Things to remember when choosing a restoration shop.
Be aware of shops that charge "all-inclusive" pricing. If you are quoted a "fixed" price, chances are someone is going to come out short, either money or quality or both. It would be unlikely that the shop working on your car would fix unforeseen problems for free in order to stay within the quoted price.
There are many stories of shops taking a deposit to begin your restoration only to push it in a corner until they can get to it. The problem is that the job was underbid and cannot be finished for that price.
We build and restore cars based on an hourly rate that is billed in true time. Technicians punch time cards on the vehicle they are working on. You will not be charged for anything except time spent on your vehicle, parts and materials. It's that simple!
Ways for our customers to save a little money.

As always do remove any personal items, Classic Muscle Works cannot be responsible for any lost items.
If needed we will remove the windshield or the rear glass but will not be responsible for breakage.
Do you have any cars for sale?
Yes we do (see current projects), we purchase cars from different sources across the country. Each car is assessed then disassembled, loaded on the rotisserie and sent to our blasting facility. This removes all paint, primer, undercoating and rust. We then prime the shell to keep it free of contaminants. We then begin replacing all damaged and rusted panels, panels are fitted and checked for gaps before being welded in place. After the body is repaired we re-prime the shell and paint the bottom of the car. The car is reassembled attaching the doors, subframe, rear end, deck lid and front clip. At this point the vehicle is available as a unpainted " project roller" or work can continue with sanding, blocking, paint, new suspension, brightwork, emblems, etc. These are built to order vehicles.
Do you restore any other vehicles besides 1967-1969 Camaros?
Yes, while 1967-1973 Camaros are our specialty we have experience with General Motors, Ford & Mopar muscle cars from the mid 60's to early 70's. Please feel free to call us to discuss your project vehicle.
