GTA Motorworks consists of a small, dedicated group of designers and fabricators focusing on the historic art of coach building.  We work with manufacturers by helping them fabricate their prototypes. We also work with independent craftsmen or car collectors helping them design and fabricate custom one-offs, recreations, or restorations.

We understand the art of coach building. Our family history includes automotive designers, and of course, coach builders. Much as it was done ages ago, we design and fabricate totally in house.  Our California shop has acquired a lot of knowledge and vintage machinery over the decades, which aids in the art of sculpting metal as it was accomplished decades ago. 

While some processes must remain true to the artist (such as our hand-crafted aluminum bodies), others have changed. The use of 3D modeling allows for rapid prototyping and buck creation in a fraction of the time it used to take. Now anything can be recreated – from a vintage La Mans racer to an extremely rare spyder.

Here is a sampling of some of the projects we have been working on for the past few years.  I hope you enjoy the slideshows, and please contact us if you have any questions or comments.
