Driven by Craftsmanship, Fueled by Passion

At IFS Hot Rod, we’re all about bringing your dream car to life with passion and precision. Situated on a few acres in the middle of nowhere, our shop offers a quiet, private space where our custom car experts can focus on the details of your project. Whether it’s mechanical repairs, bodywork, or full overhauls, our clients love the discretion and care we give to their vehicles, ensuring every build is a true masterpiece.

Welcome to our small, family-owned custom automotive shop in the heart of Michigan — where craftsmanship, creativity, and engineering come together to build truly one-of-a-kind vehicles.

With a Bachelor’s degree in engineering and over 23 years of experience as a machinist and CNC programmer, we approach every project with a unique mix of technical knowledge and hands-on skill. This engineering background plays a key role in the design, development, and fabrication process — ensuring everything we build isn’t just beautiful, but built to perform with precision and durability.

We offer a wide range of services, including:

• Full Custom Builds
• Classic Car Restorations
• Custom Fabrication (Mild to Wild)
• Body & Paint
• Interior & Electrical Work
• Performance Upgrades
• Engine and Suspension Tuning
• CNC Machining of Custom Parts
• Powder Coating and Finishing

Every project is personal. We work closely with our customers through every step of the process — listening, collaborating, and creating something that reflects your vision down to the last detail. Whether it’s a complete ground-up build or a small performance upgrade, our goal is the same: unmatched quality, done right the first time.

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter builds. We believe in craftsmanship that lasts, passion you can feel, and cars that turn heads for all the right reasons.

Reviving Classics With Unrivaled Skill

We’ve earned our spot as “the guy” for custom cars because we don’t just build vehicles-we bring dreams to life. Every project gets the attention it deserves, with care and precision from start to finish. We listen to what our clients want, then exceed their expectations. Whether it’s a hot rod, muscle car, or something truly one-of-a-kind, we treat every build like it’s our own. Customers walk away surprised, and that’s exactly how we like it.
