Inside the work

Real metal. Real builds.

What leaves the shop

Metalwork that belongs on the build.

No catalog look. No universal-fit shortcuts. Every panel is shaped around the vehicle, the stance and the finished build.

01

Firewalls & engine bays

Smoothed, recessed or completely reworked for cleaner lines, modern drivetrains and purpose-built layouts.

02

Transmission tunnels

Hand-built clearance for transmission swaps, raised floors, air-ride chassis and altered driveline geometry.

03

Floors & structural repair

From localized floor sections to complete replacement, built with attention to strength and serviceability.

04

Rust repair

Damaged metal removed, surrounding structure assessed and replacement sections shaped to match.

05

Truck beds & bed raises

Raised bed floors and custom sheet metal for lowered and air-ride trucks without the improvised look.

06

One-off panels

Patch panels, closeouts, inner panels and details that are unavailable, discontinued or better built from scratch.

“The goal is simple: the metal should look like it was always supposed to be there.”

How a project starts

Clear scope before the first cut.

  1. 1

    Send the vehicle and problem

    Year, make, model, clear photos and a direct description of what you want changed.

  2. 2

    Shop review

    The condition, access, previous repairs and fabrication path are reviewed before a range is given.

  3. 3

    Written scope and deposit

    Approved work is documented. A 50% non-refundable deposit reserves the job and starts material planning.

  4. 4

    Fabrication and approval

    If hidden rust or prior damage changes the job, it is communicated before additional work proceeds.

Straight numbers

$100 / hour

$400 minimum job. Custom fabrication is estimated from visible condition; hidden rust, previous repairs and difficult access can change the final scope.

Small rust repair$400–$800

Medium repair$800–$1,800

Floor pan section$1,000–$2,500

Full floor$2,500–$5,500+

One-off custom panel$600–$1,500

Firewall / engine bay mods$1,000–$3,000+

Pricing is a starting range, not a blind promise. A written scope controls the job.

The shop

Old metal. Modern standards.

Marco Sheetmetal is a one-man fabrication shop in Mesa, Arizona focused on classic cars, squarebody trucks and custom builds. The work is hands-on—from pattern and fit-up through shaping, welding and metal finishing.

This is not collision production work. It is deliberate, one-off fabrication for owners who care how the unfinished metal looks before paint hides it.
