Undiscovered  Classics  Restorations  and  3D  Imagery
It All Started in 2012 – And It Began With Our 1962 Shark Concept Car

The process we use in guiding the restoration of our cars nearly always employs the use of 3D imagery.  We have found this to be very cost effective as the pathway to the restoration process is brought into acute focus before the restoration begins. Several of the cars that have entered this process and which we created renderings for have debuted at either the Pebble Beach or Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance.  Our first success was with our 1962 Shark Concept Car and you can view this story on the Shark by clicking on the link below:
