Hot Rod Works

Hot Rod Works The Hot Rod Works. CNC machine shop. Early Ford axle conversions, transmission adapters, Quick changes

The Hot Rod Works was started in 1996 by brothers Nick Smith and Ken Smith. After a lifetime of building and driving hot rods, they decided to open the doors of their own business. Their passion for hot rods extends to campaining a real steel 1926 Ford roadster on the Bonneville Salt Flats where they have been successful in setting SCTA speed records. Their real world experience, along with their

formal training in engineering and manufacturing, have enabled them to bring to market many unique traditional Hot Rod components. By adding additional products from other quality manufactures, they have continued to provide quality components and service to the Hot Rod enthusiast.

🚨 WE’VE MOVED! 🚨
Big news from Hot Rod Works — we’ve officially outgrown our old space here in Waco and have moved into a larger shop to better serve our amazing customers!

📦 As of October 1, 2025, you can now find us at our new location:
📍 1004 Industrial Blvd, Hewitt, TX (conveniently off I-35!)

We want to sincerely thank everyone for your patience and support over the past month as we made this big transition. It’s because of YOU and your incredible rides that this move was possible.

🏁 We’re excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to welcome you to the new shop. Stay tuned — we’ll be hosting an Open House event in the coming months, and we’d love for you to come by, check out the new space, and bring your hot rod!

🚗💨
From all of us at Hot Rod Works — thank you for being part of the ride. Let’s keep it rollin’!
