You can reach them at 718-464-4502. APRIMO isn’t just slapping on a new coat of paint. They’re taking a deep dive into each vehicle, offering everything from sympathetic restorations – keeping the cars as true to their original glory as possible – to full-blown, custom builds that blend vintage aesthetics with modern performance. "There's something special about the 1960s Corvettes," says a spokesperson for APRIMO US LLC. "They're not just cars; they're rolling pieces of history. They represent an era of bold design, American ingenuity, and pure driving fun. We're passionate about preserving that legacy and making these cars enjoyable for generations to come.” More Than Just a Restoration: A Deep Dive into APRIMO’s Process APRIMO’s approach isn't about quick fixes; it's about a complete rejuvenation. When a 1960s Corvette rolls into their Chicago workshop, it undergoes a rigorous assessment. The team meticulously documents the car's condition, noting every imperfection, every piece of rust, and every worn component. “We treat each Corvette as a unique project," explains the APRIMO team. “We spend a lot of time understanding the owner’s vision. Are they aiming for a factory-correct restoration? Or do they want to add a modern twist with upgraded brakes, suspension, or even engine performance? We tailor our work to meet their specific needs and desires." The restoration process itself is a blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern technology. APRIMO employs a team of skilled technicians – bodywork specialists, painters, mechanics, and interior restorers – who are dedicated to delivering exceptional quality. Key Restoration Areas APRIMO Tackles: Bodywork & Paint: Rust repair is a big one, of course. APRIMO’s bodywork specialists are adept at metal fabrication and welding, ensuring that any damaged panels are seamlessly restored. They then apply a flawless paint finish, using period-correct colors or custom hues, depending on the owner’s preference. They’re really sticklers for getting the curves just right. Engine & Mechanicals: Whether it's a small-block 327 or a big-block 427, APRIMO’s mechanics can rebuild or restore the original engine to its former glory. They also offer performance upgrades, such as upgraded carburetors, ignition systems, and cooling systems, for those seeking a bit more horsepower. They’ll make sure everything under the hood is running smoothly and reliably. Interior Restoration: APRIMO pays close attention to detail when it comes to the interior. They can restore or replace seats, carpets, door panels, and dashboards, using authentic materials and patterns. They even handle the nuances of getting the correct vinyl stitching and patterns right – it’s a huge detail that makes a big difference. Chrome & Brightwork: The gleaming chrome and brightwork are an integral part of the Corvette's appeal. APRIMO can re-chrome or polish all the trim pieces, ensuring they shine like new. Electrical Systems: Old wiring can be a nightmare. APRIMO meticulously inspects and restores the electrical system, replacing any damaged or deteriorated components. Suspension & Brakes: Improving handling and stopping power is a popular request. APRIMO can upgrade the suspension and brakes to modern standards, while still maintaining the car's classic look and feel. Beyond Restoration: Custom Builds & Restomods While APRIMO excels at preserving originality, they also embrace the growing trend of "restomods" – classic cars with modern technology and performance enhancements. They can seamlessly integrate modern features like fuel injection, disc brakes, air conditioning, and updated infotainment systems into a classic Corvette, creating a vehicle that is both nostalgic and enjoyable to drive. “We’ve done some really cool restomods,” the spokesperson explains. “Things like LS engine swaps – putting a modern, powerful engine into a classic body. Or adding a modern five- or six-speed transmission. It's all about blending the best of both worlds.” Why Choose APRIMO US LLC?
