A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Classic Car Restoration

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Classic Car Restoration

Mid West Classics & Customs in Ottawa, OH invites you to take a behind-the-scenes look at classic car restoration, where craftsmanship meets passion. From disassembly to the final polish, every project reflects our dedication to reviving vintage vehicles.

Every Restoration Journey Begins with Careful Disassembly

At Mid West Classics & Customs, each restoration begins with methodical disassembly. Every bolt, panel, and component comes off with precision. This step ensures full access to the frame and undercarriage, allowing our team to assess the vehicle’s condition and plan the restoration accurately.

Sheet Metal and Frame Repairs Bring the Body Back to Life

Once disassembled, we repair or replace worn and damaged parts. Rusted panels, bent frames, and corroded components require expert attention. Our team fabricates replacement panels and straightens chassis sections to bring the car back to its original structural integrity. Restoration starts with a solid foundation.

Engine, Transmission, and Suspension Systems Get Rebuilt

Under the hood, the engine and drivetrain go through a full overhaul. We rebuild or replace engines, restore transmissions, and upgrade suspensions while maintaining the car’s original feel. Every component is cleaned, repaired, or replaced to ensure it runs like it did decades ago—or better.

Custom Paint and Detailing Showcase the Final Transformation

After mechanical work and body repair, we begin paint preparation. Our paint team uses modern materials and vintage color matches to produce flawless results. From undercoats to clear finishes, every step enhances the vehicle’s lines. Finally, we add emblems, badges, chrome trim, and final touches.
