Classics skip the emissions test
Harris County tests emissions every year on gas vehicles 2 to 24 years old. Most classics are past the 24-year mark, so they skip it, which matters when you’re planning a swap.

Classic Car Restoration and Body Work for Houston
Our shop is in Tomball, at the top of TX-249 (Tomball Parkway). From downtown, take I-45 north and Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway) west to TX-249, head north, take the exit toward Holderrieth Rd and Alice Rd, then Alice Rd to the shop. It’s about 33 miles, usually 35 to 50 minutes outside rush hour, and a lot less from north and northwest Houston.
Houston has no shortage of repair shops. What’s harder to find is one shop that does classic car restoration, LS swaps and engine swaps, Holley Sniper EFI conversions, rust repair and paint, all under one roof.
We also do collision repair and everyday mechanical work. Call 936-661-2675 to talk through your car or your build.
