OUR PROCESS

Custom
Built Classics.
Made to Measure.

A MOTORIOT build doesn't start with specs. It starts with your vision - then we reverse-engineer every detail to match it. Whether it's a bone-stock Series II that looks like it rolled off the line in 1967, or a Defender with a Tesla powertrain, hand-stitched leather seats, and Apple CarPlay - our job is to bring your vision to life. Every detail is customizable. Every truck is built from the frame up. This isn't restoration. It's design, engineering, and craftsmanship - built around you.

Step 2

Design
Your Dream

Before the wrench turns, we get into the details. Engine type, interior layout, leather tone, seat style, audio system, paint finish, wood grain — it’s all on the table.

This is a collaborative design process. You bring the vision. We’ll walk you through materials, options, and previous builds for inspiration — or go completely off-script. Every line, stitch, and system is tailored to your taste.

We Source
the Right Donor

Our team travels across Europe and South America to personally hand-source the ideal donor vehicle.

These are not auction lots or warehouse pulls. Each truck is chosen for its story, character, and potential — whether it’s an olive field workhorse or a garage-kept survivor. The right foundation matters.

Step 4

Stripped.
Coated. Rebuilt.

Once sourced, your vehicle is completely disassembled. The body comes off. The chassis is stripped to bare metal, sandblasted, and powder-coated.

Every system is rebuilt, replaced, or upgraded: brakes, axles, steering, bushings, weather sealing, wiring. This is a clean-slate rebuild, engineered to last another lifetime.

Global
Craftsmanship

Paint, bodywork, mechanicals, and upholstery are completed by our handpicked teams in Spain and Colombia — masters of their craft.

  • interiors are hand-stitched by artisans using premium hides.
  • Wood trim and cabinetry are custom-built by master woodworkers.
  • Paint is applied in clean, high-spec booths to concours standards.

We don’t just build overseas to be efficient. We do it because that’s where the world-class talent lives.

Performance &
Final Testing
in the U.S.

The final phase happens at our headquarters in Kent, Connecticut. This is where we handle:

  • Engine swaps (LS, EV, classic V8s)
  • Automatic conversions
  • Performance tuning
  • Final road testing

We dial in the driving experience — from throttle response to pedal feel to shift calibration — so your build doesn’t just look right, it drives right.
