Project consulting
Know what you are getting into before the build gets expensive
A practical planning session for project cars, restorations and custom metalwork. Send the photos, the questions, and the messy context; Mike helps you work out what is realistic, what should happen first, and where the traps might be.
01 / What it is
A practical second set of eyes
Project consulting is for the point where you need clear, experienced advice before committing to a build, buying a car, cutting into panels, or spending money in the wrong order. It is not a sales pitch; it is a grounded read on the project, the likely work, and the next sensible move.
02 / The process
Send the context, then make a plan
You send photos, videos, goals, budget expectations and what feels uncertain. Mike reviews the project, asks the right follow-up questions, and helps break the work into stages: what matters now, what can wait, what needs specialist work, and what might be a red flag.
03 / Why it is worth it
Save time, money and frustration
A good build can be slow, but it should not be blind. A consult can help you avoid buying the wrong project, stripping too much too soon, missing hidden work, or spending your budget on the shiny part before the structure is sorted.
Plan the build before it eats the budget
Project consulting
Use this for pre-purchase advice, project triage, build planning, rust and panel assessment, or deciding what to tackle first.
