​Ancient Grease Garage is a shop where custom dies and tool used in collector car restoration and metal shaping are machined and manufactured.  Many of the machines used in creating custom automobiles or restoring antique and collector cars were built decades ago and tooling is no longer available from the original manufacturer. We custom make these tools and dies to our customer's specifications.
