I could not be happier with my experience with StraightLine Customs. I became the owner of this 1969 Camaro in 1983 when I turned 16. It was a mess at that point, but I loved the car. Over the years, changes were made, but always incrementally as time and budget allowed. In 2015, I decided it was time to make the car of my dreams. I researched parts, concepts, tools and cost and jumped in. After about three years, I knew that as I got closer to needing paint and bodywork, something I wanted to be perfect, that I would have to start doing more research. I found that one of the best ways to find a great shop is to look for the result you want and ask the owner who did the work. In my area, StraightLine Customs was the shop that stood out. I reached out to SLC and found that they were more than willing to partner with me, letting me do what I enjoy, and applying their expertise on the items where I lack skill and patience. Their skills go way beyond what I had them do on the car and they committed to making me successful by understanding my full plan, offering guidance, working on schedules, and being flexible. In the end, my car exceeds my initial aspirations and I attribute much of that to StraightLine Customs.
I was looking for a Chevrolet 12 bolt rear differential and was offered one that came out of a correct model Chevrolet. Being he was a car restoration business I thought nothing of it and went down and picked it up. Brought it home and to my surprise it turns out it was a OLDS BOP diff and not what he had said.Mistakes1. My first mistake was not doing my homework and checking casting numbers and such.2. My second mistake was taking him at his word just because he was in the car restoration business.3. Not sure if he did it on purpose or if he was oblivious to the fact it was not a chevrolet diff. Either way due to being misled or just pure incompetence I will not go here.I take my fair share of the blame since I should have checked numbers.Email from DanI have a complete 65 chevelle 12 bolt out of a ss. I took the backingplates and brakes. No posi and gearsi think are 3.00;1 If you want itmake me a offer. *** *** **** Dan--Dan PearsonStraight Line Customs, LLC
Had an extensive amount of work done on my 68 olds and could not be more pleased with the quality of work and the customer service before during and after the work was completed! They were always there to answer questions and help me with ANY issues! Never using anyone else.
Dan looks after all the details even after you take your baby home. Highly recommended.
When my wife and I first met we owned an 1957 Pontiac Star Chief so we wanted to restore another one and drive it back to California to relive our past. Straight Line Customs was able to do a full restoration. We wanted the paint back to the original color of the one we owned. Straight Line Customs was able to do that but made the color modern exciting and timeless! Straight Line Customs did an excellent job communicating with me, listening to my ideas about the project and bringing our dream back to reality. I would recommend working with Straight Line Customs!
I’ve known Danny for a long time. Lucky for me our paths crossed a long time ago, me being a car guy but not having the capabilities or talent to work on them. This is where Danny steps in. Danny has performed and done work on over 12 of my company vehicles and has done an outstanding job. He’s restored vehicles for me, from rebuilding motors to fixing rear ends to everything in between. He has built me a killer 1966 Mustang Fastback that I get compliments on everywhere I go. Just recently he has built me a 1956 Ford F100 dream truck in a 6 month period. From the amazing black paint job to the awesome interior. This truck shows top notch workmanship. Every time I walk past this truck in my shop it puts a smile on my face. If you’re looking to have work done on your vehicle, Danny will have both you and your vehicle’s best interest in mind. Danny really will make your dreams become a reality.Good Luck with your future projects.
Thanks for restoring my 63 Nova! Everyone that sees the car loves it. You have a professional team and they produce professional results. Many ask me who did the work and I tell them Straight Line Customs! If I can get you more work I will. I wish you the best and much success.
Working with Dan at Straight line Customs has been a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. Not only did they do everything they said they were going to do… and more, they met the time schedule and the agreed upon budget. Working with Dan was great! My wife and I sat down with Dan and discussed how we envisioned the project progressing. He listened and had some great input and ideas for our Mustang build. All along the process we had many phone calls and face to face talks with Dan about what I wanted and maybe other options. Never once did I feel frustrated or not listened to… Dan understood what that car meant to me and my family and he worked with us the whole way. Delivery day was like the day my first child was born…nervous and excited and hoping it was everything we had planned for. When Dan backed the Mustang out of the trailer I was speechless… I was watching a new 1970 Cobra-Jet Mustang roll into our driveway. The paint and fit/finish were breathtaking… better than when it rolled off the Ford assembly line I’m sure. The interior was as new and beautiful. Everything worked as it should and it sounded awesome! My wife and I took our first spin in the car in the 27 years I’ve owned it. I couldn’t be more pleased and happy with the final product that Dan and Straight Line Customs have brought back to life for me and my family. We will be enjoying this car for many years and proudly showing it off this summer at some local cars shows.
