Founder · Master Restorer
Elias Marchetti
Third-generation coachbuilder, apprenticed at a panel bench at sixteen. Thirty years on, he still shapes every wing by hand and signs every archive himself.
Classic Auto Restoration & Detailing
Some machines deserve a second life.
Ground-up restorations to concours standard. Every step documented. Every detail earned.
The Work
One shop. The whole resurrection.
From recovery to concours lawn — under one roof, by one crew.
- 01
Ground-Up Restoration
Body-off, nut-and-bolt. The car leaves as it left the factory — or better.
- 02
Mechanical Revival
Engines, gearboxes, brakes. Rebuilt to spec, run in, and proven.
- 03
Paint & Coachwork
Metal made honest, then color laid down the old way — coat by coat.
- 04
Interior & Trim
Leather, wool, veneer, brass. Cut, stitched, and fitted by hand.
- 05
Concours Preparation
Museum-grade finishing for the lawn, the rally, or the long-awaited drive.
- 06
The Archive
Every hour photographed, logged, and bound. Your car's history, continued.
The Build Log
Watch one come back.
Five chapters of a single commission — scroll at your own pace.
The Standard
Done right, once.
We restore a car the way it was built — slowly, precisely, and in the correct order. If a part can be saved, we save it. If it can't, we make it.
The Process
Slow is deliberate.
Five stages. No surprises. Rest on one to see it.
The Detailing Studio
For the cars you drive.
Concours discipline, applied to the daily.
The Wash
from $450
Hand wash, full decontamination, sealant, interior reset.
The Correction
from $1,200
Single-stage paint correction, wheels off, engine bay dressed.
Concours Prep
from $2,800
Multi-stage correction, ceramic protection, interior to show standard.

The Hands
The masters behind the marque.
Every commission passes through the same two pairs of hands — and never leaves the building.
Master Trimmer · Interior & Coachtrim
June Okafor
Cuts, stitches, and fits every hide to the original patterns — the way the factories trimmed them in 1965, one seat at a time.
The Archive
Documented, every step.
Your car leaves with a bound record — every photograph, part number, and hour. Provenance isn't found. It's kept.
