Street Rods

Custom Built Street Rods, Custom Cars & Trucks, Made To Your Specifications.

At Jeff Lilly Restorations we specialize in building custom Street Rods to your specifications. A Street Rod has often been referred to as a vehicle built in 1949 or earlier, but that is looked at differently in the minds of many people. The need to customize and personalize one's favorite body style to a piece of rolling art is a fast growing trend.

A Rod or Custom project can be any body style that your heart is attached to. At Jeff Lilly Restorations we build Custom Cars on 1932 to 1973 vehicles. Before we slice any metal or turn a single wrench we can design your complete project in 3-D for a real to life rendering if you desire. Our in house fabrication shop can build a custom chassis or any part that your mind can imagine.

Our super straight body work can be examined from any angle to view the consistent 3/16 panel gaps and a ripple free painted surface. Any changes from factory stock are agreed on with your signature approval. Street Rods are our passion and combining the latest components with custom fabricated parts for your project is vital to deliver you a one of a kind machine. We will build your project with the right stance, ride height, wheel / tire combination, interior design and paint scheme to a final product you will be proud of for a lifetime. When having a project built it makes sense to visit a facility in person and meet the people who will be building your project first hand to inspect the finished work allowing you to make the correct choice.

Once you witness our system and see the quality workmanship our street rod builders perform you will be confident that you have chosen the right company. For those of you who are pressed for time and simply can not get away, we have put this website together for you so that you can be here with out setting foot out of your office. Please take the time to surf the entire site and check out our fabrication shop page to get an idea of our custom capabilities.
