What leaves the shop

Metalwork that belongs on the build.

No catalog look. No universal-fit shortcuts. Every panel is shaped around the vehicle, the stance and the finished build.

Firewalls & engine bays

Smoothed, recessed or completely reworked for cleaner lines, modern drivetrains and purpose-built layouts.

How a project starts

Clear scope before the first cut.

  1. 1

    Send the vehicle and problem

    Year, make, model, clear photos and a direct description of what you want changed.

  2. 2

    Shop review

    The condition, access, previous repairs and fabrication path are reviewed before a range is given.

  3. 3

    Written scope and deposit

    Approved work is documented. A 50% non-refundable deposit reserves the job and starts material planning.

  4. 4

    Fabrication and approval

    If hidden rust or prior damage changes the job, it is communicated before additional work proceeds.

Straight numbers

$100 / hour

$400 minimum job. Custom fabrication is estimated from visible condition; hidden rust, previous repairs and difficult access can change the final scope.

Small rust repair$400–$800

Medium repair$800–$1,800

Floor pan section$1,000–$2,500

Full floor$2,500–$5,500+

One-off custom panel$600–$1,500

Firewall / engine bay mods$1,000–$3,000+

Pricing is a starting range, not a blind promise. A written scope controls the job.

The shop

Old metal. Modern standards.

Marco Sheetmetal is a one-man fabrication shop in Mesa, Arizona focused on classic cars, squarebody trucks and custom builds. The work is hands-on—from pattern and fit-up through shaping, welding and metal finishing.

This is not collision production work. It is deliberate, one-off fabrication for owners who care how the unfinished metal looks before paint hides it.

A strong project fit

Quality, scope and timing have to agree.

01

Built for the finished vehicle

You care how the panel fits, how it can be serviced and how the unfinished metal looks before paint.

02

Clear decisions

You can define the vehicle, the problem, the intended result and approve changes when hidden damage is uncovered.

03

Realistic budget and timing

Custom fabrication is not collision production work. The deposit reserves the project and the written scope controls the job.
