THE PROOF LAYER
Custom car builds — Edmonton
2240 Speed Shop builds custom cars and classic trucks in Edmonton — full restorations, restomods, engine swaps, and stalled projects finished properly. These are real vehicles photographed in and around the shop at 2009 91 Ave NW. Each page shows the condition the vehicle was in and the work a vehicle like it takes.
No stock photography, no borrowed portfolios. If it is on this page it was in front of the bay doors.

Red stepside pickup
Gloss red stepside under the Texaco neon, hood up on an engine bay that is nothing like stock — Edmonton bay work.

1960s–70sFinished
Blue lowered shortbox
Metallic blue shortbox, smoothed body, polished billet, and a stance that took more planning than paint in Edmonton.

How does a build actually get started?
- 01 Photos in. Send what you have — the seams, the underside, the boxes of parts in the corner. Terry looks at everything himself.
- 02 The vehicle gets read. Steel first. Nothing is ordered and nothing is promised until somebody has actually looked at what is rotten.
- 03 Scope in writing. Order of operations, what happens first, and where the money goes. Honest scope, real hours, one standard.
- 04 Work starts. Photos at stages. You are never guessing what happened this week.
Which trade does your build need?
Restoration
Frame-off or rolling. Honest scope, real hours, one standard.
Restomods & Hot Rods
Classic skin, modern spine. Rolling works of art with brakes that work.
Engine Swaps & Builds
LS and diesel conversions. Old iron, modern heart — starts at minus thirty.
Performance & Tuning
Carbs rebuilt and dialed. Points to electronic ignition. Horsepower you can feel.
Body, Paint & Metal
Rust dies here. Patch panels, floor pans, straight steel, deep paint.
Interiors & Classic Service
Period-correct materials, discreet modern comfort.
Got a project sitting?
Barn find, stalled build, or a daily that deserves better. Photos in, honest scope out. Two business days.
