Massive, amazing, and diverse is a good way to sum up SEMA. At MetalWorks we stay on the cutting edge of technology for your classic car, and attending SEMA plays a big roll in doing that.

Bonneville is hallowed ground for hot rodders, and we finally got the opportunity to hit the salt for ourselves. Attending for the first time is similar to hitting Las Vegas for the first time...it's a visual overload. We had a blast, and snapped a few pics to share...we hope you enjoy them. …

We had the honor of displaying our 1955 Chevy and 1968 Camaro ProTouring builds that the 61st annual Portland Roadster Show. If you were able to attend the show you were in for a real treat, if not, you can still get a taste of the event from a handful of images we snapped while wondering the show plex. …
The bone stock, survivor, Willys coupe you see before you could weaken the knees of nearly every hot rodder on planet earth. Willys coupes dominated the Gasser Wars of the late 1950s and early 60s. The coupe’s small, light weight bodies made for perfect drag cars, and the vast majority were converted into nose high, straight axle, drag strip warriors.…

Lincoln Continentals have always been popular cars due to their long sexy lines, luxurious ride and amenities, and don’t forget about those amazing looking suicide doors. At MetalWorks we had the privilege of building a heavily customized 65 Continental for a customer, and Paul Barnes took note of the build on our website. After watching the process unfold online and…
