What We Offer
Frame-Off Restorations
A true frame-off restoration means complete disassembly down to the bare frame, with every component restored, repaired, or replaced. It's the standard Wylie collectors ask for when nothing less than concours quality will do.
Period-Correct Finishing
We research the factory-original colors, materials, and techniques, then finish the car exactly as it left the line. For Wylie collectors, authenticity is what protects and grows a classic's value.
Classic & Muscle Cars
We take on classic and muscle car restorations for Wylie enthusiasts — recent work includes a customer's Mustang Shelby GT500 replica ("Eleanor") that needed a custom carbon-fiber hood and quarter-panel repair.
Our Process
Here's how the work actually unfolds once your vehicle is in our Garland shop, step by step.
Assessment & Planning
Every project starts with full documentation, research into the factory-original specs, and a plan tailored to your restoration goals.
Disassembly
Careful removal and cataloging of all components. For frame-off restorations, the body is separated from the chassis.
Metalwork & Paint
This stage covers rust repair, panel fabrication, and bodywork, finished with period-correct or custom paint applied in our spray booth.
Reassembly & Detail
The vehicle is reassembled with precision, detailed thoroughly, and inspected for quality before it's delivered show-ready or driver-ready.

Auto Restoration FAQ for Wylie Drivers
What types of cars do you restore?
We take on classic and muscle car restorations for Wylie owners, from partial refinishing to full frame-off rebuilds. One recent example: a customer's Mustang Shelby GT500 replica ("Eleanor," from Gone in 60 Seconds) came in for a custom carbon-fiber hood and quarter-panel repair after we caught body work from a previous shop that needed correcting.
How long does a full restoration take?
Timelines vary widely depending on the vehicle's condition and the scope of the build - a partial restoration moves faster than a full frame-off, rotisserie project. We'll map out a specific timeline during your assessment and planning stage.
Do you do partial restorations?
Yes. Not every project needs a full frame-off rebuild - we tailor the scope to your goals, from a driver-quality partial restoration to a full concours-level, ground-up build.
Can you source hard-to-find parts?
Sourcing correct or correct-style components is part of our restoration process for classic and muscle cars, so Wylie owners don't have to hunt down parts themselves.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes — all of our paint and bodywork, including restoration work performed for Wylie customers, is backed by a 5-year paint warranty.
Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?
No. In Texas, you have the right to choose your own repair shop — your insurance company cannot require you to use one of their recommended shops.
