"Working with the team at Tilted Hat was fun and very satisfying knowing the car was in good hands." Phil H. · 1970 MGB

We're not a quick-turn body shop, and we won't pretend to be. We're the shop collectors trust when the car has to be done right — nearly 30 years of craftsmanship stands behind every build.

Before You Call

Common questions.

Concours-level classic restorations, hot rod builds, and restomods with modern drivetrain swaps. Recent projects range from a 1933 Bugatti Type 55 and 1936 Bugatti Type 57 to vintage Ford Broncos, a 1972 Blazer LS, a 1939 Chevy Pickup street rod, a 1970 MGB, a '41 Ford and a Super Beetle. If it's a collector car and it needs to be done right, it belongs here.

Yes. We build for collectors across the country — our work has been shown at Pebble Beach, Cavallino and Amelia Island, and most of those cars didn't start in Vermont. Include your town and state in the form and we'll talk logistics on the call.

The year, make and model, roughly where the car stands today (running, disassembled, barn find, mid-project), and what you'd like it to become — faithful restoration, restomod, hot rod, or somewhere in between. A few sentences is plenty; the details come out in the conversation.

Yes — custom fabrication, MIG/TIG/oxy-acetylene welding, parts machining, engine building, complete paint and autobody, and complete rewiring all happen in our Bradford shop, under one standard.
