Custom Builds

When you choose Scot Rods Garage as a partner for your build we don’t take that honor for granted. We’re here to be as involved as you need from sourcing all the parts you need for your home build, or working with you to determine a plan and budget for us to see the project through completion, and anything in between.

Modern Powertrains

Classic cars have more drivetrain options available today than ever before. With the LS, Coyote, and Hemi engine platforms and the countless custom performance builders these days, getting a modern drivetrain for your classic ride has never been more accessible.

Disc Brakes

When it comes to a hot rod there are very few things more important than the ability to stop quickly and safely. Upgrading your 60+-year-old drum brakes to a disc brake system can give you lighter, easier-to-service, more consistent, and effective stopping power. 

Metal Fabrication

Sometimes, the demands of the build dictate repairing old metal or fitting a powertrain that wasn’t intended for the factory body. That’s where our master fabricators can fill the void and create the perfect solution that makes the installation correct and looks like it came that way from the factory.

Small Blocks & Big Blocks

LS and Coyote swaps are all the rage, but there’s still a lot to love regarding a nice small or big block motor. Whether it’s a crate motor or a complete engine built to spec, carbureted, or fuel injected, whatever the project calls for we have you covered.

Our Story

Scot Rods Garage was established in 2011 by Scot McMillan Jr & Jeff Dunlap. Both have been building hot rods since before they can remember and know what it takes to get the job done. CORRECT IS THE ONLY OPTION! isn’t just our motto it’s a way of life!!

When we aren’t in the shop bringing our customer’s dream cars to life we are building and/or racing our own hot rods. We don’t just design “jewelry boxes” either. Every car that comes into our shop is treated with the mindset that it’s going to be driven and perform better than it ever did when it was new. That means it has to be functional, reliable, safe, and correct… no exceptions.

Custom Builds

Whether you are restoring a classic car to its former glory, building a street/track car or somewhere in between, theres no such thing as a cookie cutter build here at Scot Rods Garage. Every car and customer is unique with their own set of expectations and resources. We treat every project that comes through our doors the same and our process is simple…. communicate, communicate, communicate.

Metal Fabrication

Metal Fabrication

So what happens when that 60+ year old metal just isn’t going to cut it and a replacement panel isn’t available? Here at Scot Rods Garage we just make it, and in most cases it’s stronger than it was from the factory. Unlike a lot of shops we don’t “just let the body shop handle that” because we believe that even the parts you don’t see are just as important as the parts you do see. Those are often the details that allow a build to stand the test of time and meet the demands that customers expect out of their hot rods.

Chassis and Suspension

Chassis & Suspension

We partner with and install some of the best chassis and suspension systems around. As a preferred dealer for the biggest names in the business we have seen it all and know what works best for each situation with a direct line to the manufacturers. When the situations arise where a one-off solution is needed, we have extensive in-house expertise engineering custom chassis and suspension design. There’s no situation we aren’t prepared for.

What our customers are saying

Dave Gillem

In an industry where it’s hard for a customer to know ahead of time which shop to trust their car with, Scot Rods Garage stands head and shoulders above the rest. I initially brought my Chevelle to Scot and Jeff to have a full RideTech coilover suspension and steering upgrade done, which they did an unbelievable job on. The car rides better than I ever imagined. Throughout the entire process, Scot was great about sending me updates, photos and keeping me well informed. I never once wondered what was being done, what the status was or if the timeline was still on track because before I had a chance to even think about it Scot would text or call with pictures and updates. And it didn’t end there. When I received my invoice, it was very detailed and broken down by each day showing what was done and what each block of labor was charged for. It’s impossible for me to overstate the importance and confidence this gives a customer, and what it says for a shop that is able to even put that extra effort into even their invoices.

When I dropped the car off I also mentioned a few other items that were a concern to me as I had just spent tens of thousands of dollars at another shop only to have my car run worse (…and more) in nearly every way possible. Not only did they take the time to hear my concerns and offer some advice, they went the extra mile and looked into them while the car was in their shop. Not only were they able to address nearly every issue I had, they also found several issues (some fairly major and safety-related) that I would have never known about until it was too late. As Scot did with the suspension work, communication was unbelievable. I was sent photos of everything they found with detailed explanations and recommendations for repair. Scot took the time to answer every question I had and was always very honest and upfront advising me when an item they found wasn’t a “must fix” but he wanted to make sure I knew about it.

There’s a lot of shops out there claiming a lot of things, showing a lot of pictures of nice cars in their social media posts, saying they have all this experience, leaders of this or that, but I’m here to tell you Scot and Jeff at Scot Rods Garage actually live up to the claim. There’s a reason why they are a dealer for 90+ brands — even the parts companies know who they want to do business with and who they don’t. If you are looking for a real partner to work with for your car then Scot Rods Garage is the only place you need to look.

My only regret is that I didn’t find them sooner to do my LS swap, it would have saved me a lot of stress, aggravation, and money.

These guys here are the real deal. Other shops claim they do good work. These guys do excellent work, and it shows. My son took his 65 mustang in for work. The attention to detail was off the charts. After a walk through of the shop you can see the how true professional people here are. Need a show room ride. Then these are the people you want to do it. Awesome job yall.

Visited Scot’s shop today. Just showed up from Virginia. Not knowing what to expect, I was greeted by a young lady and Scot. We were invited in for what I thought would be to purchase some merchandise, but instead was given a tour of the shop and shown all the cars and trucks,(work in progress). Appreciated the warm welcome and the time taken to show us around with great conversation.
Would definitely recommend Scot’s Rods to anyone wanting their hot rod worked on.
Thanks again! Best part of our day!

I had Scot do some work for me and was impressed with the experience and the results. He went above and beyond for me and completely exceeded expectations. He’s clearly knowledgeable and takes pride in his work, as he should. I will most certainly be returning in the future.

Scot, Jeff and Kelly are the real deal. Had some work done on my 69 Camaro, I am very pleased with the results and look forward to having some more work done by this shop.
