About Us
From a two-car garage to a full-service build shop
D&R Hot Rod Shop started in a two-car garage and grew into a full-service custom build shop. After years of operating from a physical location, we made the decision to sell the shop and refocus on what matters most — building cars. Today, D&R Hot Rod Shop is a lean, focused operation. We take on custom projects and engine builds, and we're proud to be an authorized distributor for Lane Automotive / Motorstate performance parts and Renegade Race Fuel.
Our approach
Every project starts with a conversation. We want to understand what you're trying to build before a single tool comes out of the box.
From there, we plan the build, source parts, and keep you in the loop the whole way through.
No walk-in hours — call for appointment. Just serious builds and quality parts for people who care about their cars as much as we do.

“I still tell people who did the Dart alignment, 20 years ago and it's never been touched. I can let go of the steering wheel and that car still tracks straight down the road.”

“Won the Vinny Cup in Semi Pro and second in Sportsman for Saturday's race.”

“Hey Darryl, I have to thank you again for all your hard work you put into putting my car back together. I've had multiple compliments on the car and the drivetrain and I always mention your name and the quality work — and I must say it's the fastest car I've ever driven.”
