Tooling & Fabrication

Three Core Shop Hubs

Equipped for raw physical builds across classic automotive chassis and open-water hulls, using dedicated metalworking, lathe tooling, and composite rigs.

Metal & Sheet Fabrication

Precision Engine Machining

Marine Fiberglass & Gelcoat

Heavy-duty TIG welding, sheet metal brake work, and custom steel bracketry engineered for chassis stress points and marine mounting rails.

Manual lathe turnings, precision boring setups, and cylinder head prep for vintage V8 blocks and inboard marine propulsion drives.

Full transom rebuilds, structural stringer replacements, and multi-stage gelcoat applications designed for high-stress aquatic environments.

Precision & Process

Bench Precision Down to the Thread

Every custom bracket and turned bushing is machined on-site to exact tolerances. Working manually on the lathe and welding bench ensures structural integrity before components enter the engine bay or boat hull.

Diagnostic testing happens directly on the shop bench, isolating electrical gremlins and fuel line pressures prior to sea trials or road testing.
