    Jim Bell
    Customer, '69 Corvette

    “I bought the car brand new and never thought I’d have it this long…I wanted to get it fixed up like it originally looked when I bought it and Modern Carriage is the place to go for that. I feel like I”m 23, except that I’m 70 now.”

    Mike Filliping
    Customer, '71 Camaro

    “I came here and had all the work done. It got into the magazine in ’07. Once you see the car, it looks as good now as the day it was painted.”

    Billy Hoth
    PPG Distributor

    “I’ve been a paint technician for 20+ years. I’ve never met an owner who has invested so much time and money into his business. It’s something that you just don’t see; he cares more about what he lets out of these doors than anybody I’ve ever dealt with. It’s a family business, his kids are involved, and the best thing is they’re skilled people.”

METAL FABRICATION

Working with metal is an artform. We take this craft back to its roots and create new panels out of sheet metal or fiberglass to either replace or change existing ones.

Possessing the knowledge and all the right tools grants us the ability to do anything from fabricating a patch for a small rust hole to completely transforming a ’57 Chevy pedal car into the shape of a ’78 Malibu

Creative Process

Restoring a vehicle demands vision, collaboration and passion.
Together, we’ll bring your dream car to life in three easy steps!

1. DEFINE THE BUDGET

Knowing the threshold of your project budget enables everyone to think within the same realm. We can provide you with options and cost estimations once we know which ball park we’re playing in. Once your budget has been defined, it’s time to start creating your dream car!

2. CREATE A SHARED VISION FOR THE FINAL PRODUCT

Ideas come to life through creative collaboration, conversations, and the research we do for our customers. We can help you hone your wish list all the way down to the finest details. This is when the fun really begins because this is where ideas take shape and become a shared vision for what’s to come.

3. BUILDING YOUR CUSTOM CAR

We collaborate with our customers throughout the entire process. Our shop is an open-house and we strongly encourage your involvement at every stage. Customers are encouraged to stop in, email, text, or call regularly during the process. With a little time and patience, it won’t be long until you’re getting behind the wheel of your new, custom-built ride for the very first time! And when you look back years later, you’ll have the satisfaction of remembering how it all came together.
