    Trying to make an online list (just for myself) which members run thier own shop, building rods... mainly on the left half of the nation. I might be organizing fun runs and shop hops in the future. If you run a shop please chime in, give me a web-link or just an address if you'd like... if not... have a lovely day!!!!!

    From Kansas City area (or close) to Cali.

    I own Midwest Kustoms, small part time shop me and a couple of other guys run as a side line. Usually have a coupe of Hot Rods in work . Would like to retire and do it full time but i don't want it to become a job. More fun this way.

    I own Cl***ic Body Works in Wellington, Kansas. We do restorations and build rods also. Don't do as much traditional or custom stuff as I would like but we have worked on some pretty cool stuff. We do what we can to keep the doors open. My youngest son runs the website and has put a lot of pics on there.

    I have a sideline shop, RustyHope near Orlando, Florida where I specialize in old Mopars. I do a lot of engine swaps, suspension rebuilds, disc conversions etc. I make the disc kits, dual intakes, dual exhausts, shock relocation kits. I'm currently building my 50 Plymouth wagon. I also have a 41 Plymouth coupe in the shop for complete drivetrain rebuild, all new suspension. I don't make my living at it, but it does support my car and keeps me sane. My site is www.rustyhope.com.
