They sure don't "make 'em like they used to" so how can they be serviced today? Let 1945 take care of your vehicle's seasonal dust off, preparing your car for driving season or finally taking care of the odds and ends, your car's laundry list of needs in order to be truly enjoyable.

If you feel like you would drive your antique or sports car more if it was more reliable, had more power or maybe had more of the creature comforts your daily driver has, let us help.

Whether you are looking for a "juice" brake upgrade on your '31 Model A or a full LS swap in your '68 Camaro, 1945 has the abilities and skill to execute and complete any mechanically oriented task with ease and perfection.

Seamlessly marrying the old and the new is our speciality.

We are sure there is no part of a vehicle's mechanics that we can't repair, restore, or customize - from any era or make.

When this occurs, the only choice is to recreate that part on our own. Thanks to our expert crew of fabricators, we can make just about anything.
 
Whether it involves the english wheel, the bead roller, the mig or tig welder, or just a simple hammer and dolly, 1945's knowledge and expertise will make any metal fabrication work look effortless. 

As a custom shop, we've completed some amazing paint work that truly stands out, but we also have the full ability to imitate factory original paint jobs - and we do so on a regular basis. We have some of the best talent nationwide working furiously everyday to complete some of the best paint and body work in the world. 
​
Candy paint, custom pin striping, full livery and anything else to adorn your vehicle, we can do it.

Often times we are approached by a client who desires something custom built but is unsure what they'd like to do. On the other hand, we have clients approach us with straightforward conceptualizations in their head and are looking for help to make it reality. Whatever the case, 1945's expertise in custom design will help you through the planning process to make your ideas and abstractions for your build a reality.

Many clients come to us to make their vehicle special, something truly unique. There's nothing more rewarding to the 1945 team to take a vehicle that's already collectible, sentimental or awesome and bring it to the next level to communicate the driver's personal style. Let 1945 help you find the perfect fitment for custom wheels, achieve that OEM+ look with a spoiler and aero, livery and interior appointments.
