ACT 01 / 03
2009 91 Ave NW · Sherwood Park line2240 Speed Shop · 2009 91 Ave NW · Sherwood Park line
Restorations, restomods, and engine swaps from a working shop on the Sherwood Park line. Built in Edmonton. Driven anywhere.
SCROLL — THREE CARSSCROLL — THREE CARS, ONE LAMP
ACT I — THE STANDARD IN ONE FRAME
Paint only earns the spotlight after the metal, gaps, stance, wiring, and road manners are right. The finish gets attention. The decisions underneath are why it keeps it.
See the finished work →INTERLUDE 01INTERLUDE — WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY BUYING
Before the first cut, define the car.
Stance, engine, gearing, brakes, steering, exhaust, and interior have to agree. We lock the use, the spec, and the sequence before teardown, then make every later decision against that brief.
One plan
metal, drivetrain, paint, wiring, and trim built to the same brief.
ACT II — THE PART THAT SETS THE STANDARD
Hood up
Subject — 1972 coupe · mid-build, panels in primer
ACT II — ONE BUILD, ONE STANDARD
Metalwork, drivetrain, wiring, body, colour, and trim follow one build plan here. Terry sees each stage, makes the calls, and stays answerable for the whole car.
INTERLUDE 02INTERLUDE — THE PART NOBODY PHOTOGRAPHS
Anyone can make it shiny. Straight is the hard part.
Gaps, reveals, the way a body line carries from the front fender through the door and lands on the quarter. That work happens in bare metal and primer, months before anything gets sprayed. The next best thing to standing in the room is walking it — keep scrolling.
One
person owns your build start to finish. You will have his number.
STATION 00 — THE DOORWAY
Finished paint under honest light. The Charger turns so every gap, reflection, and body line has nowhere to hide. Past it: bare metal, open engines, and work in progress.
Walk on. The bays are open.
TRAVEL — INTO THE HOIST BAY
Two hoists. Every serious inspection starts underneath.
STATION 01 — THE HOIST
A Challenger up on the posts, pans down, nothing hidden. The first serious conversation about any build happens right here — what the floors and the frame actually say, before anyone talks paint. The owner is the one holding the light.
TRAVEL — TOWARD THE ENGINE ROOM
Engines out. Every system planned together.
STATION 02 — THE ENGINE ROOM
The blown V8 on the stand is one chapter of the same build. Metal, motor, colour, wiring, and trim are planned together in this building, with one person answerable for how the whole car drives and feels.
TRAVEL — INTO THE FAB CORNER
Metalwork first. Straight before shiny.
STATION 03 — THE FAB CORNER
A shell in primer on stands, the arc striking at the bench. Gaps, reveals, and the way a body line carries through a door get settled here, months before anything is sprayed. This is the part nobody photographs and everybody sees.
TRAVEL — THE GAUGE WALL
The rollers settle the handoff.
STATION 04 — THE DYNO
A car on the rollers under the tuning neon, the numbers holding steady. It starts, idles, heat-soaks, stops, tracks, and runs again. The handoff comes after the shakedown, not before it.
TRAVEL — TOWARD THE OFFICE WALL
Build photos, decisions, and proof stay on the wall.
STATION 05 — THE OFFICE WALL
Every print on that corkboard is a customer’s car — the D100 a photographer pulled over for, the coupe, the pickups. Projects come in from across the metro and the county roads past it.
TRAVEL — THE LAST BAY
Tested, sorted, ready for the road.
STATION 06 — THE ROLL-UP DOOR
A finished Challenger nosed at the open door, the city behind it. Every car that leaves like this started as a phone call and a handful of photos.
ACT 03 / 03
ACT III — EVERY ONE OF THESE STARTED AS A PHONE CALL

1960s · Driven
The patina truck a photographer pulled over for. Original turquoise, rust through the tailgate, still on the road.

1950s · In the bay
Gloss red stepside under the Texaco neon, hood up on an engine bay that is nothing like stock — Edmonton bay work.

1960s–70s · Finished
Metallic blue shortbox, smoothed body, polished billet, and a stance that took more planning than paint in Edmonton.
CH. 04 — THE PROCESS

Send photos. Tell us what the vehicle is and where you want it to end up. No sales pitch.

Honest scope, real hours. What it needs, what it does not, and where the cost sits before a bolt moves.

Metal first, then mechanical, then paint and trim. Photos as it moves, so nothing is a surprise at pickup.

Nothing leaves on a trailer of hope. It gets driven, sorted, and driven again.
