WHY CHOOSE US

At Calvin Customs & Hot Rod Repair, we not only restore classic automobiles—we build them too. Our custom creation, the Tubester, was featured in the 2019 SEMA Car Show as part of the prestigious "Battle of the Builds." Today, four of our locally built vehicles are proudly on display at The Garage, the car museum in Salina, KS.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

  • "My wife and I were out in our 1953 Chevy pickup when it refused to start. I contacted Calvin from Calvin’s Customs. Even though I’ve never formally been a customer of theirs, they still came out to help me. My truck was towed to their shop where they worked on it until they found the problem and solved it for me. I highly recommend them and have had my truck added to their list for future customization. Everyone I’ve spoken to give great reviews and recommend Calvin and his crew I’m looking forward to having them build the truck I’ve always wanted."

    David Higgins
  • "1982 Chevy k10 floor and hub repair. Thank you guys for what you do, the floor had rust holes and around the 4x4 panel, could see the ground. And you guys fixed the seat spring that adjusts the seat. Thank you and my daughter thanks you! Great communication and quick repair."
