Description:
Road Scholars Restorations is seeking an experienced technician to perform the detailed task of assembling our restoration projects. We undertake only concours winning restorations and focus on only a few projects at a time. This means our restoration shop is highly organized and allows us to focus on every minute detail of the project. Our goal is to restore each car the way it came from the factory and not create fictional history (over restoration). It's this attention to detail about which we are most passionate.
With over 80 concours wins, from the most prominent shows around the world, we attract some of the rarest and most significant restoration projects in the industry. Our facilities are equipped with tooling and equipment that allow us to perform almost every aspect of the restoration in-house.
Our team of restoration experts have diverse skill sets acquired through years of experience, creating a culture of excellence within the shop. The responsibility of final assembly is one of the most critical aspects of the restoration process. Each and every component of the project has been scrutinized for proper details and quality and it is the technician's responsibility to assemble the vehicle to a functioning level without making any defects or faults in any of the parts.
