Classic Auto Body One of the most essential steps in a car body repair and restoration is stripping away old products such as seam sealer, body filler and paint, along with rust. If these offenders are not removed they will most likely rear their ugly heads on an otherwise perfect vintage auto body restoration. At Select Motors we use the chemical stripping and e-coating process to assure we start your restoration project with the cleanest body panels possible.

Often what appears to be an original brake arrangement is a severe mismatched set of parts that function poorly. Select Motors has the expertise to diagnose and deliver a first class brake system for your classic car or truck.

Auto Chemical Stripping Chemical Stripping to remove rust and the E-Coating Process: You may wonder, "How much rust does my car have?" There is only one way to find out - strip it down to bare metal and take a look. Most rust is hidden under body filler and paint. Auto chemical stripping is our method of choice for rust removal. E-Coating, an electrically applied sealer is then used to seal the bare panels to help prevent rust from coming back. Want to know more? Give us a call 800-716-9635.

The Dodge D-100 pick up truck was treated to a complete frame off restoration including chemical stripping and e-coating the body. The finished product had paint and body quality extremely nicer than when this truck was new. Our Dodge customer's Dad, a college professor, had bought the '67 Dodge pickup brand new because it was the most practical vehicle for him at the time. His son, the current owner, wanted his D-100 to be restored to new condition, essentially reverse the damage nature had delivered the truck over the past 42 years, and add air condition. The aftermarket air conditioning system was to be installed as inconspicuously as possible.
