Hello this is Michael Schultz the owner of “Old School Car Audio Restorations” I’ve been doing car audio restorations for close to 30 years now. starting very early on in life, and having refined it to an absolute perfection! With the correct people behind me to make these restorations better than they were when they were coming off the assembly line!!!
From mild to wild OEM to aftermarket period correct to custom one offs we do it all and do it better than anyone else. These aren’t stickers And paint! This is Powder Coating , chrome , gold , anodizing and silkscreen as all manufacturers do so it last as long as possible. But after years of abuse these gems turn into weathered and broken shelf queens! Now you can send them into me and I will breath new life into these legends of car audio making them 100% new again and updated to today’s standards.
Completely going thru the internals replacing anything needing to be and seeing we have many OEM part or reproduction parts we manufacture you get the right part needed!! also anything that could become problematic later on , upgrading the wiring if so desired , removing all dents dings and damage to the sheet metal if possible , or if you need replacement metal shrouds we have that too , then Powder Coating to your desired finish from what it was new or to custom one off , silk screening the lettering back on OEM or custom. then finally all new hardware to have a finish like no other!!!
So please don’t hesitate to send your questions in to me and I will be glad to help!
I do this for the love of car audio let me help you make your unicorn brand new again and in that spirit please visit the shop or product tab here on my page for many OEM reproduction options to keep your gear alive another 4 decades or more!!!!
We are driven by values, hard work, and tradition.
The work ethic, and the passion to find perfection in audio, Jim Fosgate inspired me to be exactly where I am today! We ALL owe this man plenty of thanks when it comes to pro audio!
