There’s something about a classic car that hits different. Maybe it’s the deep rumble of a big block engine. Maybe it’s the chrome, the curves, or that paint job that screams “they don’t make ‘em like this anymore.” At Pacific One Collision and Restoration, we get it. Classic cars aren’t just cars — they’re rolling history, family heirlooms, weekend joyrides, and let’s be honest… bragging rights.
That’s why our Federal Way body shop specializes in classic car restoration with old-school craftsmanship and modern precision. Whether your vintage beauty just needs some light bodywork or a full frame-off restoration, we treat every project with the care it deserves — no shortcuts, no guesswork, and absolutely no rushing the details.
Our team didn’t just stumble into classic car restoration. We grew up around it. From wrenching on weekend projects in family garages to decades of hands-on experience in the collision and restoration industry, we know the language of vintage metal.
We work on all kinds of classics — from American muscle to European icons to custom hot rods. Whether it’s a ’57 Chevy pickup, a Mustang Shelby GT500, or something with fins, tail lights, and a personality of its own, we bring that passion and technical skill to every inch of your vehicle.
Classic cars require a different level of respect. Panels are shaped differently, materials react differently, and there’s no “plug-and-play” when your car was built decades ago. Our restoration process starts with a thorough assessment of your vehicle’s structure, panels, and previous repair history.
Then, our team:
Corrects body alignment and frame issues with precision techniques
Repairs rust and corrosion without compromising originality
Fabricates and fits panels with an eye for factory-correct lines
Preps every surface meticulously for paint and finishing
We’re not here to cover up flaws. We’re here to bring your car back to its best form — whether that means original factory specs or a carefully planned restomod with a modern twist.
A classic car without a flawless paint job is like a tuxedo without a bow tie. It’s just not complete. Our paint team uses high-quality materials, precision-mixed color matching, and expert application techniques to create show-quality finishes.
Whether you want to restore the original factory color, lay down a deep candy coat, or create a custom two-tone masterpiece, we’ve got the booth, the tools, and the steady hands to make it happen.
Pacific Northwest weather isn’t exactly kind to classic cars. Rust is the silent villain, hiding in seams, under panels, and around wheel wells just waiting to spread. Our rust repair process goes deeper than just sanding and spraying — we cut out the problem, repair it properly, and protect it to prevent future damage.
The result? A solid, smooth foundation that’ll last for years to come.
Classic car restoration isn’t just about what’s on the outside. We can help bring your interior back to life, too. From upholstery and trim to chrome detailing and custom touches, our goal is to make stepping into your car feel like stepping back in time — but with modern quality and comfort.
We coordinate carefully with you at each stage, ensuring every decision reflects your vision. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process — it’s your dream build.
Many classic vehicles need more than cosmetic work. Frame straightening and structural repair are critical for proper alignment, safe handling, and that satisfying “door closes perfectly” fit. At Pacific One, we use precision equipment to restore your vehicle’s structure — without compromising its vintage soul.
While we proudly call Federal Way home, our restoration projects roll in from all over — Tacoma, Kent, Seattle, Maple Valley, Covington, Auburn, and beyond. Classic car owners don’t settle for just any shop. They want a team that respects their investment, their story, and their car. And that’s exactly what we offer.
Our approach to restoration blends old-school techniques with modern tools. That means we’re not afraid to hammer and dolly panels by hand when needed, but we also use digital measuring systems and controlled paint booths to ensure precision.
It’s the best of both worlds — honoring the craft while making sure the results are as durable as they are beautiful.
Classic car restoration can be a big project, and we respect that. We walk you through every step of the process, give honest timelines, and communicate clearly. You’ll never be left wondering what’s happening in the shop — because your car deserves better than radio silence.
