Frame-Off Restorations

There are a few traditional ways to restore an automobile - one is the "right way" any other way will require doing it a second time; the right way...

By taking the body off the frame- you can address all the issues you don't see - rust and wear. If you are serious about restoration you will do it once, and do it right the first time.

Media blast the sub-frame, exterior body and underside - this will reveal any defects. Prevent future rust paint the sub-frame with POR-15. Now is the time to replace body bushings and mounts for a safe smooth ride.

The key to great restoration is being able to work every surface of the car comfortably - this is where the rotisserie is absolutely necessary. At Long Island's premier auto restoration shop it allows for painting areas of the car which typically are overlooked.
