About Peter Jackson

More About Peter

Knowledge

Pete’s Custom Coachbuilding specializes in a wide range of classic and vintage sports cars, from Porsche 356 to Alfa Romeo Giulietta, and has the knowledge to shape any piece of metal needed for your project. Our customers love to be involved in their projects, and fully understand what it takes to rebuild a car to the PCC standard.

Detail

The shop is fully equipped for sheet metal fabrication, mig/tig welding, body work, paint and assembly. From complete ground up restorations to automotive preservation, we can bring your project back to it’s former glory.

Passion

When a car comes to PCC, it has often been recently purchased as a “project car”, or it is a longtime possession, almost to the status of family heirloom. The cars have often been sitting for years, if not decades, and simply represent a possibility of their former glory. PCC experts see that possibility, and help you to see the potential of what your car can be. Whether it is your only show car, or an exciting new addition to your collection, we will restore it to its full potential, remanufacturing every detail to create a car that is often better than what was on the showroom floor. If you are looking for a quick-and-dirty paint job, this is not the shop for you. Our customers share our passion for detail, and enjoy the thorough custom process of a full restoration.
