1972 Chevrolet K10
Restoration Management
Research
Documentation
Story
A 1972 Chevrolet K10 representing the kind of collector-car project where history, documentation, and thoughtful management matter as much as the vehicle itself. Shifting Gears worked across the project to organize the available information, establish a clear understanding of the vehicle, and help coordinate the work required to move it forward.
Approach
Shifting Gears brought together research and documentation while coordinating the restoration process. The focus was on creating a structured record of the vehicle, organizing relevant information, and keeping the project aligned through execution.
Challenge
The project required a clear picture of the vehicle’s history, condition, and documentation, along with an organized approach to the work ahead. For a collector vehicle, understanding what is known, what needs to be verified, and what work has been completed is essential to making informed decisions.
Result
The project resulted in a more organized and documented restoration process, giving the vehicle a clearer history and the project a stronger foundation for future reference.
1987 Land Rover 110
Preparation
Photography
Story
A 1987 Land Rover 110 prepared ahead of its move to market, where presentation and a considered photographic record mattered as much as the vehicle’s condition.
Approach
Shifting Gears coordinated the preparation work needed ahead of photography, then documented the vehicle through a full photographic session capturing its condition, details, and character.
Challenge
Before a vehicle like this goes to market, it needs to be properly presented, documented, and photography that reflects its character honestly and thoroughly.
Result
The Land Rover left the project with a complete, considered photographic record and the preparation needed to present it properly to its next owner.
1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Restoration Management
Story
A 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee brought to Shifting Gears for restoration management, where the priority was keeping the project organized as work progressed.
Approach
Shifting Gears managed the restoration process, coordinating the specialists and work involved while keeping the project’s information and timeline organized from start to finish.
Challenge
Restoration projects involve multiple specialists, timelines, and moving pieces. Without coordination, information can become scattered and decisions made without the full picture.
Result
The project moved forward with clear coordination and an organized record of the restoration work completed along the way.
1963 Cadillac DeVille
Research
Photography
Story
A 1963 Cadillac DeVille where the focus was on researching the vehicle’s background and creating a photographic record of its current condition.
Approach
Shifting Gears researched the vehicle’s available history while conducting a photographic session to document its condition, details, and character.
Challenge
Establishing a clearer picture of a vehicle’s story, while also documenting its present condition, requires both diligent research and careful photography.
Result
The Cadillac left the project with research-backed historical context and a thorough photographic record to support its documentation.
