    The Build Process

    Transparency, communication, and uncompromising standards at every step.

    01

    Consultation & Vision

    Every great build starts with a conversation. We discuss your goals, budget, intended use (show, track, street), and design preferences. We establish a clear vision before a single tool is touched.

    02

    Planning & Design

    We develop a comprehensive build plan, working through the design, chassis, and components to match the vision. This phase ensures the design is solidified and the fabrication work is planned before metal is cut.

    03

    Fabrication

    The foundation of the build. We strip the vehicle to bare metal, repair any compromise, shape custom panels, modify the chassis, and perform all structural welding with uncompromising precision.

    04

    Body & Finish

    Hours are spent block sanding to achieve straight panels and consistent fit. The bodywork is finished to the standard our craftsmanship is known for, with attention to every panel and gap.

    05

    Final Details

    Careful, meticulous reassembly. Every component is fitted and finished, and the vehicle begins to look like a finished product. This is where fit and finish come together.

    06

    Delivery

    We don't just hand over the keys. The vehicle is reviewed against our standards before it is delivered to you. Only when it meets our exact standards is it released.
