Welcome to Rust Bucket Rides One of the only Restoration Shops that guarantees the vehicle to be finished!
Do you have a car, truck or motorcycle that's been sitting at a body shop for years, only to see that it's been completely disassembled and no progress being made?
Do you have a Car, Truck or motorcycle that you took apart and realized it is too big of a project for you to tackle?
Do you have a Car, Truck or Motorcycle that you just want done, but can't find a shop that will do restoration work?
Then look no further. At Rust Bucket Rides we pick vehicles up in pieces or simply start on projects however far along they are. All we do is restoration. So you don't have to worry about the vehicle being pushed in a corner and forgotten about.
How It Works
Pricing / Budget - Use our price calculator for a general idea of what it cost. When restoring a vehicle it does add up quickly. Labor, Chrome, Mechanical, weatherstripping and glass all add up and can make a restoration cost upwards to $50-$60k. The most time consuming part of most restorations is assembly. There will be times where you will get a bill for 40 hours and see 3-4 pieces of chrome on a vehicle. This takes time. However some customers want to do the assembly themselves and that's fine as well.
The way we work is, our technicians clock in on your vehicle while working on it. At the end of that week, we send pictures or detailed descriptions of what work was done with the hours and the technician that worked on it. That is an invoice that is due the following week, either by Check, Cash, Paypal or Credit Card. Customers are welcome to come on the weekend to see progress. We do not allow visits during the week because that holds up production from technicians. The shop is right here next to where we live.
We only take in 3 vehicles at a time. Once a vehicle is completed or near completion, we will call you and let you know the date to bring or when we can pick it up. The reason we only take in 3 at a time, is when you start getting a lot of vehicles in, it's hard to get any out. The 3 we bring in at a time is different from our mechanical side. Because sometimes a customer just needs us to wire up a part, rebuild and install a carburetor, or install fuel injection. This is typically an in and out process, and the mechanics do not do body work or metal fabrication.
All types of rust repair / fabrication Full Frame off Restoration Seat Covers Detail (sand and Buff) LS Swaps ** Coyote Swaps ** Hemi Swaps ** Chassis Swaps ** Fuel Injection Power Window conversion Most any mechanical work (all machine work of blocks and polishing of cranks are sourced out to a local shop) Interior Dye and repair Towing and Hauling of Vehicle (Regular tow behind trailer, rate is 0.65 cents/mile, then $40/hour to load items) The reason we charge hourly is because typically we are there loading parts for 3-4 hours and I am paying my guys to help load.
** The swaps range so much and can be extremely difficult. Please if you want to do a swap, do not buy kits. It's best to buy a full donor vehicle and let us figure out what else needs to be purchased to complete your swap.
