Hot Rod Specialties, Indianapolis

Hot Rod Specialties, Indianapolis We are a full service hot rod shop dedicated to the restoration and customization of classic cars. Born in Detroit...Resurrected in Indianapolis.

We are a full service hot rod shop dedicated to high-end classic vehicles. Thank you for your interest in Hot Rod Specialties. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and let you know more about the capabilities of our team. With over 100 years of combined experience our team specializes in everything from general maintenance, full nut & bolt restorations, pro-touring, resto

mods,custom interiors, chassis and suspension, paint and body, custom header and exhaust fabrication, and even full custom turn key builds. We treat each car that comes into our shop as if it were our own. We have all owned and restored our own muscle cars and hot rods. It is because of this, that we understand the things you are going through on your classic car and are here to help you every step of the way, no matter how big or how small. Every aspect of work is performed in house, from tear down, body and paint, interior, to perfect reassembly. The only thing we do not do in house is internal engine work, we feel that is is best to leave that to the people that specialize in that. Although, we have aligned ourselves and work closely with several high quality machine shops and engine builders and can make recommendations depending on your individual needs. Customer care and attention to detail shows when we are finished. You will be polishing your pride and joy for many years to come, so we want you to know without a doubt that we provided the highest level of craftsmanship possible. Whether it is a simple tune up, installing Vintage Air, custom fabrication, paint and body, a new interior, or a full restoration, we would be happy to help you with your next project. If you have any questions, please contact us at 317-802-7762.

I really hate to do this, but we are out of options. Does anybody know how to get a hold of somebody at ? We're installing one of their 8 stack injection kits and the supplied throttle position sensor doesn't fit. We've been calling and emailing for weeks with no returned called or emails. We did get through once and was on hold so long the hold timed out and diconnected. We've tried multiple different sensors and cannot find one that fits. This is our first time using anything from Speedmaster and so far, it has not been a good experience.

The computer and harness they use if from a different company, who is well know and has great products. They have been nothing but helpful, but the one they normally use is not what Speedmaster is using for some reason.

Please share and comment away so maybe we can get their attention and resolve this issue!

Speedmaster, if you see this, it's 5:55 Eastern time July 16th, we are leaving the shop for the weekend in 5 minutes, please give us a call Monday or email to [email protected] Thank You!

We would like to congratulate our good friend and client, Dean Drake, on being chosen in the Top 10 Street Machine of the Year at the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association Nationals. You may remember his Cougar from when we put it on a chassis and did all the paint and body. We are proud to have been a part of it and look forward to seeing how well this car does now that it's made it's official debut. If you're in Columbus this wekeend be sure to stop and check it out! Good luck Dean!

We just got what appeared to be a beautiful 67 GTO in for some suspension upgrades,LS swap, and paint and body. The guys got it torn apart and over to the body shop side where they found this mess. This was done by a reputable shop about 25 years ago and has held up surprisingly well. But this is NOT the best way to replace a quarter, and definitely don't use over 1/4" of filler to hide bad metal work.

The 1970 Challenger is coming along nicely. Got the vinyl top on, doors hung and built, headliner is going in, then quarter windows and it'll be ready for interior and the rest of the glass.
