Restoration
Founded upon Detroit’s rich manufacturing legacy, we draw inspiration from generations of experienced custom car and coach builders in Detroit. While we excel in partial restoration projects, our bread and butter lies in full-blown high-end automotive restorations.
Our dedicated craftsmen are driven by a passion for preserving each vehicle’s heritage and authenticity while integrating modern techniques and materials to elevate its performance, reliability, and aesthetics. We document every step of the process to tell your vehicle’s story and relay its historical significance.
Whether it’s a pre-war icon, a 60’s Italian sports car, or a timeless vintage automobile, we have the skills and expertise to bring any automotive vision to life and let each car lead its own journey.

With our mastery of metal shaping, we specialize in creating custom car builds.
We pride ourselves on the skill level and versatility required to create turnkey custom vehicles. Building automotives from scratch offers us opportunities for creativity and encourages us to continuously refine our craft.
Throughout the years, our established relationships with OEM designers have allowed us to expand our custom builds beyond traditional hot rods to encompass a diverse range of vehicles.

At Detroit Metal Shaping Company, quality is our top priority. We utilize the latest technologies, such as 3D scanning and CAD Design software to ensure precision and accuracy in every project, taking customization to the next level.
In addition to developing hot rod parts for the public, we also partner with other restoration shops to create and supply reproduction parts of the highest caliber.
Some of the small parts we’ve created include:

Redefining CraftsmanshipPioneering AUTOMOTIVE Prototypes
Based in Detroit, we’re strategically positioned to compete for OEM prototype work. Our business fills a need that allows us to offer OEM companies prototype panels with all the fine detailing of prototype stampings without the extensive costs and time delays of machining stamping dies.
Being awarded these projects has amplified our distinctiveness, enabling us to draw inspiration from the designer’s creativity and artistry, and solidifying our position as a premier metal shaping shop.
Prototype projects are secretive in nature and out of the public eye, which enables us to delve deeply into the process, focusing on the journey, rather than just the outcome. This pursuit fuels our motivation and allows us to continually perfect our craft and introduce new methods and designs into what we do.
Additionally, the knowledge and experience gained working with OEM designers has allowed us to offer OEM design support to our clients.
