Built in 1985 this well equipped and secure 3500 square foot hot rod shop
is conveniently located one mile off Interstate 95 on the RI / CT line.

Every car we build is different.

Our fully adjustable chassis jig allows precise placement of engine, wheelbase, body, and front suspension in various configurations allowing quick and accurate set up's.

Our Laser alinment equipment allows us to precisely set up any chassis,
or identify bent or improperly built components.

Races are won and lost at the shop.

Spending the proper time setting up the chassis always pays off.
Not doing so will always lead to disappointments at the track.

Our TM Technology power hammers are a big time saver
when shaping custom sheet metal panels

This homemade helve hammer is powerful enough to
straighten a car bumper.

The two horsepower power feed mill gets a lot of use
making one off parts and shop tooling.

The P 5 Pullmax will quickly shrink sheet metal
and can be tooled to form many various shapes.

English wheel, used to shape compound curves in metal. Fenders, roofs, doors, quarter panels, hoods, scoops, and custom parts are created with the help of this equipment.

Sheet metal edge shrinker and stretcher.

Most all my equipment is on wheels
so a work station can easily be set up close to an ongoing project
to be as efficient as possible.

We are well equipped to handle any metal forming
job. Custom or OEM replacement panels..

Our South Bend lathe is handy for small machining operations.
We also have available to us 5 axis CNC machining centers for the more complicated projects.

Our tube bending area and syncrowave tig welder. Custom roll cages are designed and bent to properly fit your body style and are available in DOM mild steel or 4130 chrome molly No ill fitting kits used! Low profile oval exhaust systems up to 5" Dia. are fabricated to solve ground clearance problems on the low boys.

The assembly room is where all our engines and driveline components are built. This is a separate room from the rest of the shop to keep dust and dirt from contaminating new assemblys.

Engines in various stages of assembly are stored under plastic to provide an extra layer of protection and cleanliness.

Ken has over 25 years experience setting up ring and pinions. With narrowing jigs and gear indicators, he is completely tooled to get the job done the right way.

The twin post lift is also handy for removing bodies from their chassis.
This 34 is on it's way apart for paint.

We use the drive on lift for the rods that can't be scratched by lift arms. We also do our race car scaling and chassis tuning on this level area..
