There is a quiet truth in coachbuilding that only the hands doing the work ever really understand. The soul of the craft isn't just in the final, flawless reflection—it lives in the gritty, unseen hours that come first.

As the week closes, the true essence of coachbuilding reveals itself in the quiet of the shop. We exist at the intersection of engineering and sculpture, relying entirely on seasoned hands and an uncompromising eye to coax raw metal into breathtaking, fluid silhouettes. It is a relentless pursuit of functional art, where every curve and contour is born from pure craftsmanship and an intimate, tactile understanding of the material.

There is a profound elegance in the uncompromising art of traditional coachbuilding, where raw metal is meticulously hand-shaped into a seamless, rolling sculpture.

A flawless finish begins long before the paint is applied. For a chassis of this caliber, a bespoke restoration means elevating the metalwork to an exacting artisanal standard. We rely on traditional, handmade craftsmanship to perfect the sweeping lines of this Espada, ensuring the bodywork stands perfectly true on its own merit. It is an uncompromising approach reserved for those who understand the distinct value of true coachbuilding.

Big milestone on the SL job! We're officially out of the metal shaping phase for all four rear ends and have begun the assembly phase.

Mixed emotions, honestly. I'm excited to get into the next phase, but it feels strange stepping away from the power hammer after spending so much time forming these panels.

Anyway, here's a quick mock up before I start cutting, welding, throwing edges, and finishing.

Brian’s XY GT is officially prepped and ready for paint over at Atomic Automotive Atomic Automotive. Since it's reached that milestone, I’m going to spend the next few days walking through the metalwork we tackled on this shell.

​To start off, here’s a look at the roof. The original was completely butchered for an old sunroof install, so we had to cut it loose. These photos show the full removal of the old skin, the repair work on the donor roof, and the final fitment to get the roofline right again.

​Stay tuned as i share more over the coming days.

​We are currently locking in major restoration work for 2027. If you've got a build coming up, get in touch with the shop to secure a spot.
