The Story
Created for SASS Rod & Resto in Huntington Beach, California, this custom legacy medallion celebrates a shop built on craftsmanship, family, and decades of dedication to classic American automobiles.
Rather than simply displaying a logo, the piece captures the culture of the shop and the passion behind every restoration — becoming a permanent symbol of the business and the people who built it.

Legacy Medallion
THE DESIGN
The medallion measures 12 inches across, crafted from solid black walnut with a sculpted octagonal profile. Its centerpiece features the SASS emblem, surrounded by eleven authentic .45 ACP cartridge headstamps and a single .50 BMG headstamp at the twelve o'clock position — accented with more than one hundred hand-set brass inlays.
The reverse is precision laser engraved with a compass rose, the Huntington Beach coastline, the shop's coordinates, and the words: Built on Passion. Driven by Purpose. Rooted in Huntington Beach.
THE RESULT
Presented as a one-of-a-kind commission, the finished piece now serves as a permanent display within SASS Rod & Resto.
More than a decorative sign, it stands as a legacy artifact — honoring the craftsmanship, history, and identity of one of Southern California's respected restoration shops.
