Has your love of the classic automobile been sitting silent, waiting for the day you could hit the open road in that machine you always dreamed of?

Don Williams and Paul Newman have teamed up to form Kustom Works, a unique business that delivers fully restored classic vehicles and creates one-of-a-kind street rods that will satisfy any desire.

Like his famous actor namesake, Newman has a genuine passion for the automobile and a love of classic cars. “There’s just something about being behind the wheel of a car that nobody else has, in a style that is all your own,” says Newman.

Paul Newman and Don Williams of Kustom Works are jacked up about their auto restoration business.

That affinity led to his meeting Williams, a gifted and certified mechanic, millwright and fabricator. With Newman’s lengthy background in business management and Williams’ wizardry in specialty automotive restorations, the two are an entrepreneurial match.

Together, the talented tandem is helping make dreams come true for Alberta auto enthusiasts.

Got a precious ’55 Chevy gathering dust in your garage? Sometimes it’s Dad’s old car that you just haven’t gotten around to fixing up, or you may just have a certain car in mind that you’ve always wanted.

Williams will take that vehicle and turn it into the king of the road. “It’s better to create your own, customized vehicle than buying that classic after someone else has restored it,” says Williams.



“These cars and trucks appreciate in value and can be a great return on investment, especially given the low returns in other investment areas these days. It’s not cheap to fully restore that ’63 Corvette, but when you drive it out of our shop, you’re going to know it was worth every penny.”

Always wanted to own a classic street rod, but been too busy to make it happen? Williams and Newman have the connections and resources to track down that dream car and present it to you as a polished, customized street rod.

“It’s a fun business,” says Newman. “Whether it be a vehicle for an individual or for business use, there’s nothing better than watching a client drive away after Don has worked his magic.

“We work on cars and trucks that range from a late 1920s Model T up to a 1970s muscle car. You end up with a truly classic vehicle that has all of the modern comfort and conveniences like the drivetrain, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and sound system. The client has the option to choose absolutely everything, if he or she wishes.”

Adds Williams: “The first thing we do is sit down for an initial consultation, where we’ll discuss exactly what you want. We take a client through the process from the first step to the final touch. We carefully consider the element of practicality in the whole project. We won’t build you a two-door coupe if you’re planning on
enjoying this experience with the whole family. We are simply putting your driving passion into real motion.”

Whether you’re a successful executive ready to celebrate the finer things of life, or you’re looking for a unique marketing tool for your company, Kustom Works can create the vehicle and look you’re after.

“A growing part of our business is the corporate advertising and promotional area,” says Newman. “A unique rolling billboard complete with company colours, logo and corporate attitude is noticed by everyone. They are great to have at corporate events like barbecues, golf tournaments and parades or just driving around town making deliveries and meeting clients.”

Chrysler’s PT Cruiser has quickly become a popular
promotional vehicle. Imagine taking it a few steps further and customizing your own classic to match the spirit of your individual company. Now that’s advertising!

Once you have that classic vehicle, Kustom Works provides a full-service facility for maintaining it for you, which can be anything from a tune-up to further modification and customization. Because they build the vehicle, they know it from bumper to bumper.
