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."

    "I had my high school car, a 1957 Chevy 2 door post, model 150 restored by Calvin and his crew in 2021 and 2022. He did an incredible job and made it into a treasure that I'll always be proud of. Calvin's attention to detail has made my car a classic to be admired by young and old alike at many car shows. I have garnered many trophies and shared a lot of stories over the last few years. Lots of fun!! Thanks Calvin!!"
