Reverse Engineering Antique & Classic Car Components

At Chip Monkeys, we specialize in bringing new life to antique and classic car components through advanced reverse engineering techniques. With over 20 years of experience in reverse engineering and precision machining, we have mastered the art of replicating even the most intricate and hard-to-find parts. Whether you need a single custom component or a small production run, our shop has the capabilities to recreate high-quality replicas that maintain the authenticity and performance of the original.

Our process begins with Blue Laser 3D Scanning, allowing us to capture the exact dimensions, geometry, and features of your original parts, no matter how complex or worn. This technology enables us to create detailed digital models with exceptional accuracy, ensuring every curve and contour of the original piece is faithfully reproduced. For components with metallic finishes or other embellishments, we incorporate our color matching services, carefully identifying and replicating the precise hues, metallic flakes, or textures to achieve a perfect match.

Beyond aesthetic considerations, our engineering capabilities extend to analyzing the original materials and manufacturing processes, giving us insight into how to optimize the part for modern materials or improved performance while preserving the original design. We can produce comprehensive engineering documentation for each component, providing you with the necessary blueprints and CAD models for future reproduction. This approach allows us to deliver a solution that’s not just visually accurate but also mechanically reliable.

Our extensive expertise and cutting-edge equipment make it possible to reverse engineer parts ranging from mechanical components, such as brackets and linkage assemblies, to artistic details, like classic car badges. Our CMM probing options ensure precise measurements, while quality control inspections help us identify any deviations in original parts due to wear or deformation. This attention to detail results in replicas that often exceed the quality standards of the original components.

At Chip Monkeys, we understand the passion behind restoring classic cars, and we bring that same dedication to every project we undertake. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship means that whether you’re working on a vintage muscle car, a rare European import, or a beloved family heirloom, you can trust us to deliver parts that are as true to the original as possible—if not better.
