Hardcore Hot Rods

I have a '65 Mustang that was purchased by my father in 1965 and has always been in our family. My son and I took it to Al and Hardcore Hot Rods to do a restomod as a he vehicle still drove like it was from 1965. They bore out the 289 engine and increased the horsepower from 180 to around 425. That required an upgrade to power steering, fuel injection, brakes, transmission, rear frame modification and wheels. I also had them touch up the paint. I got it back two weeks ago and we couldn't be happier. The car still looks like a classic '65 beauty but now drives like a modern 2022. In fact, it's more like a modern race car than anything else. Al and his team are consummate professionals and I couldn't be happier with the work they did. I'm taking it back in the next few months to get the interior restored. Worth every penny.

I brought my 79 Triumph Spitfire to Hardcore Hot Rods from my deceased parents' farm in Illinois. I made a wise decision. I am extremely happy with the work performed on my vehicle which was both intricately detailed and time intensive. The car had been sitting in my father's garage for many years. Al and his team made my Triumph run the way that it did when I was 16 years old. Al and Jim, Al's manager, went out of their way to explain every step of the process. They went over and above to ensure they did exactly what they promised. They even made a special point of ensuring stickers that carried personal sentiment remained on the vehicle. They went out of their way to add those special touches, including a brand new carburetor from Germany. The Spitfire had a completely restored underside as well. Throughout the restoration process, all of my questions were patiently and thoughtfully answered. I could not have asked for greater service. I feel that Al and his team engaged in honesty at all times. They treated me with respect throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Al and his restoration team at Hardcore Hot Rods. They go over and above to ensure that their work is perfectly accomplished. They truly care about their customers at all levels. Thanks Hardcore Hot Rods!
