Where History Meets Horsepower
Custom Restomods & Pro-Touring Builds
A restomod is the ultimate evolution of a classic American muscle car — combining vintage soul with cutting-edge performance, handling, and comfort. But a CPD Restomod is far more than that. It’s a frame-off, ground-up reengineering of an icon, built with obsessive attention to detail, unmatched design, and next-level craftsmanship.

Description texAt CPD, our fabrication process is the backbone of every high-performance build. We combine elite craftsmanship with precision engineering to ensure every vehicle we build not only looks incredible—but performs at the highest level. Each chassis is carefully selected based on platform, goals, and client needs, then integrated in-house with exacting attention to geometry, clearance, and drivability.
Chassis Allocation & Partnerships:
C10 & F-100 Builds:
TCI Engineering
No Limit Engineering
These chassis offer race-ready handling, adjustable suspension geometry, and proven durability for our signature truck builds.
Muscle Cars & All Other Platforms:
Roadster Shop (Fast Track, SPEC)
Speedtech Performance (ExtReme, Track Time)
These industry-leading chassis systems provide the foundation for our Pro Touring and bespoke car builds—engineered to handle modern powertrains, IRS setups, and aggressive cornering with street-friendly manners.
What We Do In-House:
Full chassis integration, mock-up, and fitment
Engine and driveline positioning for balance and packaging
Custom fab brackets, mounts, and pro touring substructure work
Suspension tuning, brake system layout, and rolling mockup
Full welding, fabrication, and Cerakote finishing on select partst goes here

At CPD, precision isn’t optional—it’s the standard. That’s why we rely exclusively on the finest Miller Electric welders, trusted industry-wide for their performance, consistency, and reliability. Whether it’s structural integration or aesthetic detail work, every weld on our builds reflects craftsmanship at the highest level.
MIG & TIG Welding Expertise:
Our in-house team is trained in both MIG and TIG techniques to match the material, load demand, and finish required for each application:MIG Welding – used for chassis, structural bracing, subframes, and load-bearing components
TIG Welding – reserved for high-detail areas, aluminum, stainless, and visible welds for a clean, show-quality finish
Applications Include:
Roll cages and reinforcement structures
Custom engine, transmission, and suspension bracketry
Smoothed firewalls, bead-rolled panels, and precision fab work
Exhaust routing, subframe connectors, and pro touring system mounts
From the core structure to the smallest bracket, our welds aren't just strong—they're beautiful. This attention to detail ensures each bespoke, restomod, or Pro Touring build isn’t just engineered to perform—it’s handcrafted to last.
-
At CPD, fabrication isn’t just about fitting parts—it’s about engineering purpose-built strength into every inch of the vehicle. Our fabrication process is designed to enhance chassis rigidity, handling precision, and overall vehicle integrity—especially critical for high-horsepower Pro Touring and restomod builds.
What Sets Our Fab Process Apart:
We go beyond standard bodywork by integrating hidden and visible structural upgrades that turn classic platforms into modern performance machines.Key Fabrication Enhancements We Perform:
Custom Crossmembers & Subframe Bracing – Reinforce structural weak points and reduce chassis flex under load
Firewall Reinforcement – Smoothed, bead-rolled, and double-walled where needed for stiffness and strength
Pro Touring Substructure Integration – Mounting systems, link bars, and braced suspension pick-up points for modern geometry
Roll Cages & Safety Structures – Seamlessly integrated TIG-welded cages that increase torsional rigidity without compromising interior finish
Custom Bracketry – Engine, trans, radiator, and accessory brackets designed in-house for perfect fit, clearance, and alignment
Why It Matters:
Structural rigidity is the foundation of performance. Whether it’s launching off the line, cornering at speed, or putting down 700+ horsepower, our bracing and fab work ensures the vehicle stays composed, tight, and safe—without sacrificing ride quality or visual flow. It’s where engineering meets legacy craftsmanship. -
Using the right chassis is only the beginning—what sets CPD apart is how we integrate it. Our fabrication team ensures every inch is measured, tested, and tuned for both performance and visual excellence. The result? A chassis that doesn’t just fit—it functions like it was born for the build.
Paint That Speaks. Fitment That Flows.
Body, Paint & Finishing
At Cassar Performance & Design, the body isn’t just the surface — it’s the stage where legacy takes form. Our Body, Paint & Finishing Division blends show-quality craftsmanship with motorsport precision, sculpting every panel to perfection and laying down signature Glasurit finishes that turn heads, stop shows, and last for generations.
-
In collaboration with Glasurit, we’re developing the Signature CPD Color Line—a curated palette of rich, timeless, and high-impact finishes exclusive to our builds. Each color is hand-selected, custom-blended, and engineered for depth, durability, and show-quality brilliance. This is legacy paintwork—refined, bold, and uniquely CPD.
-
At CPD, our obsession with detail shows in every line, gap, and panel. We spend countless hours perfecting body fitment—hand-shaping panels, laser-aligning gaps, and dialing tolerances to the millimeter. Each panel is mocked, adjusted, and refined until the lines are razor-sharp and the symmetry is flawless. It's not just bodywork—it's sculpture in steel.
-
Our paint refinement process is where the soul of your build truly comes to life. Every CPD finish is hand wet-sanded through multiple stages, then mirror-buffed to a flawless, glass-like surface. We finish with a high-end ceramic coating for deep protection and unmatched gloss. This isn’t just paint—it’s a reflection of your legacy in motion.
-
From subtle rally stripes to full custom liveries, CPD offers bespoke graphics and paintwork that elevate your build’s identity. Every stripe is laid by hand, every line mapped with precision, and every livery designed to honor heritage or create something entirely new. Whether timeless or aggressive, your visual signature is crafted to turn heads and tell a story.
