Coastline Classic Car Restorations
Huntington Beach, CA · Greater Los Angeles
Coastline Classic Car Restorations brings 14-plus years and a full in-house bench — mechanical, body and paint, upholstery, electrical, and engine work — to frame-off and OEM-correct restorations. Rust and structural metal repair is a stated specialty, which matters more than it sounds: it's the line item that hides the most surprises, and a shop that does it in-house controls both the diagnosis and the fix.
Best suited for
OEM-correct and frame-off restorations, especially cars needing real structural metalwork. Less of a restomod or custom shop.

What to ask this shop
- 1.Rust and metal is their stated strength — ask how they diagnose hidden structural rust before quoting, and what gauge steel they use on structural panels.
- 2.Ask to see a recent OEM-correct restoration and the owner's number for a reference.
These come from the 47 questions in the Shop Vetting System — the full list is what you walk in with.
