Welcome to my web site
These pages represents some of the restorations I have completed on Norton and Triumph vertical twins. My process involves a complete frame-off nut and bolt restoration — stripping all components to the bare basics. All black frame pieces are powder-coated, all aluminum components are professionally polished to a chrome like finish, and all fasteners are re-plated in either cadmium, zinc, or show chrome. All fenders tanks, side covers, are professionally painted with quality automotive paints, and color sanded and polished to perfection. All pinstriping or custom lettering/logo work is professionally hand-done by fellow artist Mitch Kim Pinstriping. Every wear item has been replaced as new. Detailed care and craftsmanship have gone into each and every component.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not a walk-in business, and I do not sell parts or
do repairs.

On this website are examples of restorations I have completed since 1990 on BSA, Norton and Triumph vertical twins, a Ducati 900SS, a Ducati 250 Mark 3 Diana Speciale, and an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce. These vehicles have undergone a complete frame off nut and bolt restoration — stripping all components to the bare basics. All frame pieces are powder coated/painted; aluminum components are professionally polished to a chrome-like finish; and fasteners are re-plated in either cadmium, zinc, or show-chrome. Fenders, tanks, and side covers have been professionally painted with quality automotive paints, color-sanded and polished to perfection. Pinstriping or custom lettering/logo work was professionally hand-done by Mitch Kim Pinstriping. Every 'wear' item was replaced to as-new.
Detailed care and craftsmanship have gone into each and every component. 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce, owner and restorer: George E Kraus.
