What kinds of vehicles do you work on?
Classics, muscle cars, modern performance vehicles, trucks, and exotics. The common thread is work that requires fabrication, refinishing, machining, or mechanical depth rather than routine parts swapping.

Where to start
Choose your path
Five ways projects come through the door. Every path draws on the same machining, fabrication, and finishing capability.
Restoration
Frame-off and partial restoration, metalwork, refinishing, and assembly.
Performance & Swaps
LS and Coyote conversions, engine building, and dyno calibration.
Collision & Paint
Structural repair, panel fitment, custom bodywork, and in-house refinishing.
Mechanical & Transmission
Diagnosis, engine service, transmissions, transfer cases, and chassis systems.
Machining & Coating
CNC machining, custom fabrication, and powder coating for frames and hardware.
In-house advantage
One shop. One standard.
Most builds get split across a body shop, a machine shop, a coater, a trim shop, and a mechanic — and every handoff is a place where accountability disappears. Symphonia Werks keeps in-house control from machining through final assembly, with one team across the full build.
- Scope decisions made with the vehicle in front of us, not over the phone with a vendor.
- Parts machined or fabricated the same day a fitment problem shows up during mock-up.
- Paint, coating, and trim planned together so colors and materials agree.
- One point of contact for the whole vehicle from teardown to delivery.

Projects out of this shop
Restomod
Land Rover Defender 130 — LS3 Restomod

Process
How a project moves through the shop
- 01
Consult
We talk through the vehicle, the intended result, and which departments the work touches.
- 02
Inspect & plan
The vehicle is evaluated — and disassembled when scope requires it — so the plan reflects actual condition.
- 03
Build or repair
Fabrication, machining, bodywork, refinishing, mechanical, and trim work run under one schedule.
- 04
Quality check
Fitment, function, and finish are reviewed as a complete vehicle, not department by department.
- 05
Deliver
The vehicle is handed back with the work explained. Pickup and delivery is available for qualifying projects.
Facility
Capability under one roof
From frame to finish, the departments that decide the quality of a build are in the same building.
Paint & refinishing
Booth work, blocking, color changes, matte and gloss finishes.
Powder coating
Stripping, coating, and oven cure for frames, suspension, wheels, and hardware.
CNC machining
One-off parts, engine machining, adapters, and brackets made on site.
Fabrication & welding
Panels, mounts, chassis modifications, and structural work.
Mechanical & transmission
Diagnosis, engine service, transmissions, transfer cases, and chassis systems.
Upholstery & trim
Seats, panels, headliners, embroidery, and complete interior builds.
Owner philosophy
Quality work is a work of art
Symphonia Werks is run by Steve Stevens on a simple premise: a vehicle is finished when the craftsmanship holds up in the places nobody photographs — behind the panel, under the carpet, inside the frame rail.
That standard is why the shop was built the way it was. Machining, fabrication, finishing, and trim were brought in-house so no part of a build is judged by somebody else's definition of good enough.
Craftsmanship first, one team across the full build, start to finish.
FAQ
Common questions
How much of the work is done in-house?
Restoration, mechanical and transmission work, collision and bodywork, paint, powder coating, CNC machining, fabrication, upholstery, and final assembly all happen in our own facility, which is how one team stays accountable across the full build.
Can I bring a vehicle in for only part of a project?
Yes. Many vehicles come in for a single stage — metal and paint, a driveline refresh, an interior, or a powder-coated chassis — and the plan states exactly which systems are being addressed.
Do you pick up and deliver vehicles?
Vehicle pickup and delivery is available for qualifying projects — ask when you call.
How do I get started?
Call 346-779-6301 or send your project details through the form. Work is by appointment, so a conversation about the vehicle and the intended result comes first.
