CUSTOM & RESTORATIONS

Custom work is something special.  And sometimes, it's hard to get the original parts.  At T.R.I.X., our dealer relationships allow us access to a variety of stock parts, but when the originals can't be found - we fabricate the needed items on site! With a combination of expertise and experience, Ted Walters Jr. can show you how the quality workmanship of the past can still be delivered today.

The blue 1971 Datsun Z has a 350 Chevy motor with aluminum heads.  It's fast.  Our customer wants hand formed fenders and quarter panels to complete the look. You can't get this type of customization work just anywhere. See  below for more details about this custom project!

The white and black 1971 big block Chevelle is being restored to exact stock specifications.  No body filler, No putty, No problem.

The yellow 1969 Camaro has a 502 cubic inch big block motor. Our customer requires a T.R.I.X. designed custom steering rack because the original steering wasn't adequate for the powerful engine.  A completely fitted aluminum interior will complete this project, and then it's ready for race day!

Our customer wants hand formed fenders and quarter panels. Before the work can begin, the car has to be carefully prepared.

Under each quarterpanel, a coat of protective POR-15 is applied.  POR-15 is a special paint used to protect and prevent rusting and corrosion.

When we restore a car, we do it the old fashioned way - you will never find filler or body putty in any of our sheet metal fabrications!  If you care about the quality and authenticity of your restoration job, then T.R.I.X. is the shop for you.
