From a two-car garage to a full-service build shop

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.

“Just wanted to tell you that the car now runs perfect for me. I like it a lot better now and much more smooth and easier to drive. Good choice of cam shaft.”

Steve — Engine Build Customer

“Good morning Darryl, just wanted to say thanks — brakes work like a charm, car running great. Have a great day amigo.”

John — Brake & Mechanical Customer

“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.”

Craig — Alignment Customer, 1967 Dodge Dart

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

Mike — Race Engine Customer

“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.”

Gordon — Full Build Customer
