Restoration

Restoring cars is what we do! Maybe you have an old car that your grandpa loved that you would like to see resurrected, or perhaps you've found an old junker that is the antique car of your dreams. We can help. With three decades of auto body repair experince, Beal and Company have the knowledge and experience to bring your car back to life. We can start from the frame up, using a combination of advanced repair techniques combined with our skills in metal fabrication and custom fiberglass work, to not just bring your car back to life, but to turn it into a work of art!

Because there are many unknown or unforeseen repairs on any restoration project (for example, there may be rust hidden just beneath another metal structure); It isn't possible to accurately forecast the cost of restoring a vehicle. It is for this reason that all of our restorations are done on a time/material basis. Each project will hold its share of unique repair challenges. Initial cost estimates are simply a best guess proposition.

 

Remember, the idea of an "inexpensive restoration" is just one of the many myths held by people who don't fully understand the true meaning and scope of the word. Auto restoration is not for everyone. The vehicle owner must make a substantial financial commitment before deciding to restore. An advance deposit is required until the project is complete.

Things to expect:

  • Fine tolerances of a standard filler
  • Use of NOS or reproduction parts in place of original parts in some cases.
  • Vehicle is primed and blocked at least twice, maybe more. We use polyester primer, then two part quality sealer, and then two part quality primer.
  • Finer grits of sandpaper used in sanding process.
  • Moderate polishing will be performed to eliminate dirt specs and imperfections in vehicle paint. Some imperfections may still be inherent.
  • Paint to be original manufacturers specification. Although more buffing and sanding may be performed to bring out a quality shine. Customer can opt for a custom paint job at their request.
  • Frame off restoration will be performed strictly under consent of customer and is sometimes necessary or recommended. This will raise the cost significantly.
  • Majority of blocking and sanding will be done by hand, but machine sanding will be utilized when applicable.
  • Paint will be normally of a base coat/clear coat application.
  • Chrome & moldings will be removed.
  • Doors, hood, & deck lid will be removed.
  • Most panels will be fully skim coated for straightness.

Optional features that can be added with additional cost:

  • Frame Off Restoration
  • Frame Undercoating (POR 15)
  • Bed Liner
  • Engine Compartment Detailing
  • Custom Upholstery
  • Additional Base or Clear Coats for paint finish
  • Tri & Quad Coat Paint Finishes
  • Custom Paint Effects (Flames, Pin Striping, etc)
  • Extra Polishing & Buffing
  • Custom Metal Fabrication (Not Stock)
  • Air Ride Suspension

Metal Fabrication

Beal & Company has been doing business in Hendersonville, NC since 1987,

Sometimes, a restoration may call for parts that no longer exist, or your imagination may call for custom body shapes. Or perhaps you just want your car to have an all-steel body for more durability and longevity. Beal & Co. are trained in the traditional coach style sheet metal building process, the same process that was historically used for some of Europe's finest hand-built cars. We hammer and hard roll the seams, allowing us to create body panels and shapes that aren't available anywhere else.
