2014 SVT RaptorCab corners and rockers

“Had a great experience with this team for restoring my 2014 SVT Raptor with the dreaded cab corner and rocker rust. Other shops told me to just buy a new truck and this team took it on without hesitation with the customer at mind. I was deployed in Iraq and Ryan kept me constantly up to date with the progress. The work is solid. Great fabrication work and welding Il be going back for more work. Excellent work guys!!”

2007 Cadillac STS-VStrut towers and a frame rail

“Ryan and his team did an awesome job repairing my 07 Cadillac STS-V. I bought the car knowing it had issues but the rusted out strut towers and frame rail weren’t ones I thought were going to be a problem. When I finally reached out to Ryan to get the rust sorted before getting my MD inspection redone, he was professional but still easy to talk to and prompt with responses. We were able to get the work scheduled for just a couple days out and it only took them a couple more to get everything straightened out. I have been very impressed with the workmanship of the repairs, Ryan and his team went above and beyond and even addressed a couple of spots that I hadn’t mentioned as needing to be addressed. Overall I would fully recommend them if you have any rust concerns and I will definitely be going back should any future projects need metalwork.”

Toyota TacomaFrame sections

“My Tacoma had severe rust on parts of the frame. The dealer said the truck was only good for parts. I found out about Ryan and Hand Formed Hot Rods. Ryan and his crew did a fantastic job removing the bad parts and welding on new ones. They even custom fabricated some of the frame sections. I think the frame is now stronger than ever before. Ryan had excellent communication on the process and sent pictures of the work. I highly recommend his shop.”

Jeep TJFrame

“The Frame on my Jeep TJ was rusted. Ryan was amazing. They got the frame back in shape again, strong and solid. When it comes to understanding and repairing structural automotive parts, I don’t think there is anywhere better. Very happy with the results and the service. Highly recommend. The way Ryan put it was he does the things that body shops don’t want to do and in some cases don’t know how to do. He gives your vehicle back it’s structural strength… and while he can do body work, his wheel house is getting the vehicles frames and supports rebuild/repaired and ready for the body shop. Truly and expert in his field.”

2000 JeepBody and frame, for inspection

“I can’t say enough good things about Ryan’s team at Handformed Hotrods. My 2000 Jeep needed some serious metal repair work on both the body and the frame… It’s clear they take immense pride in their work. Thanks to their dedication and skill, my Jeep not only looks fantastic but is structurally sound and passed the rigorous safety inspection. They didn’t just fix a problem, they brought my Jeep back to life. And they turned around the repairs in less than a week… If you have a classic, a project, or a tough repair job that requires expert metal and body work, Handformed Hotrods is the trusted place to go. Highly, highly recommend!”

Toyota 4RunnerFrame

“Ryan and the guys are a top notch shop! My 4Runner had a terrible frame rust and I was about to put it to pasture but a serendipitous call brought me to his shop. After a 10 min discussion I knew he would be the one that could save it. Very talented and capable crew and Ryan has a winner attitude. They do amazing work! Highly recommended!”

Frame repairTo pass inspection

“Ryan was so great to communicate with. I was in a bind ( needed frame repair to pass inspection) and Ryan was eager to accommodate my needs according to my short availability due to my hectic work schedule. I look forward to working with Handforned Hotrods in the future. I can’t thank you enough Ryan.”

A restoration projectMetal fabrication

“After finding my restoration project needed some precise metal fabrication work outside of my skill level I reached out to Handformed Hotrods. The owner, Ryan, contacted me following up and immediately knew his team and him could handle the needed fabrication work. After dropping the car off Ryan kept me informed along the way, even uploaded progress photos to an online album to view. Handformed Hotrods exceeded my expectations across the board from work performed to customer service. If you needed metal fabrication work done, I definitely recommend these guys!”

A truckA hidden winch mount

“Bought and installed a winch and hidden winch mounting bracket. While I installed these 2 items myself, I needed some custom work to make the items still hidden and operational but accessible. Met and talked with several other advertised “custom” shops. They all had one kind of excuse or another why they couldn’t or wouldn’t make the installation complete and operational. Met with Ryan, while hesitant at first because of wiring involved , he took the challenge on. Dropped the truck off and on the 2nd day he called and all was completed and winch was working as designed with everything as requested. I was happy to have it up and running and him and his crew learned from it. Need custom work, don’t hesitate to talk to him. Highly recommend”
