ABOUT US
Roger Gibson Auto Restoration became a fulltime business in 1980. I have been in the same location in Kelso, Missouri, since inception.
The main focus of my business today is “State of the Art” restoration and repair work. We mainly work on high performance cars of the 1960’s thru the early 1970’s with Corvettes, Chevrolets, Dodge and Plymouth being the primary focus.
In 1995 the restoration business spawned a restoration parts business, Auto Restoration Parts Supply, that is owned by me and Frank Badalson. We specialize in 1966-1971 Dodge & Plymouth parts, paints and supplies. We manufacture top quality restoration parts that are tested and used in our shops on the restorations we perform.
