Rotisserie Restoration:
A Rotisserie restoration is used commonly when restoring vehicles that are designed with a unibody as opposed to a full frame. Many vehicles of the muscle car era were built with a unibody structure. When performing a rotisserie restoration of the vehicle, the restorer will remove the front sub-frame and rear differential. All glass and body panels are also removed. The restorer will then mount the unibody onto a "rotisserie" device. The device is basically a jig that holds the vehicle stable while the work is being completed. Once work is completed, the fully restored section is removed from the rotisserie and the vehicle is re-assembled. Thus the finished product is a "Rotisserie Restored" vehicle.
Custom Metalwork and Fabrication:
Custom metalwork and fabrication is needed when you can't buy parts for the vehicle you are trying to restore. Before the days of searching the internet for replicas of your part, or spending hours exploring junk yards hunting for parts cars there were blacksmiths. You would go to a blacksmith when you needed new metal shaped and fabricated. Here at Ozark Mountain Classics we can fabricate impossible to find parts such as floor pans, trunk pans, brackets, mounts, and patch panels.
Bodywork & Sheet Metal Straightening:
Back in the day lead was used to straighten sheet metal to prepare it to paint. Now days, lead is just way too hazardous to deal with and doesn't last like some of the new fillers on the market. We use a combination of fiberglass reinforced filler and high quality polyester body fillers for finishing out minor blemishes. These have excellent durability and adhesion properties that help produce the best surface for subsequent layers of primer and paint. Here is what we don't do.
Mechanical Restoration:
Here at Ozark Mountain Classics we enjoy breathing life back into an old drivetrain or putting it to rest and replacing with a new crate motor. Whatever you budget affords we can get the job done. We go over your vehicle with a fine tooth comb and make note of any wear, defects, or aged parts which may cause a problem in the future. We repair or replace as necessary to keep you cruising down the road.
