MORE ABOUT HGHR

In today's Hot Rod world it is extremely hard to come up with cool ideas that have never been done. Although we've had some success doing this with our previous hot rods, at High Gear Hot Rods our goal is to continue challenging our creativity with each new project. No matter how hard this seems to be we believe that with enough hard work and dedication it is possible to raise our standards with each new build. With a combined 40+ years of automotive experience we have learned the importance of creative details and proper execution. Don't get us wrong, just because a car has a new idea or an extreme level of detail doesn't mean it will be a trendsetter. We believe the magic comes from the combination of new ideas, attention to detail and the overall look, whether is is a primered beater or a Ridler contender. 

Although we have history of building trucks, we have a diverse interest in all things automotive. Whether it's a fenderless hot rod, an old school custom, a contemporary street machine, or a slammed late model our addiction knows no prejudice. Check out the photos in the photo gallery for some insight on our build style.
