It's all about the art.

The rolling kind. Our chosen medium. We all have something to put in. A rendering, a chassis, "tin" work, tuning. It's all there. And it's all an art.









Ironhead Sporty

Chick bikes. Sportsters are full girls. Blah Blah Blah. All a bunch of crap by guys who are too insecure to break away from the herd mentality. Not us. We definitely have a love for the "lowly" Sportster and have 2 builds underway right now. Here is the first. And just as you would suspect, it rocks a traditional style. What did you expect?

Hot Rod 101

It won't be long before we start the new Hot Rod 101 Winter Technical Series. If  you're not familiar, it is the classes we hold every year where we demonstrate various hot rod building techniques in a class type setting. This year our focus is on building a gasser! Here's the victim, a '53 Chevy. Check out all the class info on our site.

E&Js

There's just something about E&Js that screams HOT ROD, don't you think?

New Tshirts

Check out some of our new Tshirts. We have a "Victory Speed Equipment" 1958 logo shirt. "God is my Co-Pilot, but the Devil is my Crew Chief" shirts come in Men's and Women's sizes. "Catholic Girl Gone Bad" is for women only. And Kevin's official mantra... "Real Hot Rods Have 3 Pedals".

Little Deuce Coupe















Well sorta. When was the last time you saw a 1932 Plymouth PB coupe? They only made them for 6 months, so you may have never seen one... ever. This 60's survivor hot rod was stored in the owner's father's barn for about 30 years until one day the family decided to do something with it. What for us started as just a chassis job, has developed into a full build with way more subtle body modifications than one can even notice. But that is half the fun.

Freedom isn't Free



















It's no secret that we are supporters of the military here at HRCC, and that has nothing to do with politics. Kevin is a Desert Storm veteran and his father was in the USAAF during WWII. My father was in the Air Force in Vietnam, and my uncle was in the Air Force in Korea, as well as several family members who served in WWII. Freedom isn't free. America was built on the backs of hard working men and women and paid for in blood by those who sacrificed all for their country. If you see a veteran today, thank them. And remember that the real hereos are the ones that never came back.

Victory Speed Equipment 1958



Introducing our 1958 Victory Speed Equipment logo. Who doesn't want parts that are track tested by guys just like you?

Victory Header Flanges



Be sure to ask about Victory Header Flanges. Unlike muscle cars, there are endless engine/car combinations for hot rods and customs, making it almost impossible to buy something off the shelf. Or maybe you want to have your own unique headers, completely different from that dude at the end of your block. Look no further. 

Victory  has you covered! Check out the website.
