About Us
Kiddy’s Classics is a vehicle restoration and refinishing shop in Jensen Beach, Florida — built around the standards of traditional coachbuilding.
Established in 2012, our work is guided by one simple sequence: structure first, form second, finish last. That sequence is not a slogan. It is the method that shapes every decision in the shop.
Structure is corrected before form is refined. Form is established before finish is applied. The process is measurable, body filler is minimized, and panels are made to fit the way they were intended to. The goal is not to make a vehicle merely look restored, but to make it hold its shape, its character, and its integrity over time.
Owner Shaun Kiddy continues his training under master coachbuilder Fay Butler, whose discipline in metal shaping and body correction has helped shape the standards behind the work here. That influence is reflected in the way each project is approached: carefully, deliberately, and in the correct order.
Complete builds carry the Body by Kiddy signature, meaning one accountable process owns the work from evaluation through final assembly. In that context, the signature is not branding for its own sake. It is a mark of authorship, coordination, and responsibility across structure, form, and finish.
Who This Is For
Kiddy’s Classics works with clients who believe a vehicle worth keeping deserves to be done correctly the first time.
Most of our clients have already lived with a car long enough to know what happens when prior work starts to fail. They understand that a result only lasts when the foundation is right, and that finish quality means little if it is built on compromised structure.
SChedule a ConsultationProject Timeline
A full build is a significant commitment of time and budget. Projects typically run 12 to 18 months, and investment generally begins in the six-figure range. Final scope is determined after evaluation, not before, because the true condition of the vehicle has to be seen before the work can be defined accurately.
Availability
Availability is intentionally limited so each project receives the attention it requires.
If that standard sounds like the right one for your car, we’d be glad to hear about it.
