Frank Zucchi was born into a family legacy of hard working, highly talented artisans, from iron working to auto restoration.   With a European heritage, Frank stepped into the automotive restoration trade, where he learned from his Father, who was formally trained in auto restoration in Switzerland. This European craftsmanship was not the easiest of "schools" for Frank, but it gave him a solid foundation and rare talent in the trade.  Fueled by passion for cars, dedication and hard work Frank has maintained the family business and created his own name the high-end auto restoration world.
