What's been going on at Scotts Hotrods
I started a similar thread on anouther forum in which it turned out to be a hit a peak into our shop, our work and what we are about. The more shows I frequent with Scotts it amazes me on how many people think that we just manufacture parts and nothing else, or that we only build project cars and nothing else.
The reality is we are bothe we are a full install, turnkey car builder, and manufacture of chassis, 4-links, IFS kits and sub-frames and hundreds of other related products. So with that said I am going to update this thread as often as I can with current projects, past projects, product updates, and our chassis....
We have had some high profile builds come out of here like the 2008-2010 GNRS AMBR award winners but we also have alot of killer projects that go un noticed here are a couple one of which is a 65 mustang we built for a customer only to be shown once in Columbus then came back to California where it has sat in our customers private collection and the other being a 55 chevy 210 which has only been to three show 2008 Sema which it took a GM design award, 2009 GNRS, and then this year we had it in our booth at GG Del Mar...
Enjoy Guys
55 210 built by Scotts Hotrods, Interior by Ron Mangus, Sports a 555 big block with a kinsler injection system put out over 700hp our customer ran a 9.56 1/4 and decided it was fast enough...
65 pro-tour inspired Mustang
and here is what she is sitting on a full Scotts Mustang Chassis
and now a couple current projects
65 Chevelle
We built the entire chassis on coil overs to have a 4" ground clearance rideheight worked the trans tunnel and floor pan so the rockers sat flush with the frame
and a neat little nova with a few things done
That is all for now I will keep it updated as long as you all stay interested and stay tuned...

Looking good Jon. I hadn't seen that mustang done, although I knew of it, looks like it came out super killer!

Awesome rides!!! I've loved that 55' since I first saw it awhile ago...My 8yr old son goes walking by while I'm looking at the pics and he goes: "Wow Dad, that Black car is super awesome!!!" I guess he likes the Mustang...

Fantastic design and great fabrication work! Love the smoothed look on the 55, Stang, and roadster. The stance on the Chevelle is great! What's the project rendering for the Nova look like?

A lot of shops are bringing their project cars out to run hard at the track and on road courses now. The Roadster Shop, Barry's, Rad Rides, and many others have all showcased their talents by competition in addition to chasing show trophies.
Have you guys ever hit the track with any of these cars? Do you have any plans to showcase the performance potential of the cars you guys build?Scott Parkhurst

Thanks Jon!
I have been kicking ideas around for the inner fenders on my Bad Ast project and that nova just solved my problem.
Of course my inners will not be as expansive as those but it makes for a simple solution which will look clean and hi-tech.

We had the Mustang on the autocross course out in columbus.... Unfortunately alot of these builds leave here and get parked in a garage or warehouse so we havent been able to get much track time, although we are building a full independently suspended C-10 with dual adjustable remote reservoir fox shocks, LS2 and a whole lot of other goodies we plan to autocross and road coarse...
