Complete collector-grade builds executed in-house, combining structural metal fabrication, concours-level paint, chassis and drivetrain integration, and final assembly.
Projects undertaken selectively to maintain quality and attention throughout every phase of the build.
Artistic Motor Works represents the evolution of that experience into a limited-production commission program focused on structural metal fabrication and concours-level paint for collector-grade vehicles.
This custom 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer will be up for auction at Barrett Jackson 2027 Scottsdale at no reserve!

1974 Chevrolet Blazer assembly is coming to a near finish!
Ken assembled the exterior of this beauty then delivered it to our metal shop to have our fabrication specialist Jacob make a roll bar and full exhaust! Once finished, Abby & mason will take on the upholstery.
1969 Superbee is taking shape! Right after paint, Fernando took the paint down from 600 and refined it out to 5000 to get the paint flat on this beautiful brandywine. Nic is currently in the process of getting all the electrical components in place, chassis wires routed, and also assembling the drivetrain. Ken has been getting the heartbeat of the bee ready to drop in once Nic builds the engine harness.
We are stoked to see this one coming together!
On the road to Dino’s!
After paint, the interior is getting a major overhaul.. from sound deadening to a fully custom center console, and seats. Once interior is done, the cab will be getting dropped on the frame to get wired back up and running in time for @dinosgitdown
From strip to the dip!
Here we have a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Indianapolis official pace car that will be getting dipped, metal worked, and painted.
This is a bone stock numbers matching build as requested. Stay tuned for the update!
Since the last time we posted this 1974 k5 blazer, it had just been painted House of Kolor brandy wine, Taylor did an amazing job laying this one down!
After paint, Fernando got the body finished with epoxy and texture above and underneath to seal up the car from harsh elements, he then took the paint to the next level with planking the paint out from 800 grit all the way to 5000 to maximize quality and clarity of the finish. Ken hung up all panels before moving to the assembly stage.
Once body and paint was completed, our mechanic/wiring specialist Nic finalized assembling the chassis to drop the body down and start wiring up all electrical components that accommodate the build. We make sure every detail in these vehicles are done with passion and care, it’s what makes these builds different
This ’55 truck came to Artistic Customs for us to finish the build, and we’re nearly there. The exhaust is complete; now we’re working through the final details and test drive before handing it back to its owner.
We’re looking forward to showing you the finished truck.

From preparation to paint, our C10 is moving into the next stage of the build.
The cab, doors, fenders and hood are now in color, following extensive preparation to ensure straight panels and a consistent finish. The bed is still in fabrication and will be completed before it receives paint and the truck moves into final assembly.
Next, we’ll finish the bed, paint the remaining components, reassemble the truck and complete the final details ahead of its debut at Dino’s Git Down this November.
Paint time! 🎨
Taylor did an awesome job spraying this 1969 mustang
Up next is stripes
This weekend, don’t forget!
Bring out your ride and check out the new shop renovation!
This customer brought us a painted truck that we did all the final assembly on which included a custom wood bed and interior. It is now at our fab shop getting the exhaust done so it can make its debut at our car show next Saturday the 22nd.
It was great to help this truck come to life after 20 years in the making!
