Some cars are worth bringing back.
The one you learned to drive in. The one that sat in the garage too long. We restore them so they feel the way you remember.
A family shop in Los Angeles.
We’re Current, a group of family and friends who started out building hot rods. Today we’re car builders, fabricators, technicians and engineers, all under one roof in Chatsworth.
The building has a full metalworking shop and an electronics lab, so we make a lot of parts ourselves, from custom mounts to billet trim.
However you picture it
Restoration
Original, down to the details you remember.
Restomod
