Restoration and rebuilds for Kenner, planned in stages by Big Easy Custom Cars.

Overview

Restoration Work for Kenner Owners

Kenner has been a town since 1855 and keeps its Rivertown blocks working as a heritage district. A rebuild follows the same logic: metal first, then mechanical, then paint and trim, with photographs at each stage.

A rebuild is planned in stages so you always know what is next and what it costs. Metal first, then mechanical, then paint and trim, with photographs as each stage closes. Kenner owners keep the final say on every part that goes on the vehicle.

Every restoration job here starts the same way: we look at the vehicle, agree what it needs, and put a price and a timeline in writing before anything is touched. You get updates while it is with us and the final say on every part that goes on. Kenner customers book by phone or by sending photographs, and the shop is in New Orleans.

Tell us what the vehicle needs and we will come back with options, a timeline and a price. Contact Big Easy Custom Cars to book restoration in Kenner.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Have To Say

I added a new audio system and custom lighting, and the setup is exactly what I was hoping for. Clean installation, no messy wires, and the sound quality is a huge upgrade. The lighting gives it that extra touch without being too flashy.

Kevin T. Audio · Custom Lighting

I've worked with shops before, but this was my first time doing full custom paint work. The finish is smooth, deep, and consistent across every panel. You can tell they take pride in their craft.

Chris H. Full Custom Paint

I brought my Camaro in for custom paint and graphics, and I couldn't stop smiling when I saw it finished. The color depth and detail in the design came out even better than I pictured. People ask me about it everywhere I go now. The team really nailed the vision.
