Process
Restoration Or Custom?
We are equally at home with Concourse gold stock Muscle Cars or National show winning custom builds.
The Consult
Consult: Before any work, customers share their vision for the project. Any drawings, pictures, books, or just a simple sketch is enough to get things started...get things going. We come to an understanding of the style of car you are envisioning, what you see in your mind's eye. Then, we will put your ideas to paper and task.
Design and Review
Design & Review: Cars that will be restored to stock we discuss the desired level of restoration. All custom cars start with simple sketches then move to concepts. After several revisions, these will become full color renderings. While building the car, these keep everyone on the same page and are used as a guide to the build.
Deconstruction
Deconstruction : The beginning of every project, we tear down the vehicle while meticulously cataloging the parts and pieces. Hundreds of pictures and video are shot to make sure everything is accounted for....these pictures are also a fantastic road map to reassembly.
Fabrication
Fabrication: We have all the tools and equipment to make metal beautiful and functional. Fabrication through cutting, bending, chopping, grinding, hammering, shearing, welding, riveting. If it is rust repair or custom metal fabrication, we have the tools to get the job done right.
Body and Paint
Body and Paint: The end result is only as good as the prep work....we do the work. All paint is built on a bare metal foundation. Only the best materials and techniques are used to achieve the World Class finish we are known for.
Assembly & Wiring
Assembly & Wiring: Once painting is finished, the car goes on to assembly and the final chassis work. Time to put it all together. Attention to detail is an important part of our process, and extra care is taken to prevent damage to any pieces.
Upholstery
Upholstery: We use a variety of upholstery techniques and finishes, depending upon your preference and style of the car. Stock or custom, we make it both beautiful and functional.
Final Detail and delivery
Final Detail: After upholstery is finished, Big Creek Restoration focuses on the final assembly and detailing. We ensure everything is as perfect as it can be, checking and double-checking every nut and bolt. Besides looking fantastic, it must function properly, so the car will be enjoyed to it fullest! The car is road tested and heat cycled to ensure operation and performance. Then, we hand you the keys. Time to show, drive, and enjoy!
