A restoration is measured in months, sometimes years, so my day is one slow chapter of a very long story. I might spend the whole morning fabricating a single floor-pan patch because the reproduction piece doesn't quite fit the way the factory stamped it in 1968, and I'm shrinking and stretching metal until the contour is right. Rust is the thief that steals my timeline; I open up a rocker expecting surface scale and find the structure gone, and now I'm calling the owner to have the hard conversation about scope. A lot of hours go into the hunt for parts, NOS trim, correct fasteners, a date-coded carburetor, because for these cars correctness is the whole point to the people who own them. I keep the factory manuals open and photograph every assembly before I take it apart, because in eighteen months I will not remember how that wiring loom routed. There's welding, blasting, block-sanding, and endless test-fitting. The reward is rolling a car out that hasn't run since the Carter administration and hearing it idle. But the business pressure is real: long timelines mean money trickles in, and an owner who loses steam can leave a half-built car sitting on my rotisserie taking up a bay for a year.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a classic car restorer's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a classic car restorer — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
