Paul's Rods & Restos

Paul's Rods & Restos, legally Paul's Auto Restoration of NY, operates from a facility of more than 35,000 square feet in Deer Park on Long Island. The shop is best known for Ford Bronco restorations and restomods, and it also works on muscle cars, Blazers and other classic trucks. It is an independent business and has no relationship with Classic Cars Arena.

Who they are

The website names the owner only as Paul. It does not publish a founding year, so we do not give one. The site shows current builds and a newly added showroom with inventory, and it hosts bi-weekly Cars and Coffee events that include shop tours.

What they restore

Classic Ford Broncos are the center of the business. The shop also lists Chevrolet Blazers, Chevelles, Ford Mustangs and Ford C10 style trucks among its projects, and it offers service, upgrades and maintenance for classic and modern 4x4 vehicles.

Work done in-house

• Metal fabrication and bodywork
• Paint, using a heated spray booth the shop says it recently added
• Custom interiors and upholstery, with a woodshop
• Assembly, wiring and drivetrain integration
• 3D printing and laser fabrication for custom parts

Working with the shop

The site says the shop is accepting a limited number of new restoration and restomod projects, so availability may be tight. It also sells vehicles, which means restoration is one part of a broader operation. Pricing and deposit terms are not published.

Awards and reputation

We found no awards documented by the shop or by a third party, so none are listed. We also did not view an independent rating with a review count, so none is quoted.

Visiting and contact

The shop is at 131 Brook Ave, Deer Park, NY 11729, phone 631-242-0346. Hours were not published on the page we read, so confirm before visiting. Budgeting for a build is easier with a guide to how restoration budgets add up, and shoppers can look at classic trucks for sale in New York.
