Endangered Skills

The Endangered Skills Program is a forthcoming video series produced by the RPM Foundation designed to preserve rare automotive restoration and preservation skills, ensuring they can be learned by future professionals in the field.


As masters of auto restoration leave the craft, their unique skillset disappears with them. With each departure, we lose another ability integral to the proper restoration and preservation of collector vehicles.


Giving to the Endangered Skills programs fuels our ability to document these unique and vital processes for future restoration professionals. Every skill documented through our video series leads to more historic vehicles remaining on the road in their original or properly restored form.
