Meet the team

Sam Ellington has ample years of experience in the restoration business, starting at the age of 14 on his own 1970 Chevrolet step side pick-up that he found rusting away in a hay field. That was his first all-over restoration job, and to this day, it is still his daily driver. Sam has worked tirelessly to fulfill his lifelong dream of owning his own shop and reached that goal back in July 2021, along with his wife and co-owner, Emily Ellington, who has helped him every step of the way.

Sam Thompson is new to us, but definitely not to the industry, and he holds many certificates and years of dedication to prove it. He is insanely qualified to take on the hard tasks, whether it be fabricating, mechanical, body, or customizing. He has been around street rods and drag cars since before he could walk. His love for the classics is what brought him to us with starting this new chapter in the old school restoration business.
