Hot Rod Shops - Detroit's Dream Factories

With their OE work slowing down to a snail's pace, Detroit's hottest hot rod shops are looking for your businessThere's a fairly well-kept secret in the Motown car biz: The factory dream cars-concepts, prototypes, show cars, affinity vehicles, you name 'em-often are not built by the automakers themselves. Instead the OEs rely on a small group of highly specialized fabrication shops based around the Detroit area. These companies are among the few entities in the world with the skills and resources to turn a pile of raw materials into a complete, functional automobile. By that we mean not just bodies and chassis from scratch, but every last component: taillamps, instrument clusters, glass, interior trim, and exterior emblems, all in the finest show-quality detail. Everything. And depending on the deadline and budget, these shops can often create a finished car in as little as 90 days from start to finish.
