Summer Highlights

It’s been a crazy summer. With dozens of projects in the shop right now, we’re working harder than ever before. With Fall’s arrival, that won’t change. But we do want to take this opportunity to look back at a few of our favorite projects from the summer that we think you’ll love too. Here are our top 3 projects from…

MetalWorks built 1955 Chevy truck on an Art Morrison chassis.

Our latest build is this beautiful 1955 Chevy truck that utilizes an Art Morrison chassis. The crew at the shop really enjoyed the build as well as collaborating with the owner Ward Johnson.  I asked Ward for some history on himself and his thoughts behind having the truck restored, and he sent back a great reply, so I'm just going…

MetalWorks 1970 Chevy Z28 Camaro

Having heard the stories of many classic car enthusiasts over the years, I find there are some common themes.  The most consistent is stories about glory days from high school, the cool cars and unforgettable times with friends.  Perhaps it’s due to being highly influenced in our youth, or the heightened need to be “cool” and fit in but one…

Ron’s 1972 custom Chevy Cheyenne 4×4

Most of us have a classic car that we have dreamed of owning, but due to circumstances the opportunity has never presented itself.  With luck and time many dreams can become reality if we are patient enough…such was the case with Ron Braxling, and his dream of owning a 1972 Chevy Cheyenne 20 Super truck.  Ron had always been drawn…

MetalWorks 1968 ProTouring Camaro build.

We finished up our 1968 ProTouring Camaro build, and put together a little video.  We hope you enjoy it.   Our camaro build sits on Forgeline wheels with Baer brakes.  Power comes in the form of a 427ci LS3 backed by a TREMEC 6spd.  TMI supplied the interior with gauges by Dakota Digital.  The impressive ride control is due to…

Jerry’s 1967 Chevelle transformed from Street Car to ProTouring

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,…

Bob and Barb Mullin’s 1957 Chevy restoration by MetalWorks

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…

MetalWorks Pro Touring 1955 Chevy build

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…
