Restomod (restoration + modern parts/technology)

Drive Auto Collision can update any classic car or truck with modern power, function, handling and comforts. Whether you want to smoke the tires with a new LS motor, or simply want to turn the key without messing with the choke.

By the time we are done with your dream car you’ll fly through the curves in El Paso. Can also simply customize your car to handle more like your modern daily driver. Almost any modern upgrade is possible on a classic vehicle. We can even install modern crate engines into many classic cars and trucks. We pride ourselves in not being afraid of any challenge.

Engine Conversions – The foundation of any restomod, installing a modern drive train in a classic is the ultimate upgrade:

LS – Chevrolet, Hemi – Dodge, Coyote – Ford, Roush crate engines, Fuel Injection, Disc Brake Conversions, Power Steering

Suspension Upgrades – Options include air ride, independent front and rear suspension and other performance components including polyurethane bushings.

12 Volt Electrical System Conversion

Overdrive Transmission

Air Conditioning – We can either upgrade older, less efficient systems or even install a/c in vehicles that never had it.

At Drive Auto Collision we dedicate ourselves to elevating and bringing out the best your car can be by combining both old school looks and new car technology.

Our process involves the repair or replace of the visible parts (e.g., body trim, interior, etc.), and adding new parts not easily seen (e.g., electrical, suspension, brakes, etc.). The result is a beautifully restored automobile outside that approximates factory-new condition, but new internals and all the creature convince you want and need.
