Doug originally started the CRCoachworks business on accident while working on his hobby back in 1993. The first CRC (pictured) was built on a ’93 Anniversary Corvette but the difference is he modified that chassis to fit the stock ’62 body.  Going to car shows up and down the West Coast just for fun and a little vacation time, he stumbled onto a business idea that was not common at all 30 years ago.

 

After selling the prior family business, this became Doug’s

retirement project.  In theory, he figured working out of the

garage he would build 1 or 2 a year and so in 2001 the

madness began.  After a 3+ year design process, Doug

created a product that has wowed many!

​

The first year that CRCoachworks debuted at SEMA in Las Vegas, built on a C5 chassis since it was a larger platform than the C4, we ended up with 43 orders!  No shop, no employees, not much thought that it would end up this big of a deal, we began hiring employees, building our shop, installing state of the art equipment and got the ball rolling.

 

   With over 200 CRC Retro-Vettes out in the world, we have an intense knowledge of quality work to provide the best of the best!  We are currently building the CF1 bodies out of carbon fiber for Kindig-It designs out of Utah.  In business for over 25 years we are excited about this chapter!
