    Frame-Off Restoration in Stratford, ON

    A frame-off restoration is a complete, ground-up approach that involves removing the body from the frame so every part of the vehicle can be addressed. Back Corner Studios handles complete frame-off restorations, including sandblasting and full undercarriage painting, at our Stratford shop.

    What a Frame-Off Restoration Involves

    A frame-off restoration separates the body from the frame so the vehicle can be addressed from the ground up — including the chassis, the undercarriage, and the body itself. It's the most complete form of restoration, and it lets us reach and refinish areas that can't be accessed any other way.

    Sandblasting

    Sandblasting is part of a complete frame-off restoration here. Removing old paint, rust, and buildup from the frame and components gives a clean surface to work from, and it's what lets the refinishing hold up over time. We'll walk you through what needs it based on the condition of the vehicle.

    Full Undercarriage Painting

    A complete frame-off restoration includes full undercarriage painting — refinishing the chassis and underside so the protection matches the rest of the build. Because the body is off the frame, the undercarriage can be properly prepped and finished rather than worked around.

    Project-Dependent Work

    A frame-off restoration is a significant, project-dependent undertaking. We take on these projects based on the vehicle, the scope, and our current schedule, and we work through the plan with you up front so expectations are clear before the work begins.
