what we do

We specialise in sheet metal fabrication and coach-building using traditional and modern techniques for bespoke projects, as well as the restoration or modification of vintage and classic vehicles.

Our workshop is equipped with a machine shop and fabrication area which allows quality and timescale control over highly specialised and bespoke work. We work with a variety of metals including steel, aluminium, brass and copper. We produce steel and aluminium bodywork for the restoration of vintage and classic cars and motorcycles as well as custom projects.

Steel and aluminium panelling, fabrication of wings and bonnets etc, are all undertaken. Using traditional skills and equipment, any item or shape can be reproduced in any material. From full body shells to smaller repairs, everything can be recreated to as new or better condition.

SPEED

Using 3D scanning technology we can produce a buck for us to work from to start the process.

QUALITY

Using a CNC machined buck we can produce a panel shape that will fit like a glove.

PRECISION

We produce something that is unique to the vehicle that is no longer available or ever produced

our method

3D scanning of area

This enables us to capture the true DNA of the vehicle where blueprints and original bucks are no longer available.

3D scanning of area

CAD drawing

After producing a scan, we are able to correct faults, flaws and damage, creating a true representation of the vehicle.

3D buck

By taking the scan, and reducing it by the thickness of the original metal, we can CNC machine high-density foam or 3D print to create the ultimate buck to work from.

Reverse engineering

If a vehicle has been damaged on one side, we can mirror image by reverse engineering the opposite side to create a new representation of the needed repair.

precision forming

Using our skills, we are able to produce an exact panel or shape to fit the buck that has been produced from it's DNA. The result is something that fits like a glove with a perfect finish ready for paint.
