What all is involved when you Body Swap a car?

I think most of us understand that when you perform a body swap on a classic car or truck you are pulling the body off the factory chassis and setting it on a new aftermarket chassis. Is it as simple as that? Let’s dive in and see what all is exactly involved. Here is our […]

They took my money and never worked on my car for 3 years!!!

At MetalWorks, we sometimes feel like an orphanage for car builds due to the number of unfinished projects that we have taken in over the years. Each of these cars has come with a horror story of how the shop restoring the car was taking payment, but not actually working on the vehicle, or working […]

It’s always cool to hear about families that purchased a “classic car” when it was new, and still have it.

We will save the story for an upcoming magazine feature, but we will tell […]

ProTouring 1957 Chevy Truck

“Can you make my classic car preform like my modern car?” That is a question that is often asked by people wanting their cars to perform with better ride quality, handling, acceleration, and braking. Getting a truck to handle more like a car has been a goal of many since trucks became collectable. So now […]

ProTouring 1954 Chevy Truck

Typically 2WD trucks have gone down, and I mean really down with their stance. Many builders are not content with […]
