Metal Shop Fabricator
We need a talented panel beater/fabricator who can demonstrate their extensive experience. Skills required are fabrication and fitting of complete body and repair panels; reshaping and repairing existing panels; lead work and panel gapping; fabrication of small body parts such as grilles, trim work, and window frames; and the remanufacturing of mechanical parts such as exhaust headers and suspension parts. The fabrication parameters are a strict replication of the design and craftsmanship of the original builders. The creativity comes from finding an effective and efficient approach to complete the finished product.
This position plays an integral role in our restoration projects. You will work in collaboration with our Master Panel Beater for a transition period of several months, and then take over senior fabrication duties from there.

Offers of employment typically include paid holidays and vacations plus a flexible benefits plan consisting of medical insurance, short-term disability, life insurance, a Section 125/132 Cafeteria plan, a 401K plan, and profit sharing. Our current staff has joined us from overseas and across the country. We have a friendly, small business atmosphere.
Work Ethics
Properly preserving the classic European automobiles entrusted to our care takes a degree of old-world perseverance and skills uncommon in today's world. A willingness to learn from others and a desire to understand technology that is more than a half-century old is paramount to any job in our workshop. Many components are simply not available from any parts source. The specifications that were standard when these cars were first built must be investigated, and the necessary materials must be located, before the component can be replaced, restored, or fitted.
Major projects are directed by a team leader, working in close association with our talented staff of panel makers, body men, machinist / tool makers, upholsterers, and mechanics, all supported by parts and research specialists. No matter the scale of the project, the teams depend upon each individual to work to their highest level, and to have a working knowledge of the other disciplines as they relate to the task at hand. To those who truly cherish the craftsmanship of the finest classic automobiles in the world, there can be no better workplace.
