Take a good look at this 67 Chevelle…pretty nice huh? One would assume this beauty would be leaving a restoration shop, not arriving at one...but this is exactly how the 67 appeared when it arrived at MetalWorks Classics in Eugene, Oregon for a radical transformation. You may be a bit confused, as was I when the sharp looking Chevelle arrived,…

Come tag along with us as we take a closer look inside the facility that we feel produces the absolute crown jewel in chassis performance for your classic…
I love telling the story behind classic cars and their owners. Over the years I’ve spun many a tale, and a reoccurring theme I have found is the tendency for classic car owners to hold onto their cars for years…unlike our current era of disposable cars. Bob and Barb Mullins have a pair of classics they have held onto for…
Many car enthusiasts were influenced by automobiles at a very young age, often at an unconscious level…but something left an impression that led to a future obsession. Lucas Lambert has his Grandfather’s car dealership and car collection to blame…or thank for his “need” of automobiles. Lucas recalls of all the cars that came and went, there was always a long…
If you were a lawn mower in Jason Friedman’s neighborhood as a young boy, you would have lived in fear of being torn to pieces by a young man curious of all things mechanical.

Trucks have always been popular, and their presence was very strong at this year's SEMA 2016 show. Here are some that we snapped photos of...which one is your favorite? Trucks are often the work horses of hot rod and restoration shops, and often take on custom features themselves to show off the shop's talent. Other trucks lived hard lives…
Las Vegas was buzzing again for the SEMA 2016 show, and we were on hand taking in all the action. Every year the SEMA show offers up the latest in automotive technologies and products, along with the hottest builds. Here is a recap of some of the builds that stood out to us, or cars that simply grabbed out…
There is no bitter of a rivalry between auto enthusiasts than that of Ford vs Chevy…both sides have dug in their heels, and rarely allow the other an ounce of give or take. When our team at MetalWorks finished the fastback you see before you we had several of their most hardcore Chevy clients stop by, bow their heads, and…
Tri-five Chevys are a corner stone in the world of classic cars, and most enthusiasts have found themselves drooling over one at some point. Now, we could argue until we are blue in the face about which of the 3 years has the best lines…but when it came to Shaun Schroeder’s first classic car…he knew he wanted a 55. With…
The beauty you see gracing these pages was built by MetalWorks as our personal “shop car”…not a bad shop vehicle huh? Before the crew got their hands on the 68, it was an illegal daily driver…ha ha, but we’ll get into that in a bit. The first recorded history of the GTO dates back to the early 80s when Rick,…
