StatusComplete & Delivered

A complete ground-up custom restomod — slammed on a fully custom coilover suspension, Torq-Thrust alloys, and twin exhaust tips. Every panel mirror-finished in deep candy red.

The thumbnail strip shows the rear quarter with chrome taillights, the spray-lined red bed with coilovers, and the hand-stitched cognac leather interior with period gauges. Even the subframe is finished to show standard.

A great running, driving and solidly-built vehicle that we can be proud of is our shared goal. Pride of workmanship, words to live by.— Napa Valley Restorations

The thumbnail strip shows the complete arc — the finished rear star and canvas top detail, the stripped exterior body sourced from the field, and the bare interior tub before restoration began.

Every panel addressed, canvas top rebuilt to spec, all US Army markings restored, drivetrain and axles fully rebuilt. A rolling piece of American military history.

Joel helped me meet a challenge my dad said I’d never manage. I drove it right up to his house. He was speechless.— Erin Martin, St. Helena

Location509 Wall Rd, Napa CA

Original orange-and-cream paint under decades of dust, VW roundel intact, interior untouched. The thumbnail strip shows the shop with multiple active projects and a sourcing field trip — this is how every great restoration begins.

Now in the shop awaiting a full frame-off restoration. Every panel addressed, drivetrain rebuilt, split-window body returned to its original glory.

Joel restored my 1960 VW 23-window bus down to the last detail. We are losing craftsmen, and along with them we are losing our humanity.— Dick Grace, Grace Family Vineyards
