Inspections

Inspection services are available for nearly any make and model and are often recommended by us when assessing a potential restoration project. While we do not showcase them, our team regularly inspects a variety of classic vehicles that are brought to our workshop. Unless there is a unique need for specific services, our inspection report will provide information on / include:

• exterior visuals, such as condition of:
  • paint and body filler, with thickness
  • chrome and aluminum trim
  • glass
  • body rubbers / seals
  • body lines / gaps
  • undercarriage, with focus on rust and structural solidity / originality
  • suspension components
• interior visuals, such as condition of:
  • dashboard
  • headliner
  • seats
  • carpet
  • engine compartment
  • trunk
• VIN confirmation, in rail-stamped form as well as on plates
• operation from cold start, driving, down-shifting, and braking performance
• engine and cylinder compression
• approximately 100 high-resolution photos of all areas, details of specific interest, imperfections, and books / manuals / service records

While most inspections are brought to us, we are happy to coordinate an on-location visit for your project.
