Tods Hot Rods coming aboard - Been a custom builder, restorer performance for 25 years specializing in 60s 70s Muscle /Classics

Hello from Moorpark CA 93021.

This is Tod owner Tods Hot Rods.
25 yr builder, restorer performance upgrades for 60s 70s Muscle, Classics Vintage Trucks. Specializing in 60s Fastbacks, Panteras, Vintage Vettes OLD trucks.
My current personal fleet is restomod 65 Fastback, 68 F250, 70 F250 Shop Truck, 64 GMC, 94 Chevy Kodiak Custom Hauler.

I do build 4 or 5 a yr frame off Restorations for clients and sell about the same number annually of my own w Mecum and other internet media.

Something new for my shop has been selling off all the old original parts collections that had stacked up. So cleaning up, painting slight Restorations on the original parts sales has done pretty well so far the first yr.
3 employees and myself. 2500 Sq fr shop an office and an apt above my shop.
Just relocated here to Moorpark from Orange County CA just so I could eliminate the hours commuting. I will say witho
ut hesitation that to walk down 14 stairs to go to work is nothing short of spectacular.
Not here to solicit work, just to participate as Muscle car Fastback Ford CAR and truck owner. I may list some parts for sale if that's allowed I don't quite yet. I enjoy getting those to others who can use them on their projects. That's how I can help and happy to answer questions when I can.
It's been been a gravy 25 years when you build and own what you love

Regards

Tod

Hello all,

Well relocating my shop up to Moorpark from Artesia has been just awesome. Big shop 2500 ft a nice office and studio apt up in second floor is everything Id hoped for. To not commute in my Fastback or 70 f250 in So Orange County Ca traffic ( the worst ) spending hours on the freeway and now.. I can walk downstairs to tinker at night anytime if I cant sleep, or just sit amongst the cars I own and building to sell and get creative on finishes or materials, no longer commuting dropped my blood pressure and stress massively. Im very lucky to do be able to do something for work and a career that has never once felt like a job. Now I get to walk downstairs to do this... Greatful as all heck and very fortunate. My employees are happier as well. Being single now with kids in college, this live work combo is beyond amazing. Some pics from my shop, the cars and trucks are being built to sell.... Mecum sales have been a bit soft as of late since pandemic, but if you build for the market as I do, keep the number under a 100k quality, Resto Mod styled builds w a little flair always sells. Continuing to find these fixer buys is getting challenging however.

Appreciate passionate car people.. sometimes I lose the attachment and the emotion and joy that most of you feel for your whips but thats just part of selling them. Finding a buyer who loves what Ive built, thats the happiness. That and my 65 Fastback w the 5.0 Coyote and a turbo. She's a keeper.

Here are a few pics of the shop, the cars and trucks Im building to sell and loving living above my office and shop.

Petal to the metal...
