At AIM, our capabilities cover every aspect of classic vehicle restoration, specializing in Ford trucks. Under the expert guidance of master mechanic Wes Featherston, our shop handles everything from minor mechanical refurbishments to complete, frame-off customizations. Bringing old trucks into a new era. Our core services include:
Complete Frame-Off Customization
For the ultimate in automotive transformation, we offer full frame-off custom builds. This meticulous process involves completely disassembling the vehicle, separating the body from the chassis, and addressing every single component. The frame is stripped, repaired, and powder-coated, while the body undergoes extensive metalwork to eliminate rust and imperfections before moving on to a clean, durable paint finish.
Electrical and Interior Customization
A custom build deserves electrical and interior work that's as modern, reliable,and personalized as the rest of the project. We rewire each vehicle with updated, safe harnesses designed to support today's performance and accessory demands while keeping a clean, factory-inspired look.
Inside the cabin, we partner with skilled upholstery craftsmen to create interiors that match your vision.
Custom Metalwork and Fabrication
Vintage vehicles often require specialized attention to their bodywork. Our skilled fabricators are adept at repairing damaged panels, fabricating custom sheet metal, and ensuring perfect panel gaps. We utilize traditional metal-shaping techniques alongside modern welding technology to restore the structural integrity and aesthetic perfection of your vehicle's body.
Engine Rebuilds and Mechanical Overhauls
The heart of any classic car is its engine. With over 20 years of master-level mechanical experience, Wes oversees all engine rebuilds, transmission overhauls, and drivetrain upgrades. Whether we are rebuilding a period-correct flathead V8 or installing a modern fuel-injected crate engine for improved reliability, our mechanical work is executed with precision and rigorous testing.
