — about the car you have in mind, the way you intend to use it, and the proportions of effort that suit the result. From that first conversation, every decision is documented and visible. You see the car at every stage. You sign off on the choices that shape it.

When it’s finished, what you have is not just a finished car. It is a record of how it came to be — and a relationship with the workshop that built it.

— Commission a build

Built once.
Built right.

A commission begins with a conversation. Tell us about the automobile you have in mind, and the result you have in mind for it.
