Quarter Mile Muscle

Quarter Mile Muscle is a restoration and custom-build shop at 210 Performance Rd in Mooresville, North Carolina, in the heart of the Lake Norman racing corridor. Trade press describes the building as a former NASCAR race shop, and names Bryan Klitz as the owner. The shop works mainly on American muscle cars and Corvettes. If you are weighing several shops, our guide to how to choose a restoration shop lists the questions worth asking each of them.

Who they are

The founding date is not clear from the sources we could check. A business-record listing points to 2011, while a Yelp listing gives 1995, so this profile does not state a year. The shop's own site returned an access error when we tried to open it, so the details below come from the shop's published blog pages as shown in search results and from trade articles in Shop Owner, Tire Review and similar outlets.

What they restore

The shop says it will restore collector cars, muscle cars, hot rods, sports cars and vintage classics of any make. Its listings emphasize Chevrolet products such as the Camaro and Corvette, along with Ford, Mopar and classic trucks. Work ranges from original-quality, numbers-matching restorations to restomods and one-off custom builds.

Work done in-house

• Frame-off restoration
• Custom bodywork and paint
• Metal fabrication
• Full mechanical work, including engine swaps and engine rebuilds
• Wiring and pre-purchase inspections

Trade coverage describes mechanical, fabrication and paint departments operating under one roof, which is the shop's own account of how it handles a build.

Insurer recognition

Several sources, including the shop's own material and trade articles, list Quarter Mile Muscle as a preferred restoration shop for Hagerty. We did not find an itemized list of show awards, so none are claimed here.

Reputation

We could not open the shop's review pages in a way that let us confirm a rating and count for ourselves, so no star rating is quoted. Review any shop's recent feedback on several platforms before committing, and ask for references from past clients with similar cars. For budgeting, see what a classic car restoration costs before you request an estimate.
