The FFR Restoration Process

Restoring a classic car or hot rod is an involved and thoughtful process—one that demands technical excellence, refined craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the vehicle’s heritage. At FFR Fabrication, our restoration process is as thorough and intentional as the work itself. From initial assessment to final delivery, we keep you informed of key decisions while ensuring every detail reflects your vision and our shared commitment to quality.

Initial Evaluation
We begin with a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle, assessing bodywork, structural integrity, mechanical systems, interior components, and electrical functionality. This in-depth evaluation provides a clear understanding of the car’s current condition and informs the direction of the restoration.

Scope and Planning
Following the evaluation, we develop a tailored scope of work. This includes detailed notes, timelines, and cost estimates, ensuring you have a clear picture of what’s required and what to expect. Your input is vital—we take the time to align our plan with your goals before moving forward.

Disassembly and Documentation
The vehicle is methodically disassembled, with every part carefully bagged, labeled, and cataloged. This stage often reveals previously hidden issues, which we promptly bring to your attention. Any necessary updates to the scope of work are discussed and approved before proceeding.

Structural Repair & Fabrication
This is where the foundation is rebuilt. Our team addresses corrosion, structural flaws, and fabrication needs using precision methods. The vehicle is then temporarily reassembled for test fitting and refinement before continuing to finish work.

Bodywork & Paint
Surface preparation, panel alignment, and body refinement are handled with meticulous care. The paint process is carried out to the highest standards, restoring the vehicle’s original beauty or creating an entirely new expression with timeless finish quality.

Mechanical Restoration
All mechanical systems—engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and driveline—are evaluated and either rebuilt, replaced, or upgraded for performance, safety, and long-term reliability. We approach every component with the same uncompromising attention to detail.

Interior Restoration
The interior is restored or reimagined to reflect your desired aesthetic, whether honoring the factory look or creating something custom. Our standards for fit, finish, and material quality ensure a refined result throughout.

Final Assembly & Delivery
Reassembly is performed with precision and care, followed by road testing, adjustments, and final inspections. Only when everything meets our standards—and yours—do we consider the project complete.
