Whether you are looking for a body restoration following a collision, or you just want to improve the look and feel of your vehicle, custom auto body services can make your vehicle truly one-of-a-kind. Of course, in order to create your dream car, truck or bike, you will need to know what services are available. Read on to find out yourself, and get back to daydreaming about how you vehicle will look and feel once we bring your vision to life.
Custom Chassis
A custom chassis is ideal if you have a street rod, muscle car or classic truck. Every custom chassis should be custom built by the shop you are using. You can swap out antiquated factory-level hardware with a chassis that is cutting-edge. Those old suspension systems were never intended to handle the horsepower produced by today’s engines. Now, they do not have to, given that you can get a full redesign with a custom chassis.
Body Modifications
By far the most popular way to modify performance trucks and sports cars is with body kits. In fact, most of the racing vehicles highlighted through popular media outlets are upgraded using these slick kits. That being said, you want to make sure you choose an auto body shop that uses the highest quality adhesives and screws in this custom auto body work. You also want to ensure the paint job you receive matches the rest of your car, unless you are also receiving a custom paint job. Aftermarket modifications, in general, should be handled by trusted professionals.
Wide-Body Conversions
If you want to widen and enhance your vehicle, a wide-body conversion might be the right fit. Most kits used in wide-body conversions can be custom painted to order. Keep in mind that with most shops, you can also request a custom paint job, of which there are many additional options.
Body/Chassis Swaps
Custom auto body work can include a body/chassis swap. With a body/chassis swap, you can swap your classic car, custom body, or truck to a late model chassis and drivetrain. This process is not an easy one, which means that you need to ensure you work with a trusted shop with experience performing Chassis swaps. There are several very intricate steps that need to be taken in order for this process to be successful.
Air Suspension
Many people who drive a custom import, old hot rod, or custom street car want to lower the suspension to the ground with the ability to lift it when they want. Air suspension as part of your custom auto body work can allow you to do this. Just make sure your shop selects the air bag suspension products that work best with your vehicle. A custom air suspension can bring a great deal of attention to your vehicle. If that is your intention, this is a great custom auto body work option.
Body Restoration
You can receive custom body restoration whether you have been in a collision or just want to upgrade the feel of your vehicle. Maybe you feel like the look needs an upgrade. You can accomplish that through a custom body restoration. The ability to restore the body of your vehicle will depend on the car or truck you drive and the shop you use.
If based off of a collision, the right auto body shop can replace any parts that were comprised by the accident or can give you a completely new body that better represents your preferences. Any parts that are replaced should last for years to come, if not decades, provided you use a reputable shop. In addition, you can often find an auto body shop that can give you a custom car body, created to fit your preferences.
