The original hot rods were old cars (most often Fords, typically Model Ts, Model As, or 1932 to 1934 Model Bs or V-8s) that had been modified by to reduce weight and improve aerodynamics.

Construction of a hot rod requires skills in mechanics, welding, and automotive paint and body work.  Oldham County Customs will perform all repairs on your hot rod, in excellence.  We will also build part, or all, of your hot rod for you, per your custom specifications.

Typical modifications include:

• modifying / replacing the transmission
• modifying / replacing brakes and steering
• changing wheels and tires for improved traction and handling

Due to the current contemporary movement of traditional hot rod builders, car clubs and artists who have returned to the roots of hot rodding as a lifestyle, people who own hot rods keep them clean and try to make them noticeable.  Let the professionals at Oldham County Customs maintain and repair your hot rod to keep it in showroom condition.

As the supply of original steel bodies dwindles to nothing, those who reject fiberglass replicas can buy new reproduction bodies. They are not actual antiques, but often are superior in some aspects such as build quality to original hot rod bodies.  Oldham County Customs will help build your hot rod with either fiberglass or steel replica.
