Prior Lake Custom Builds
When you’re ready to go beyond bolt-ons and basic upgrades, Innovative Rod and Custom delivers the level of expertise, creativity, and precision that true custom builds demand. As a local shop based in Prior Lake, we work with enthusiasts from all around the region—but nothing makes us prouder than building for our neighbors. Our Prior Lake custom builds are known for their quality, power, and attention to detail, and we treat every project like it’s our own.
Custom Builds That Start with a Solid Foundation
Great builds begin with a great foundation. That’s why our work often starts with chassis fabrication. Whether you’re building from a bare frame or upgrading an older platform, our team engineers structural integrity, suspension geometry, and weight distribution into every inch. The result? A build that performs, handles, and looks exactly how it should.
Turning Ideas Into Full Builds
Every custom build in Prior Lake is different. Some start with a dream scribbled on paper. Others begin with a classic car that’s been sitting in a garage for 20 years. No matter where you’re starting, we’ll help map out a plan—covering everything from mechanical upgrades and driveline swaps to modern suspension systems and braking components. We’ll talk goals, timeline, and budget—and then get to work bringing your vision to life.
Sheet Metal, Body Mods & Visual Impact
From flawless fabrication to custom body panels, our sheet metal fabrication work is all done in-house. That means no delays, no outsourcing, and no compromises. Whether you’re looking to tub a rear end, widen a fender, shave door handles, or do a full custom body conversion, we’ve got the tools and talent to pull it off cleanly. Prior Lake drivers want builds that stand out—and our metalwork makes that possible.
Modern Power Meets Classic Soul
Horsepower without control is just chaos—and we don’t do chaos. Our performance tuning and race prep services are designed to get every last bit of usable power out of your build while keeping it reliable and dialed-in. Whether you’re running a carbureted small block or an LS swap, we can fine-tune ignition, fuel, and timing to perfection. And for track-day regulars, we offer full pre-race inspections and setups.
Built to Run, Wired to Last
No custom build is complete without a modern, safe, and clean electrical system. Our complete wiring and electrical repair service eliminates guesswork and gives you a solid base for future upgrades. From full harness installs to troubleshooting and rewiring, we make sure your build starts, charges, and runs exactly how it should—without shorts, fires, or frustration.
