Every Bolt. Every Panel. Every Detail.
A frame-off restoration is the most comprehensive way to restore a classic vehicle. By separating the body from the frame, we gain complete access to every area of the vehicle, allowing us to inspect, repair, restore, and refinish components with a level of detail that isn’t possible through traditional restoration methods.
At Steel Visions, our focus is on restoring the structure, body, craftsmanship, and visual integrity of your vehicle while preserving the character that made it special in the first place.
Our team lives and breathes restoration. With years of hands-on experience, we approach every frame-off project with the skill and care needed to rebuild your vehicle from the ground up the right way.
Every weld, panel, and bolt is handled with meticulous attention to detail. From the chassis to the final finish, we ensure every part of your vehicle meets the highest standards of quality and accuracy.
Restorations meet factory specs or can be tailored with modern upgrades while maintaining the classic look.
A frame-off restoration allows every aspect of the vehicle’s structure and appearance to be addressed properly. By accessing areas that are normally hidden, we can restore the vehicle to a level that simply isn’t possible with surface-level repairs.
Every project begins by carefully documenting and disassembling the vehicle to evaluate its overall condition. This allows us to identify areas that require restoration, repair, or custom fabrication while establishing the foundation for the project.
Once the vehicle is fully disassembled, we review our findings with you and discuss the next steps for the build. Together, we’ll identify restoration needs, explore design ideas, and develop a plan that aligns with your vision.
With the plan approved, we begin restoring the vehicle’s foundation. The frame is cleaned, repaired, and refinished while body panels are repaired, reshaped, aligned, and restored to ensure proper fitment and appearance.
Damaged, rusted, or deteriorated sections are repaired or recreated through custom fabrication when necessary. From structural repairs to handcrafted metalwork, every detail is built with precision and craftsmanship.
Once restoration work is complete, the vehicle receives a high-quality finish tailored to the vision of the project. From custom paint to one-of-one design details, every finish is carefully crafted to bring the build to life.
Every component is carefully reinstalled, aligned, and refined to complete the restoration. Before delivery, the vehicle undergoes a final inspection and detailing process to ensure every detail meets our standards and your expectations.
