Mackey's Hot Rods
Huntington Beach, CA · Orange County · Est. 2007
Owner Brian Mackey
Mackey's Hot Rods is a traditional hot rod and custom shop in Huntington Beach — owner Brian Mackey, building since 2007 — that takes a car from bare metal to finished paint in-house: chops, one-off frames, metal fabrication, custom suspension, and the body and paint that ties a build together. The portfolio is full builds rather than light service, including a chassis-to-paint '59 El Camino and a '69 Cuda, and the shop's work has run on magazine covers. It's a builder's shop for someone commissioning a cohesive hot rod or custom, not a quick mechanical fix.
An owner commissioning a full hot rod, custom, or muscle-car build who wants fabrication, metal, body, and paint handled start-to-finish by one crew with a defined style.
