Eclectic Motorworks offers a variety of classes for all skill levels. We share our knowledge and practices with small class sizes so there is plenty of time for interaction and customization to attendee needs. We include lunch and a dinner at a nice, local restaurant as we’ve found adding a social component helps attendees process information and perhaps meet some new friends.
Rust Repair & Welding – November 21-22, 2026
Rust Repair and Welding classes are two day classes that covers sheet metal forming, welding, patch panel installation, and sill/pillar repair. Individual classes focus either on “body-on-frame” cars generally using the MGA as an example or unibody cars generally using an MGB for demonstrations. The first day focuses on general skills and welding, with hands-on time for welding instructions. The second day continues to focus on building welding skills as well as working on the specifics of unibody restoration using a shop vehicle as a demonstration vehicle. Part of the second day is spent correctly fitting doglegs, fender bottoms, rockers, etc.. Class size is limited to 6 participants. The class costs $850 and includes lunch and snacks both days as well as Saturday night dinner. Participants receive our 150-page Rust Repair & Welding manual which includes 23 articles plus other handy information.

Tuning and Performance – October 24-25, 2026
Tuning And Performance is a two day class geared toward British car owners, but also useful to other classic car enthusiasts. We cover a comprehensive tune up, various parts and procedures to get more from your car and in-depth performance discussions that include various performance “recipes” from mild to full-race. During the first day, we perform a hands-on, comprehensive tune on an MGB, where we torque the head, adjust the valves, work with ignition system, and dial-in the carbs. Participants receive our 145-page Tuning and Performance manual which includes about 20 articles and data/analysis from over 1000 dyno pulls. The class costs $695 and includes lunch and snacks both days as well as Saturday night dinner. Class is limited to 12 participants.
