About

Matt Backhaus owns StreetWorks Exotics, the Pewaukee restoration shop that first-party history says he founded in 1999.

The company shared space with a British-car specialist in Waukesha before expanding to 600 Hickory Street in 2022 and now markets factory-correct restoration and service for postwar sports and GT cars, vintage racecars, muscle cars and hot rods.

StreetWorks' about page traces an early Jaguar and Triumph book to a 2004 Iso Grifo 350GT shown at Pebble Beach and later award mentions at Quail, Amelia and Villa d'Este. BBB lists Matt Backhaus as owner at the Hickory Street address and describes in-house paint, body, mechanical, engine, suspension and interior work.

Founder-owner of a single Pewaukee exotic-restoration shop with a first-party 1999 founding story and a current Hickory Street lock makes Backhaus the clear principal. The shop publishes a general Gmail inbox; no person-tied work email is used here.
