Rose Lane Restorations

Rose Lane Restorations is a classic car and truck restoration shop in Vancouver, Washington, just across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. The shop says it has built and restored "literally hundreds of classics." Anyone weighing a project of their own can pair this profile with our guide on how to choose a restoration shop.

Who they are

The shop's website does not publish a founding year or the names of its owners, so this profile cannot say how long it has operated or who runs it. What the site does describe is a 16,000 square foot facility equipped with overhead cranes, multiple vehicle lifts, a full body shop, a paint booth and an in-house upholstery division.

What they restore

The shop focuses on classic American cars and trucks from 1932 to 1979. Its published marques include Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge, and its site also mentions custom builds and 4x4 conversions alongside period-correct restorations.

The work done in-house

• Complete restorations, including full body-off-frame work
• Body repair and paint in the shop's own paint booth
• Upholstery and trim through its upholstery division
• Engine and transmission swaps and rebuilds
• Chassis, drivetrain, electrical and mechanical repairs

Working with the shop

According to the shop's site, work is billed at hourly restoration rates, and it also offers package build pricing that it says starts at $35,000. It describes partial restorations that can be arranged around a client's schedule and budget, worldwide shipping, and several accepted payment methods. The shop also keeps an inventory of vehicles for sale in various stages of restoration and handles sales and trades. Owners can compare these figures with what a classic car restoration costs in general.
