The approach

Restomod performance, engineered

A proper restomod is more than an LS swap and a set of wheels. We treat the car as a single engineering program: modern drivetrain, brakes and suspension designed together, with wiring, fuel, cooling, HVAC and interior planned around them so the finished car starts, idles, stops and cruises like a modern vehicle while keeping the character that made you buy it.
