Restoring a classic car is unlike modifying any new vehicle on the road today. With dozens of models that can be restored in different ways, staying informed on new trends and build request types can help businesses expand their customer base, as well as creative wit.   

Moderated by Todd McClure of The Stop Shop, this panel discussion features builders and businessowners at the forefront of auto restoration sharing their take on current trends.  

Join Lou Santiago, host of Garage Insider TV on YouTube; Amy Fitzgerald, owner of Cool Hand Customs; and Douglas Glad, head of editorial at Hemmings, as they answer the industry’s most pressed questions on: 

1. Top restoration trends for hobbyists and businesses
2. What’s hot and what’s not at car shows 
3. Where restomods and EVs fit in the restoration world

The panel will be joined by the ARMO Select Committee as they discuss the current state of the automotive restoration market and the council’s current initiatives.
