Built to Be Driven ft. Stuart Wilson of Velocity Restorations
For U.S. Navy veteran Stuart Wilson, a difficult restoration project led him to create the process and client experience he wished existed in the first place. What began as a small garage operation, shaped by the problems Stuart ran into restoring his own Bronco, became Velocity Restorations, a company now operating from a 135,000-square-foot facility in Florida, building what's known as Re-Engineered Classics. AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony met with Stuart at The Henry in Dearborn, Michigan, where the two sat inside his personal truck, a Founder's Series International Scout, to talk shop. The two discuss the difference between a restomod and a Re-Engineered Classic, how the buyer base continues to evolve, and why Velocity-built vehicles are meant to be driven, enjoyed, and even passed down.
