Markus Mayne — Mayne Designs Restoration
The Builder

Meet Markus.

"I don't just build cars. I build the car you've been dreaming about since you were a kid — except now it stops traffic."

Markus Mayne started Mayne Designs Restoration with one goal: take classic American muscle and turn it into something that performs as hard as it looks. Based in Southern California, his builds have earned magazine features, show recognition, and a following of 14,900+ enthusiasts who watch every build unfold in real time.

Every build starts with a conversation and a rendering. You see the vision before a single cut is made.

How It Works

The Mayne Method.

Eight phases. Zero shortcuts. This is how every Mayne Designs build moves from a dream to a machine that shuts down car shows.

Start Your Build
01
Discovery Call
30 minutes with Markus. We learn your vision, budget, and timeline. No pressure — just a conversation.
02
Digital Rendering
You see your build before we touch the car. Color, stance, wheels, body lines — fully visualized.
03
Scope & Quote
Detailed written scope with a fixed project quote. No surprises, no hidden costs.
04
Teardown & Assessment
Full disassembly. We document everything and flag any issues before the build begins.
05
Chassis & Suspension
Speedtech or Heidts subframe. Four-wheel independent. Brembo brakes. The foundation that makes it drive right.
06
Powertrain
LS, LT, or boosted — blueprinted and built to your power target. Transmission matched to the mission.
07
Body, Paint & Interior
Bodywork to show quality. Custom paint — single tone or multi-stage. Interior built to match the exterior's intention.
08
Final Tune & Delivery
Dyno-tuned, road-tested, detailed. You drive away in the car you've been imagining since you were twelve.

What Clients Say

The Proof Is in the Build.

"

Markus didn't just build my car — he built my vision. The rendering blew me away before he ever touched the Camaro. The finished car won best in show at Goodguys.

I've had cars built before. None of them came close to this. The attention to detail on the Three-Tone C10 is something you have to see in person to understand.

Markus communicates constantly — photos, updates, questions. I never wondered what was happening with my build. That trust is rare in this industry.
