Specialty
Metal
Fabrication

Expert rust repair, accident restoration, and custom metalwork for VW, Porsche 356, 911, and 912 — done right the first time.

Fabrication
as a craft.

At J-3 we pride ourselves on the quality of our fabrication work and the skills required. Top-level fabrication is truly an art — requiring years of practice and serious investment in the right equipment.

All cars are stripped with plastic media blasting and crushed glass to reach clean surfaces. Interior panels are etch primed and then weld-through primed before welding. All seam work is butt-welded and ground smooth to look completely original.

High quality fabrication is very time consuming and expensive — but if you want it done right the first time, need lead work done, or want your car correct to original spec, we can help.
