We strive to stimulate all five senses with our creations. Our desire is to completely blow away all expectations and preconceived notions of what a custom, street machine, or hotrod should be.

'32 All Steel Roadster PickUp -

We've got a new project in the shop and have posted a few pics of this very cool pick up. Check out this cool rear suspension with quick-change rear end on a custom frame we are building for this all-steel, stretched 32 Ford Pick Up.  The owner is a big guy, so we are making the truck fit him. With our custom sway bar and coilover set up, this little truck will ride and handle like a champ. We'll be posting more photos as we continue this build, so stay tuned!  To see more pictures, click HERE or on the photo.

Custom Headers ...

Here at Dominator Street Rods, we can build headers for ANYTHING!  Check out what we have fabricated for a Jeep in our shop. It has an in-line 6 under the bonnet and now this Jeep has one of the coolest headers around. If you have an engine that is off the beaten path, don't worry, we can build cool headers for it.

 ...and this is what we started with.
