Vintage Motorworks LA
Van Nuys, CA · Greater Los Angeles · Est. 2012
Founded by Henry Moukoian
Founded in 2012 by Henry Moukoian, Vintage Motorworks LA runs a notably broad in-house bench — engine building, body and paint, upholstery, and mechanical all under one roof, across both American muscle and European marques. That range makes them a one-stop option for a full build you don't want shuttled between sublet shops; the trade-off is they're a generalist by marque rather than a single-make specialist.
A full in-house restoration or restomod where you'd rather keep everything under one roof — muscle or European. Less specialized than a single-marque shop.

These come from the 47 questions in the Shop Vetting System — the full list is what you walk in with.
