Body Shop 661 offers a variety of services at its family-owned and operated Santa Clarita location, including body and paint work, collision repairs and classic car restoration.

Owner Cesar Ranuschio started the business alongside his father in 2000, combining his experience doing body and paint work with his dad’s expertise as a mechanic.

While Ranuschio noted that he does some mechanical work when it comes to collision repairs, there is a difference between a mechanic and a body shop like his.

“Mechanics do more of servicing, transmissions, motors idling, stuff like that,” he explained. “I do more visual stuff. I like what I do more because you get to see it.”

Ranuschio sees about four classic cars enter Body Shop 661 every year for restoration services, and is currently working on a 1957 corvette.

Any body work Ranuschio does — whether on a classic car, a brand new car, or somewhere in between — requires painting afterward to complete the look, according to Ranuschio.

“You’ve got to smooth it out, primer it and then paint it just for it to look pretty,” he said.
