Brauns Motorsports
Lomita, CA · Greater Los Angeles · Est. 1972
Owner: Chris Braun
Brauns Motorsports has been working since 1972 under owner Chris Braun, and what sets them apart is an in-house machine shop and fabrication bench — capabilities most restoration shops have to sublet. They range from 1920s–30s hot rods to '60s–'70s muscle, with chassis dyno tuning and even Winfield carburetor restoration in-house. If your build needs real metal fabrication or machine work, this is a deeper bench than most.
Hot rod and muscle builds that need in-house machine work and fabrication. Strong for one-off or heavily-modified projects; less of a bolt-on restoration shop.
