Trust Scott’s Hotrods To Make Your Dream Ride A Reality

Scott’s Hotrods is dedicated to producing exceptional, coach-level custom Street Rods, Hot Rods and Pro Touring rides.  Meticulous attention to detail, progressive design and master fabrication by highly skilled master fabricators.  Scott’s does not do restorations.  Restorations are boring.  If you are going to spend the time and money to build a car or truck, why not make it bad ass with technology from this century.

Why Is Scott’s Hotrods Different?

We build vehicles to not only look good parked at a car show, but to perform and handle like a brand new sports car.  The backbone of any vehicle is the chassis and suspension.  If the chassis is weak and the vehicle rides and handles like a wagon, it doesn’t matter how pretty it is.  Scott’s Hotrods ‘n Customs IS Quality, Engineering, Creativity & Workmanship. 100% TIG Welded, 100% American Made, 100% Bad Ass.

Every Scott’s Hotrods IFS comes with a lifetime guarantee because of a refusal to use inferior materials. American Sourced materials include 1-1/8”x1/4” wall DOM seamless tubing is used to make ALL of Scott’s Hotrods A-Arms and Link Bars. They are machined and tapped for full thread engagement of our CNC machined Stainless Steel Rod Ends that are all made in-house. 2”x4”x3/16” wall tubing is used for our crossmembers & frame rails and are all 100% TIG welded for superior rigidity and strength. PLUS, TIG welds look prettier.

How To Choose A Weld-On or Bolt-On IFS

Scott’s manufactures Weld-On Independent Front Suspension kits for any year/make/model vehicle from 1925-1987 starting at $3,075.  We can even build an IFS to your custom specs for your custom chassis.  Scott’s manufactures select Bolt-On Kits starting at $3,243 a ’48-’54, ’55-’59 Chevy Trucks & ’63-’87 Chevy C10 Trucks.

Scott’s IFS Kits are worth every penny because NOBODY ELSE builds a stronger, higher quality or better kit AND none look nearly as good.  You can literally see the quality.  If you do not have a vehicle that we manufacture a Bolt-On kit for, you will have to go with a Weld-On kit.

Why Choose Scott’s Hotrods?

Justin Scott Padfield started Scott’s Hotrods ‘n Customs when he was 19-years-old in a small 3,000-sq/ft shop in Ventura, CA.  It quickly grew over the next few years to roughly 7,500-sq/ft with an additional 10,000-sq/ft shop behind the first.  The owner of the property was forced to sell and Scott’s moved its entire operation to the neighboring town of Oxnard, CA in 2005.  This building was about 8,000-sq/ft and was quickly bursting at the seams. 

After years of diligent searching, Scott’s moved everything–and the employees–2,240-miles across the country to Knoxville, TN in April 2018.  This new shop is over 20,000-sq/ft on 3.6-acres, just 2-miles from Downtown Knoxville! In the Fall of 2022, an additional 12,000sq/ft building was erected next door that now houses all of the Project Vehicles giving the manufacturing side of the business much more room to expand production in the main building. As Scott’s Hotrods ‘n Customs continues to expand its already wide range of services, a Custom Paint Shop was added to the mix in the Spring of 2023.  This 8,000sq/ft shop is just 35 minutes away in Friendsville, Tennessee.

The team at Scott’s Hotrods has built many of the top rod’s seen at shows around the country, numerous magazine cover cars and countless tech articles over the years. The suspension and chassis manufacturing part of the business has grown substantially over the years and the custom hotrod part of the shop hasn’t slowed either.
