Cooper Technica, Inc. specializes in complete restorations of rare and valuable vintage automobiles, especially pre-war and early post-war European sports and touring cars. Cooper Technica maximizes each car's potential value with the highest standards of authentic restoration, meticulous research and historical documentation, and an emphasis on functionality. Our goal is fidelity to the original rather than over-restoration to an imaginary ideal. We believe restoration is best when the hand of the restorer does not show. Therefore, original specifications, materials, and techniques are used wherever possible. Our emphasis on functionality assures our clients that the restored car can actually be driven—not just idled up to the podium to receive an award. Sometimes this involves subtle modifications for today's gasoline and driving conditions, which may include hardened valve seats (for unleaded fuel), modern paint technology, modern rubber compounds (tires and seals), and upgraded wiring and electrical. Decisions about these modifications are made in consultation with our clients and are discreetly crafted with an eye to maintaining the car's value. David Cooper directs each step of the restoration and does much of the mechanical and assembly work himself. Typically, the disassembly, evaluation, research, complete mechanical and electrical restoration, and reassembly take place at Cooper Technica's Chicago facility. Here we make every effort to restore vintage parts. If replacement parts are necessary and originals are unavailable, we fabricate quality restoration parts in our own in-house machine shop. Other work, such as sheet metal body panel restoration (both steel and aluminum), preparation and paint, or interior and convertible top restoration is subcontracted to elite specialist artisans in both the United States and Europe. David Cooper honed his restoration skills during an eleven-year apprenticeship with master craftsman, engineer and inventor, Leonard Morrison (1935-2002). Cooper is a trained machinist and fabricator, overseeing all aspects of restoration and assembly from his Chicago workshop.

Ad Hoc is also committed to collaborating with local artists’ and the community by displaying a revolving array of work from many talented artists, and offering event space with a refurbished, made-by hand ambience complete with retro-modern furniture and fixtures and a full-kitchen.
