Services

Our vehicle restoration options cover the full lifecycle of a collector car, from the first pre-purchase inspection to a finished, award-winning build. Whether you need a single phase of work or a complete frame-off restoration, Iron City handles body, paint, mechanical, interior, and electrical all under one roof. That single-point accountability means no finger-pointing between shops and no corners cut. Serving the Tampa to Naples corridor and taking on national shipping, we are the specialist facility Southwest Florida collectors trust with their most prized assets.

Our body and fabrication work goes far beyond what a standard shop can offer. We perform complete body restorations, custom metal fabrication, show-quality paintwork, and precise color matching and refinishing for classics and exotics. Collision repair at Iron City is strictly specialized: we handle structural metalwork for vintage and high-end vehicles that modern body shops are not equipped to touch. If your car has been hacked on by a previous shop or damaged in an accident, we have the metalworking skills and equipment to bring it back correctly.

A finished build deserves an interior that matches the quality of everything underneath it. We offer complete interior restorations, custom audio and electronics integration, full wiring and electrical system rebuilds, and Vintage Air climate system installation. Whether your wiring has been hacked on over the decades or you simply want a clean, modern driving experience inside a classic body, our team handles every detail with the same precision applied to the rest of the vehicle. Bespoke finishes are available to match your exact vision for the car.

If you just bought a car at auction, inherited a classic, or are unsure what a previous owner or shop may have done, our flat-rate $190 safety inspection is the right first step. We produce a detailed Punch List that categorizes every issue as critical, severe, or budget-based, giving you a clear picture of what the vehicle actually needs and in what order. This inspection is how many of our largest restoration contracts begin. At $135 per hour for targeted diagnostics, our billing is transparent and documented, not a vague estimate pulled from a flat-rate book.

Our Punta Gorda facility sits in the heart of the Gulf Coast corridor, positioned between Tampa and Naples, but our client base stretches from Quebec to California and Washington State to the East Coast. If you have a vehicle that needs the level of care Iron City provides and there is no comparable shop near you, shipping it to us is a straightforward process we facilitate regularly. Clients consistently tell us the peace of mind of knowing the work is done right is worth every dollar spent on transport. BBB Accredited and recognized with Builder's Choice awards at World of Wheels, Good Guys, and Autorama, our reputation speaks for itself.
