What clients say about Antique Autoworks in Bates City (MO)
Took my ‘66 Mustang for a brake and wheel/tire upgrade. The team at Antique Autoworks was fantastic from start to finish. Talked us through the various options and were patient with us as we flipped back and forth on the wheel selection. Ended up landing on a full disc upgrade with Wilwood and 17” wheels/tires.
John was responsive and up front about everything. Sent regular pictures of progress and had everything wrapped up in a timely manner. Excellent work and looking forward to sending her back for the next project.
John was amazing to work with. We spent a long time trying to find anyone who would help our son out on his 1980 Camaro. Not only did John and his crew do an amazing job they were constantly in touch. Sending pictures and updates. He treated our 17 year old with so much respect. Answered his questions and offered so much advice. If you are at all looking to have a dream car restored call John and his crew. You will not be disappointed.
Amazing service at Antique Autoworks! ? John is super friendly and knows his stuff. He helped me pick the perfect muffler and installed it flawlessly. Everything went smooth and turned out exactly how I wanted. Highly recommend!
John and his crew was amazing to work with. They painted a set of steel wheels for me and exceeded my expectations. Will definitely use them for future projects
John and his team are fantastic!! I needed some paintwork done quickly, as another restoration shop had not completed it in over 2 1/2 months. Called John and asked if there was any possibility of him helping me out. Told me to bring it over to him and would help in any way he could. In less than a week, they had completed the paintwork! Not only did they do it so quickly, the paintwork was amazing!! They will definitely be getting more of my business and will highly recommend them to others!!
We did a lot of research on who might be best to restore our Dad's beloved 1929 Mercedes Gazelle and chose Antique Autoworks. Not only did they provide excellent work to do needed repairs, but also spent a lot of additional time and effort working with us to teach us more about our Gazelle. We can't say enough positive things about our experience!

Antique Autoworks performed a total restoration on my 1978 Mustang II Cobra and it now looks like it just came off the showroom floor. This required countless hours of research, and meticulous attention to details form bodywork, upholstery, to every mechanical component . I can't thank John enough for his ard work and incredible talent.

I hired John Groom to fix up my 68 Chevy C10. The brakes were a disaster, he managed to pull the old drums and replace them with disc brakes. Now it stops on a dime, wow! Also removed a rusty floorboard, and now it's solid metal. Looks sharp!!! I've known John many years. Honest person, solid character, you will do good to hire him.

We took a frame to Antique Autoworks for a 1975 Chevy K20 pickup, that was really rusted and pitted, and not structurally safe to be on the road. We are restoring the 75 Chevy K20 pickup that has been in the family since my great uncle bought it in 1977 and gave it to me after his passing. We recommend them for any body or welding work needed on a vehicle you want to restore.
Thanks for all of your work to bring the frame back to life
