About Midnight Hot Rods

Midnight Hot Rods specializes in building custom hot rods, street rods, and race cars out of Southeastern Wisconsin.

Projects we’re particularly proud of include a 1953 Chevrolet 454, and a Ford Model A.

We have the ability to build any type of car you may want. Have a look at our gallery of completed jobs. We have created everything from Pebble Beach Concours winning cars, a Chevy S-10 with an LS-1 engine, an RHD 1970 Triumph Stag, all the way to a VW Rabbit set up for road racing.

We are working hard to continue the momentum of our shop’s ever-improving specialization in vehicles intended for racing.