I went looking for a shop to help with my project. I went down to back to the fifties and car craft and talked to a number of shops. Many claimed to be able to help with the build, but a number of them either did not have the paint skills I was looking for or told me that they had used this guy south of town for painting. Dan Pearson’s name came up like 5 or 6 times and I finally decided why not just go find this guy and deal with him directly.Best move I could have made. Did not really have a plan for the 29 coupe when we started. Sort of went through the process together in true old school hot rod fashion. My goal was to keep some original look of the 29, but to be able to mix and match parts from other old cars, but also make sure the drive train, convenience and safety features were up to modern levels. The car is amazing, the paint even more so. We were nominated for MSRA street rod of the year in 2014. It also sits on the main web page for the shop as well. I am so happy with Danny and crew and so proud of the car we built.Turned out so well we have just kept going completing a 75 corvette and now working on a 60 fury and 66 galaxy. The newest shop they moved to well be fantastic. Already the new projects are amazing.
I havent seen a single vehicle in their shop that didnt come out looking amazing. Ive done airbrush work on a couple of vehicles there and I am just blown away every time I see one of their finished products. Their quality far exceeds my expectations.
Straightline Customs is the best!! Let them build you a custom car!!
I’ve contracted with Straight Line Customs for two recent restorations; a 1969 Camaro Z28 and a 1972 Blazer. Danny has been easy to work with and let me contribute to each project as much as my skill level permitted. The body and paint on both vehicles are flawless, I receive compliments every time the vehicles are driven or taken to a show. I do recommend Straight Line Customs!
We took our 2012 Mustang Shelby GT500 to Dan at Straight Line Customs with a vision of customizing it to set it apart from other Mustangs. We wanted a sophisticated and powerful look when complete. What Dan produced was beyond expectations. He kept the Shelby baseline look while adding edge. We are extremely happy with the work Dan has produced. The work was completed in a timely manner and his pricing was very competitive. We HIGHLY recommend Dan and his team at Straight Line Customs for any automotive project. Dan is an artisan of his craft and we look forward to showing it off in Las Vegas at the Mustangs 50th Birthday Celebration on April 17 as well as many other shows.
I have a custom 1979 Camaro Z28 that needed an update, and that update was a Chevy LSX454 engine. I needed a shop that could do the entire install including engine, new fuel system from gas tank forward, computer with all wiring, and custom exhaust. Also, old fuel system and wiring for computer needed to go away. In the process of looking for a shop to do the work, Straight Line Customs kept coming up from parts vendors, as well as fellow car people as a shop to check out. So I went there, was impressed, got an estimate, and they got the job. I am very happy that I chose to take my car to this shop. I worked directly with Dan, Scott and Rob - all were great to work with. They explained in detail what they were doing and any fabrication questions they had, they contacted me before doing the work so I knew what was happening during the entire process. Everything turned out perfect - especially the custom exhaust. Tucking up a 3 inch exhaust system - nice and tight on a lowered Camaro - truly a thing of beauty. Their work is much appreciated. This is my new go to shop, as I will going to them for additional work in the future.
Dan and his team are very accurate in their assessment and quotations in doing the work needed (in my case a problem with a leaky rear main seal) They found a few other problems while working on my 67 Chevelle that they informed me about and quickly fixed. As I looked around in their shop, I quickly realized just how good these guys are in the restoration business. I have dealt with a few places similar to Straight line in the past and I can attest to Straight lines highly professional communications and work efforts. I plan to use them again, should I need work on my prized chevy.
We bought our 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette in Boston off Craig’s list and bought it sight unseen. We soon realized it was going to need some TLC to bring it back it to the head turn is once was.We started looking around for customs shops and soon found Straight Line Customs. After a few conversations with Dan, we soon knew we had found the right guy to trust our Corvette with. After listening to what we wanted done, and him going over everything with us, we made the decision to have him do the work on our toy.
I had my 1965 Mustang restored by Straightline Customs and they dideverything. My restoration project included interior, body and paint,fabrication as well as resolving some engine issues that I had with thecar. They were able to handle it all and the experience was awesome.Restoration projects always have a few snags but Danny and his crewhandled everything that came up, resolved it quickly, withprofessionalism and kept me in the loop. Because of my experience atStraightline Customs Danny has now done work on several of my vehiclesand I wouldnt take my cars anywhere else!
I checked in for an oil change, which I got in a very fast and effective manner. Personel were friendly and eficient.
Just called with some questions, the guy I talked to was very helpful and knowledgeable. Just a disclaimer that I did not purchase anything - but I had a pleasant experience and wanted to review.
I had SLC do a complete restoration on the truck the way I wanted plus add a few surprise custom touches that went above and beyond what I had expected! My entire experience from start to finish was great and I would highly recommend SLC.
What can I say about SLC...Danny and his crew exceeded all my expectations. The Chevelle came out looking badass! Danny was great to work with and full of ideas on how to make the car standout and perform like new. His crew was able to perform all task thrown at them and they did it in a timely manner, meeting all deadlines to make Summer Nationals a great time. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend SLC to anyone and cant wait to get started on the next project with the SLC crew.
Outstanding service and work!
