Quality Pot Metal Repair Takes Time & Talent


Over a century, car builders, welders, and fabricators have been trying to figure out how to repair pot metal. However, only a hand-full have achieved it, and even fewer can do it well.

Repairing Pot Metal is a constant learning curve. No project is the same. Each piece varies in it’s percentages of alloys and every inherent contaminate creates a new “problem” scenario. These inconsistencies and contaminates are not separated by castings, but can be found within a single pot metal piece!

Our method was developed around the most common scenarios and a series of trial & error tests spanning over a very lengthy and expensive period. This has led us to repair methods, which have consistently produced Pot Metal restoration like never seen before. We are the only professional Pot Metal welding, modification, fabrication and casting services in America (perhaps in the world) that’s truly unmatched by no other in the world.

This was a fun project. These Pot Metal Bertram Boats name plates are obsolete and cannot be found in good usable condition.  We created new name plates from cratch due to the original emblems were too decayed for 3D scanning. 

Left hand was broken off, Left shoulder and neck had large cracks. Customer opted to self refinish.

Pot Metal Repair Cycle Times

Cycle times are very important to us. We do our very best to get projects in and out! However, quality can only be rushed to a certain point before it is compromised.

Typically, projects take one to six weeks depending on the amount of work required and current workload. On average, most repairs requiring up to four hours can take two weeks to complete, not including shipping.
