Born Free 14 Winner “Builders pick” Harley Davidson “Design team award” We built this bike to be a contender at the Born Free show. We ended up winning top awards and a trip to the Mooneyes Custom bike and rod show in Yokohama Japan. Dec 2023!

This bike was built for Dylan Howell. We went for a classic chopper look - classy with a little attitude. We added our touch with a handful of one-off parts. Joel at Hogs and Rice sprayed it champagne gold and Luke at Union Motorcycle Classics gave it the final tune-up. I am loving the way this one turned out.

Cory Wight approached us with a concept to build a traditional 60s style chopper. He sent us a 64 Panhead motor, and we took off from there. We built many custom parts for this bike, including a sissy bar, handlebars, mid-controls, and foot pegs. We sent the fuel tank to Scott at Chemical Candy Customs, where he laid down some stunning paint. Brandon at Interior Revolutions upholstered the seat while we worked to chrome and polish everything else. The result was a bike ready to show or go.

Pete Reed’s 1913 Indian Boardtrack Racer is all-time. Pete found this motorcycle stuffed away in an attic in New York. He brought it to Idaho and spent the next ten years restoring it. We worked on the fabrication, mechanics, and assembly. This is a very rare and beautiful piece of history and is easily amongst the most beautiful motorcycles ever made.

This is Matt’s personal chopper project. It all started 20 years ago, before he dreamt of owning a shop. He sold everything he owned to become an owner of a 1959 Panhead. It’s a 93-cubic inch Harley motor that has the perfect amount of power. Since then, Matt has taken the bike down to the frame and fabricated almost everything on the bike. It’s been all over the west and he loves this bike more now than ever before. It’s been featured in Chopper Magazine, Dice Magazine, and featured as one of the top 10 Panheads of all time on Bike EFX. The paint was designed and sprayed by Scott Hoepker at Chemical Candy Customs in Texas.

Have you ever heard of a basket case? This build for Ken Parsons was the true definition of one. Ken brought us boxes full of pieces and parts that had been disassembled years ago. We went to work sorting through everything, much to our surprise was that almost everything was there! We cleaned and assembled all the parts until this sweetass Sportster appeared.

We were commissioned to build this bike for Gunther Meur. His goal was to set a record in the 750 AVG class at Bonneville Salt Flats. The motor was built by Franz and Grubb in Hollywood, California. We completed the project and had it all loaded up to take it to Bonneville, but the event was cancelled due to heavy rains. Fast forward two years and the bike was sold to the Young Guns Speed Shop in Laux, Switzerland. The owners of Young Guns flew to the event in Bonneville, jumped on the bike, and set a new world record! Dan “Druff” Irving from Franz and Grubb had the bike dialed.

This is a bike was built for Rocky Solomon. We started with a wishbone frame and fabricated custom pipes, sissy bar, mid-controls, and pretty much everything else. The tank was peaked and then sent to Scott Hoepker at Chemical Candy Customs. Scott worked his magic by laying down deep colors of blue. Joel at Rice and Hogs molded the frame and gave the frame a nice fade job. Rocky’s bike was recently featured in Dice Magazine. Rocky still owns the bike and it was recently featured in the window of Belmont Barber Shop in downtown Boise that is owned by his son, Ryan.

This was a personal project that started out as an ugly duckling. I bought an old worn out 1980 Shovelhead and within days we had it torn down. We stretched the frame four inches and installed a custom narrowed hardtail. The best part was customizing the oil tank to have hidden oil lines. After that came the custom-built sissy bar, gas tank, and mid-controls. We then re-worked the motor by installing a new top end, splitting the rockers and drilling the rocker shafts to change up the oil flow to the primary side. The paint was done by our favorite place, Chemical Candy Customs in Houston, Texas. The Shovel was displayed at the One Moto Show in Portland, Oregon and has raced around many old Idaho back roads. We wanted to build a show bike that was meant to be ridden.

Curtis Pouge contacted us to build this 54 KH. We fell in love with this project as soon as we laid our eyes on it. It had a Denver’s frame and someone had chromed the heads back in the day. We went to work fabricating and assembling. The understated black and chrome really set the look.

Victorio Piva’s Shovelhead was built as a tribute to his cousin, Duck, that previously owned the bike but unfortunately passed away in a motorcycle accident. Duck was the real deal and Victorio wanted to transform this bike into something that would have made his cousin proud. Duck already had the stroker Shovelhead motor running well, so we worked on giving it the right look. Scott Hoepker from Chemical Candy Customs laid down some awesome traditional flames. This bike looks great and rips. Victorio is the coolest dad and picks up his kids from school on this chopper. Duck would be proud.

This car was a personal project that ended up in Moscow, Russia. It started out as an old rusty body found out in a field. We built a custom chassis, installed a Buick 401 Nailhead Engine, a Turbo 400 Transmission, and a Ford 9-inch rear axle. Everything on this hot rod was custom-built. It was driven, not trailer’d, to the Bonneville Salt Flats for quite a few years before being sold.

