partnering in craftsmanship

Make history with us as we restore this 1961 Corvair for the SEMA Show this Fall. As Minnesota's premier hot rod shop and muscle car restoration facility, we’re always ready to tackle a big restoration. Our next big challenge? Restoring this Corvair into a custom-build hot rod. With your sponsorship help, we’ll showcase our creativity and innovation with this Corvair when the hot rod industry converges at the SEMA Show in November.
