Folks Of Interest Hot Rod Works is moving to Texas!

We are pleased to announce that Hot Rod Works has a new owner. Ryan Reierson has purchased Hot Rod Works from Nick and Ken Smith. Ryan will be keeping the same business plan that we have been using for the last 24+ years. The quality, honesty and availability will continue as it has been but in a different location. Nick will continue to be an important resource for the shop and is helping through training and in the transition to Texas. Between now and the first of the year, Ryan will be moving the operation to Waco, Texas. This will be done as fast and smooth as possible. Please be patient with us during this transition period. Ryan looks forward to building relationships with past and future Hot Rod Works customers.

If you need quick change or banjo rear axle upgrades or rebuilds, Ryan is now accepting them.

Awesome! Now that is some good news.

 

Do Texans know how to build hot rods?

 

Do cows **** in the field?

 

Thank you Nick for your work on my Columbia. The work was excellent in every way Cheers to your future may it be bright

 

Ryan: Thank you for purchasing HRW. Great company.

 

Always appreciated that they would take the time to chime in here on the Hamb when looking for a specific part

 

I thought the term was (Does a bear **** in the woods ?) Glad to see the Hot Rod Works name will live on. Wish Ryan all the luck in the world.

 

@krylon32 seemed like there would be more cows than bears in Texas to me

 

I think it may be a regional term?

 

Best wishes to the new owners and thank you to Nick and Ken for all the good service and quality products!

 

Loosing the Hot Rod works was really going to ****.
Now seeing This its great news. Heck its an early Xmas present as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks to all involved.

Glad to hear that Hot Rod Works will continue with the new owner Ryan in TX. Ken and Nick have built up a great business and products, happy to hear they will still be available.

 

I'm thinking that Ryan is one of Kenny's boys or maybe a grandson. Long time hot rodding family out of Cranfill Gap Tx.

 

Great to see a hot rod related business is being p***ed on and will remain, instead of just closing the doors!

 

What ****s where is as muddled as what a carby or dizzy is around this place !

 

Sorry to see the business leave the state, but glad it lives on.

 

Great news - thank you Nick and Ken. Can’t wait to have my hot rod works rear installed in my roadster!

Good luck, Ryan!

 

Congratulations Nick and Ken.
Good luck Ryan. Keep the quality going.

 

Great news, being a long distance and regular customer.

 

Congratulations Nick and Ken, there had been a few rumors.
Best Wishes on your next adventure.

Hot Rod works has also purchased the rights to Rodsville and will be manufacturing the Rodsville quick change. They will be available the end of January!!!!

 

Anyone know how long it should take to get your work done? Ryan was nice enough to pick mine up on the way to California for a race he was attending in May but it's still not done???
I think 3-4 months is too long, I should have just brought a new Q/C from someone that sells them.

 

Learning Curve?

 

A friend of mine shipped his complete rear to him over a month ago. He's tried calling him several times. The guy won't answer his phone. I'd have seconds thoughts about him doing any work for me.

 

Nobody sells a new Halibrand (or replica) though.

Of course, there are the Winters and Kiwi (now Pacific) alternatives.

 

More fields than woods too

 

Yeah, I was thinking Winters
