Squid's Rod Shop

🦑 New project in the shop—a 1930 Ford Model A. We’re known for building hot rods, but we have just as much respect for the originals. This one is staying true to its roots as we get it back to running and driving like it should. 🦑

🦑 Classic style, modern comfort. This ’62 Chevy C10 now cruises like a new truck with a late-model reupholstered interior, heated seats, cruise control, a backup camera, and doors that open and close with the feel of a modern luxury vehicle…and that’s just the beginning. 🦑

🦑 Custom inner fenders taking shape for the Coyote-powered ’63 Ford Falcon. Every panel is hand-fabricated for a clean, seamless engine bay that looks as good as the rest of the build. Precision craftsmanship in every detail. 🦑

🦑 Quick turnaround on the ’68 Ford Torino GT! We got everything dialed in, wrapped up the details, and sent it back home to its owner. There’s nothing better than getting another classic back on the road where it belongs. 🦑

🦑 One day we’re building custom hot rods, the next we’re bringing a vintage sports car back to top form. This ‘69 Porsche 911S is in for a tune-up, brake service, suspension work, and electrical repairs. Our team’s broad skill set keeps all kinds of classics on the road. 🦑

🦑 A few cool upgrades on the ’62 Chevrolet C10: late-model truck seats and center console, a new Momo steering wheel with a custom C10 horn button, billet door handles, gauges, and a custom tailgate latch system. Modern comfort and custom details without losing the truck’s character. 🦑

🦑 Fabrication work on the underside of the ’70 Dodge Charger hood this week. We had to create clearance for the air box, and the finished metalwork came out incredibly clean. Tight details, smooth transitions, and craftsmanship that looks factory. 🦑

🦑 This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Most importantly, we thank the families who carry that sacrifice every day. Squid’s Rod Shop will be closed Monday and will reopen Tuesday. 🦑
