Welcome to Motion Products, Inc.

Phase 1 - Intake

During the intake process we invite you to visit our facilities to meet our team members before sitting down together to review your vehicle goals and objectives. If you are unable to meet on-site it’s not a problem. We’ll work with you to schedule a video chat or conference call.

We integrate your requests and vehicle needs to understand the scope of the project. Through this initial step we identify challenges, set preliminary scheduling, photograph the vehicle and order required materials prior to the disassembly phase.

Phase 2 - Disassembly

This step includes the removal and evaluation of all vehicle components, fasteners and parts to identify correct and incorrect items. Within this phase we also delegate all internal accountabilities and draft initial part and material orders.

Phase 3 - Components

Any part which is more complex than a standard fastener is considered a component. All components are reconditioned in-house and bench tested prior to reassembly. This process begins after disassembly and is carried out through the assembly phase.

Phase 4 - Paint 1

Paint 1 is our paint removal process which is based on project requirements and can include chemical, mechanical and blasted media processes.

Phase 5 - Metal Fabrication

As we outline and begin overall repairs to be performed to the body and trim components, the metal fabrication phase begins. We execute corrosion repairs, panel form corrections as well as fit doors, lids, glass and trim. The suspension can also be fitted with the wheels and tires to verify clearances as required. This is an excellent opportunity to visit our facility and see your vehicle in its raw form.

Phase 6 - Trim

In order to expedite our processes more efficiently, we perform the metal fabrication and trim phases simultaneously. All notations made during the intake phase are applied to pre-fitted trim components and any adjustments or repairs are completed.

Phase 7 - Paint 2

This phase involves the painting of the inner body, exterior body and chassis. Prior to the color application there are a number of “pre” paint steps that are performed to ensure our quality standards are met.

First, we apply corrosion prevention of bare metal surfaces. Following that, an epoxy coating before any filler work is completed. We painstakingly weld seams, and any repairs are treated to prevent flaws in the final color coat. Additionally, a final fitting is performed with any rough fit trim prior to final color application. Finally, a color coat application is applied to the primary polish.

Phase 8 - Assembly

The assembly process is where our team’s effort starts coming together. As it implies, this is the phase where all the repaired parts of the vehicle are put back together.

Phase 9 - Upholstery

As early as our first meeting, we work with you to make carpet and leather decisions. While components of upholstery take place throughout the restoration process, after the Assembly phase is when we can make advancements on further details relating to the interior of your classic car. This is another great time to see the progress of your classic car before the final reveal.

Phase 10 - Refinement

Our rule of thumb is 5/50/500. We test drive your finished vehicle these distances with full safety inspections and tuning minded alterations performed between 5 and 50 miles. Once we have covered 500 miles, your vehicle will perform as intended by the original manufacturer. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of this phase due to how it affects your impression of the vehicle’s place in your collection and our overall service.

Phase 11 - Release

We are honored and respect the opportunity to re-introduce you to your vehicle at the venue of your choosing. Many of our projects have debuted at major concours events around the world. If rejoining your collection is its final destination, logistical arrangements can be made and carried out by our team. We also provide a customized portfolio of relevant photographs and documents of your restored car.
