Our Beginnings and Focus

Jim Welch opened "The Shop" as it is sometimes called in 1983 after he graduated from TCU in Fort Worth. Originally a Corvette only shop, Mid Cities Classics has branched out over the last 40 years and is now filled with Corvettes of every year, Camaros, Trans Ams, other Muscle Cars, Classic Trucks, Motorcycles & Hot Rods. The shop's custom paint work has won numerous awards and our cars have been featured in many magazines. With collectively over 150 years of automotive experience Mid Cities Classics can service all your classic car needs.

Eventually, customers started branching out in their restoration projects and asked Jim to do so also. In 1993 we changed the shops name to Mid Cities Classics and have never looked back.

We are very fortunate to have played a role in thousands of customers’ projects of everything from classic cars, exotic cars, and motorcycles to airplanes, helicopters, boats, gas pumps, and pedal cars.

Today, Mid Cities Classics is a full service mechanical and body shop with over 2500 customers served. We can meet all your needs for maintenance and/or repair of your specialty vehicle. Our passion is working with customers on any project, no matter how big or small, and getting the opportunity to turn someone’s dream car into a reality.
