J&L Street Rods
A vintage car is something that the owner cherishes and loves, because they have owned the car for so many years. And even when someone buys a vintage car, they immediately develop an emotional attachment to the vehicle. This emotional attachment is why it is so important to find the right shop for restorations, repairs, parts and other services related to vintage cars and trucks.
J & L Street Rods are proud to offer these services in the Chino Valley area.
Total Frame Off Restoration
A total frame off restoration is something that you would only go with as a last resort – when there is almost nothing that works in your vintage car or truck. With a total frame off restoration, the service consists of a complete overhaul of the vehicle. Every system in the car is checked, repaired, rebuilt or replaced with newer parts. One of the issues customers have with a total frame off restoration is the price, because they want to get a quote immediately from a repair shop about what they will have to pay for the service. And while we understand the customers’ position, we also urge you to understand ours.
We never want a customer to feel as though they are forced to obtain a service before knowing the price. However, with a total frame off restoration, it is almost impossible to provide a completely accurate estimate, because we can only know what needs fixing after taking a deep look at every part of the vehicle’s system. What we can do is provide our prospective customers with a rough estimate, which is based on our previous experiences with similar vehicles and frame off restorations. And we provide a guarantee that we will do everything to keep the final cost within the ballpark cost estimate we provide to a customer.
Parts Fabrication
Our metal parts fabrication services are available for all customers who own vintage cars or trucks. Our team is capable of crafting high quality car parts that are individually designed to fit your vehicle. Whether you are looking for parts fabrication pertaining to your car’s entire body, or you need the services for a specific part that is missing, our team is happy to oblige. A simple look at the gallery of work we have done for other customers should assure you of our team’s quality.
The parts fabrication services we offer include manufacturing parts, repair work and welding. We are able to work with various types of metals, such as steel, iron and stainless steel. We also offer street rod fabrication services, where we are able to create custom built hot rods that will match your request. The street rod fabrication is necessary when you have the internal parts to a vintage vehicle, but the body is either missing or badly damaged.
Dealer for Vintage Parts
Finding vintage parts for old bikes, cars and trucks is not easy. Not only do the older models have fewer parts in circulation, but there are so many parts that end up being fakes. For instance, a customer may go onto the market to try and find an engine that fits a particular truck model from the 1980s. Unfortunately, they may find some dealers who are willing to sell knockoff parts at inflated prices, in the hopes of making a quick buck. And these instances are the reason why we went into the business of selling vintage parts.
We want our customers to get the highest possible value when they are buying vintage parts. It is why we put every part through rigorous testing, both to determine its authenticity and to ensure it is in proper working order. No parts are sold without passing these tests, which means our customers can rest assured that they are getting 100 percent genuine and working vintage parts when they come to our shop.
Body Work
Cars go through plenty of wear and tear over the years, especially if they have been through a few accidents. And vintage models are no different. In fact, they end up requiring a lot more work than a car that was made five or ten years ago. When you bring in your vintage car to our shop, we will inspect the body immediately to figure out what areas need work. One of our experts will speak with you about the work in great detail, because we want our customers to know exactly what changes we are going to make to their vehicle.
Repairing everything from crunched fenders to broken windshields to bent frames to dented doors is within our wheelhouse. In some cases, the body work may extend to looking for vintage parts – especially if a door, windshield, bumper or other part of the car is significantly damaged. However, most body work projects are doable without needing new parts, because our repair workers are able to restore the original parts on your car to a “like new” condition.
Paint Jobs
The worry every vintage car or truck owner has with a paint job is the prospect of ruining the vintage look and feel of their vehicle. And we understand these concerns. It is why we put a great deal of time and effort into every paint job we complete for our customers. Restoring a vintage car from the inside is one matter, but the way it looks on the outside is so important in determining the car’s value, look and feel. We want our customers to leave the shop delighted with how their vintage model is looking. We do not want them to think their vintage car has been transformed into something modern and unsightly.
Every paint job is completed with the utmost care, in order to ensure the vehicle’s original look is maintained 100 percent. Some customers may want a different color on their vehicle, but most are looking for the same color. All they want is for their vehicle to get transformed from something that looks worn out and dilapidated into a gorgeous piece of vintage machinery. And we are happy to provide this service.
