Services: The following list of services should not be considered absolute.  We are always open to suggestion.

Restoration Categories:

Transportation: Pre 1974, Muscle Cars, Trucks, Hot Rods, Bikes, Aircraft, Boats.

The emphasis on Cars, Trucks & Boats will be complete restorations to Custom built Hot Rods, Roadsters & Bikes.

The emphasis on aircraft will be more toward building Experimental and Replica aircraft or Museum Restorations.  Restoration efforts on Classic certificated aircraft will be directed primarily to the restoration and covering of assemblies, i.e. wings, fuselage, tail feathers that the customer will then assemble at their location.   

Equipment: Tractors, Farm equipment, Crawlers, hit & miss Engines.

Vending: Gas Pumps, Soda Pop machines, Candy Machines, Juke Boxes.

Signs: Touch-up, Paint, Repair (depends on extent of damage and type of finish)

           Reproduction (depends on good reproducible art work, pictures, info, etc.)

 Movie Work:  We have a collection of vintage memorabilia, which is just what the studio ordered when it comes to a period type production.

Gas Pumps:  Approximately 36, mostly collected in pairs and range from 1917 to 1960.  These are mostly in original rusty condition, but we can redo them to meet the demands of the script.

Soda Pop Boxes:  Approximately 60, Upright and Chest in several different brands and range from 1930 to 1970.  All are in original condition, but if the script calls for one to look new, we can make it so.

Signs:  Approximately 100 ranging from 1930 to 1970.  They consist of gas & oil to soda pop, tobacco and other products.

Sets: We have enough pumps and signs to set several different brands of gas station.

We can set a barbershop with vintage chairs and barber pole.  A burger joint, Soda Shop or we can supply a Fire Station with an antique Fire Truck.

Transportation:  As stated before, we can restore or build cars, hot rods, and roadsters.  We can build aircraft for static display or flying.  Or we can build sections (i.e. nose section for cockpit scenes)

Rates and Billing:  Our present shop rate for most building and restoration needs is $45.00 an hour for cars, trucks, bikes, boats, experimental and classic rag wing aircraft.  $65.00 an hour for War birds also known as heavy Metal Aircraft.  These rates are subject to change without notice.  These rates can go higher depending on the type and complexity of service. (I.e. media blasting or a machinist may cost as much as $80.00 an hour)

Building or restoration of transportation are long term projects.  (Two months or more) As such they will be billed on a monthly basis and payment is due upon receipt.  Twenty percent of estimated labor and one hundred percent of the start-up materials are due at the beginning of the project.

Estimates are exactly what they are, ESTIMATES.  They should be used for planning only as they are not ironclad.  Most estimates go over for various reasons.  (I.e. vehicle wasn’t complete or it was in worse shape than customer described and most commonly, customer add-ons.)