Jeff Wiley approached us with a vision for a fast and tough Shovelhead. Jeff had a 93-cubic inch S&S motor, Acme choppers frame, and some narrow glide Sportster forks. We got to work fabricating the sissy bar, handlebars, seat pan, tank mounts, motor mount, and custom pipes. Jeff is a skilled fabricator and built the custom forward controls that finished the bike perfectly. Scott at Chemical Candy Customs handled the paint. We continue to be blown away by his talent. Once the chrome returned to the shop, we assembled the bike and Jeff rode off into the sunset.

Wendi contacted us to build this 55 Chevy, which was her grandfather’s truck. Her grandfather gave it to her when she was 16. She recalls driving the truck as a teenager up to Bogus Basin, our local ski hill. We disassembled the truck down to the frame and after finishing up the rust repair; we welded in a Mustang II front clip. We installed disk brakes, power steering, power brakes, and a new Chevy 350 Crate engine to make it drive like a modern day truck. Everything was painted, powder coated, chromed, and polished. Wendi is often seen driving her truck around Boise with a huge smile on her face.

Rocky had always wanted a hot rod when he ran across this 1-ton 1936 Ford truck in the back of a farmer’s field. A deal was struck and it was delivered to our shop for a complete restyle. We built a full custom chassis, chopped the top seven inches, and channeled the body to get it over the frame. After that, we installed a 350 cubic-inch Chevy engine and an automatic transmission. We found an old utility trailer that had a nice 1936 Ford bed we pulled and used. Dave Lester laid down the paint. The result was one badass Ford truck!

This was a fun project. A friend of ours had this all original 35 stashed away for many years. It came up for sale and we thought it was a good opportunity to get it cleaned up, get it running, and find an owner that would take care of it for years to come. It turned out to be a very clean, reliable car that could be in a parade or museum.

This 51 custom Shoebox Ford was originally built for Rocky Solomon but is now seen cruising the streets of Moscow, Russia. We started by chopping the top by seven inches and gave the B-pillars a heavy slant to accent the slope of the roof. Rocky went with a 383 Stroker Chevy Motor that we installed with a turbo 350 transmission. We heavily modified the suspension to drop to the ground using an air ride suspension. This car is a beauty.

Ralph Taylor called us to let us know he had purchased an Olds 442 that was sitting alongside the road. His dream was to have a car that would go 100mph to California with the A/C cranked while he and his wife listened to books on tape. Our solution was a 525 HP LS3 crate motor with a six-speed manual transmission. We installed a QA1 coilover suspension kit to keep it hugging the road, along with front and rear disk brakes. We decided that a Vintage Air A/C system was the only choice to keep Ralph and his wife cool while out on the road. The Olds 442 was transformed into a classic car that drove and handled as well as a new Corvette.

We built this 1930 Model A for Steve Taylor. The goal was to turn this car into the hot rod that he had always dreamt about. We built a chassis out of stamped 1932 rails, chopped the top four inches, and installed a 400-hp 383 Blueprint Stroker engine. We added many custom details on this build and exceeded all the owner’s expectations. Steve drives this car daily and has also entered it in the Boise Roadster Show where he won second place for best hot rod.

Stan Darger’s Model A was initially started by Sean Rodgers and then it was transferred to our shop to finish up some fabrication work and to get it safely on the road. We installed a 283 SBC motor that was matched up with a four-speed manual transmission. Stan is a true hot rodder at heart. There were rumors that he would drive this car to church every Sunday.

Mark Grund brought in this all original 1979 Trans Am. It was a very solid car from the start, but the drive train was 40 years old and needed to be restored. We removed the motor and transmission, sent them off to get it rebuilt, and dove into the suspension by replacing all of its moving parts. After cleaning everything up by replacing parts and adding modifications, we made it better than new. Mark ended up with one mean driving car that drives and runs as good as it looks.

Brian Gable had an idea to turn his 39 Chevrolet sedan into a mild custom that left you wondering exactly what model it was. We chopped the roof a mild two inches and slanted the A-pillars forward to give it a much smoother look. To get a better flow from the rear window to the deck-lid, we removed four inches of crown and we customized the grill, bumpers, and dash. We installed a high horse-powered LS motor and a new coilover suspension system. Brian did a great job handling almost all the mechanical work. Brian built this car to drive and we are happy that it has won many awards. Bryan even raced the Sun Valley Tour de Force.

2020 SEMA Best in class. SEMA Final four builders award. Bryan Thompson approached us to build this 1934 Ford truck. He brought us a very unique stretched and chopped cab that set off the attitude of this build. Our goal was to take this cab and turn it into a timeless traditional hot rod. We started by building a custom frame and continued the build with many one-off stainless parts. The traditional look was finished off when Tony Gabica laid down the beautiful high-gloss black paint. Inside the cab, Andrew’s Upholstery stitched up an alluring design. Bryan and his 1934 Ford have won many awards, including Best Hotrod at the 2020 Autorama Salt Lake City show.
