Shop Tour

Thanks for joining us on the tour around Pinkee's Rod Shop. You will see here how your dream car will be taken care of as your project progresses through the shop. Drop on in anytime to take a tour in person and see first hand how we pride ourselves in cleanliness, organization and quality.

Showroom - Walk in to the Pinkee's Rod Shop showroom and you'll be greeted by a 1950's Seeburg jukebox filled with classic tunes, classic gas station signs and lots of other cool bits of automobilia. There’s always a rotating display of cars through the showroom, you never know what you’ll see as you walk through the front door!

Viewing Room - When a customer commissions Pinkee's to build a car, this is the where ideas, thoughts, cool tricks, renderings and general creativity come together. Comfortable chairs, couches and a vintage soda machine all help to get the thought process flowing. Time spent in the Viewing Room is invaluable in building a one-of-a-kind creation.

Light Fab Shop - Mechanical work, chassis work, light fabrication, blasting, grinding and polishing take place in the light fab shop area. This shop also serves as the first stop for a car that is about to undergo a Pinkee’s makeover. Some of the equipment in this area includes a hydraulic shear, brake, mill, lathe, bead blaster and polisher.

Heavy Fab Shop - This is where the hardcore cutting, chopping and grinding take place. Tops are chopped, floors are made, doors are gapped and fitted, engines are set and transmission tunnels are cut. Some of our heavy metal working equipment includes a Pullmax metal former, power hammer, shear, shrinker/stretcher, disc grinder, bandsaw and a louver press.

Assembly Room - After all the hard work is done and the car returns from the paint shop, it’s unloaded into the assembly room to steer clear of metal shavings and grinding dust which could harm fresh, shiny paint. The assembly room is equipped with a toolbox filled with wiring supplies, shelves filled with shiny chrome and polished parts and a large supply of chrome nuts, bolts, and washers to secure everything on the car.
