We custom-build and Restore Vehicles with an uncompromising commitment to Craftsmanship, Design, Purpose, and Quality.
We are Metal-Shaping visionaries and a Full-Service Coachbuilding Shop based an hour west of Chicago in Sycamore, Illinois. Our shop is led by a hand-picked talented crew of Craftsmen surrounded by Specialized Tools and Machines from the past and present. In other words, we can create anything you can dream up – from napkin sketches to prestigious awards, projects both big and small, we’ve got you covered. Services offered: Design & Customization, Metal Restoration / Fabrication / Body Work, Chassis Building & Suspension, Engine Builds, Plating / Finishing, Paint, Upholstery and Final Assembly.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t elaborate on the metal shaping side of things. Most shops have a specialty, something they are best in their field at – metal shaping is that for us. It’s not to say we are not great at our other services, we are, it’s just that we were allured by metal shaping in the beginning as it gave us a leg up in the auto industry. We are, without a doubt, metal shapers through and through. So much so that this passion continues to grow everyday as we’ve become one of the industry leaders. However, this fire is not kept to ourselves. That would be foolish. We believe in spreading the gospel of the metal shaping brotherhood to the masses and found a way to do that by Engineering and Manufacturing our own Metal Shaping Tools. It’s important to say that these tools were created and used by our own crew – they’ve been field-tested and certified. But, the gospel doesn’t stop here – we also offer hands-on workshops that allow us to teach in a smaller, one-on-one class approach.
As the saying goes; “quality work requires quality equipment.” The foundation for our Metal Shaping Tools has been derived from the real-life demands of our shop. This boots on the ground approach has served us and our customers well and has ensured the Highest Quality of Metal Shaping Tools. Leading the charge is our very own TMG-183 Planishing Hammer. Hoops, Dies, Pedestal and Cabinet round out the extensive tool line as other tools are in development. We offer a complete line of professional planishing hammer accessories for vintage Milwaukee, Chicago Pneumatic, Watervliet, and Rams Head hammers.
We offer a rare opportunity to Learn Hands-On Shaping & Fabrication Techniques from World-Class Professionals. These workshops are held right in the middle of our very own Production Metal Shop and are for Hobbyists and Professionals alike. Our Workshops are designed to give you the fundamental skills and are guaranteed to take your Metal Shaping Skills to the next Level.
