Fabrication & Restoration

True metal restoration

We dismantle vintage truck cabs down to bare rails, replacing rusted sheet metal with hand-formed 18-gauge steel built for generations of highway use.

Core Capabilities

Four shop tracks

Stage 01

Rotisserie frame teardown

Every project begins with a complete bolt-by-bolt disassembly. Chassis rails undergo high-pressure media blasting, magnetic particle crack inspection, and epoxy prime sealing before fabrication begins.

Stage 02

Hand-formed sheet metal

We hand-hammer cab corners, floor pans, rocker channels, and complex cowl curves on English wheels and pullmax machines. Rotted sections are surgically excised, never covered with body filler.

Stage 03

Precision structural welding

Our structural welds and butt-joined exterior skins receive controlled TIG passes with matched filler rod. Seams are hammered, planished flat, and dressed down so structural integrity matches factory tolerances.

Stage 04

Modern road gear

We integrate upgraded dual-circuit disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, modern wiring harnesses, and reliable suspension geometry designed specifically for dependable high-altitude highway hauling.

Fabrication and fitment

Highway shakedown

Panels are media blasted with walnut shell or fine garnet. Corroded sections are plasma cut back to virgin sheet metal to prepare clean weld seams.

Assembled trucks complete five hundred miles of real mountain passes and highway testing in Northern Utah to verify suspension alignment, cooling, and brake bite.

We gauge metal thickness across high-stress zones, map hidden rot behind structural pillars, and catalog missing trim before producing a written metalwork scope.

Fresh 18-gauge panels are shaped, aligned to factory gaps, and welded with continuous planished beads before primer sealing and trial cab assembly.
