If all that were not enough, HR&CS also has a parts store that can get you just about anything you might need or want. While they do not keep a large parts inventory in stock, they are authorized dealers for over 80 after-market suppliers and will help you find and order whatever they need. Hot Rods also makes several proprietary products that are sold under the Deuce Steel brand name. One of these products is their ’32 Ford frame, which is specially designed to give the car a lower stance and provides extra room in the engine and passenger compartments.

Many of these projects are profiled on their website www.hotrodscustomstuff.com. Once there, you can browse over 800 pages of project photos and technical information. Created in-house, their website logged over 43 million hits last year and averages 2-3,000 unique visitors each day.
