Tacking Up a Ball Joint on a Classic Buick: Custom Auto Repair Ahead of the Malta Car Show

Old Cars, New Life: Metal Fabrication for Show-Ready Rides

There’s nothing quite like the rumble of an old-school Buick heading to a car show—especially when it’s been brought back to life with some custom fabrication work. One of our latest projects? Tack-welding a ball joint on a vintage Buick bound for the upcoming car show in Malta, IL.

Whether it's suspension tweaks, structural reinforcement, or cosmetic detailing, we love getting our hands on classic vehicles. This particular Buick needed a bit of reinforcement on the front end to stay road-ready—and show-ready. A clean, strong tack weld was just what it needed to keep the joint solid while maintaining that vintage vibe.

Why choose custom welding over replacement parts?

In many older vehicles, OEM parts are hard to come by—or wildly expensive. Our fabrication shop can often save you time and money by repairing or reinforcing components with precision welding instead. From brackets and frames to mounts and joints, we’ve got the tools (and the experience) to keep your car road-ready.
