Mankato Custom Builds

Builders in Mankato who want more than average know where to turn—Innovative Rod and Custom. Our Mankato custom builds combine next-level performance, precision craftsmanship, and bold visual appeal. Whether you’re upgrading a rolling project, starting from a frame, or bringing a long-lost classic back to life, we deliver results that are anything but ordinary.
Chassis Fabrication for Strength and Control
We build from the ground up—literally. Our chassis fabrication provides Mankato car owners with strong, properly engineered foundations that can handle serious horsepower, improved suspension geometry, and long-term reliability. Whether you’re after show-quality stance or race-grade performance, it starts with the right structure.
Mechanical Systems Built to Perform
Horsepower without dependability doesn’t cut it. That’s why our mechanical upgrades are tuned for both power and peace of mind. From custom driveline setups to cooling systems and brake conversions, Mankato builds benefit from smart planning and skilled installation.
Metal That Makes a Statement
The details are where the build comes to life. Our sheet metal fabrication creates bold, seamless bodywork that stands out for all the right reasons. From widened rear tubs and custom fenders to full panel smoothing and mod work, we shape your project to match your style and performance goals.
Dialed-In Tuning for Every Setup
Once the powertrain is installed, we fine-tune every detail. Our performance tuning and race prep ensures that Mankato builds run clean, strong, and reliably under pressure. Whether it’s a street-driven cruiser or a weekend track machine, we dial in the fueling, ignition, and timing to get every bit of performance you’re after.
Wiring That Works the First Time
Reliable electrical systems are critical to a custom build—and our complete wiring and electrical repair eliminates the guesswork. Whether you’re starting from scratch or cleaning up a mess, we deliver clean, organized, labeled wiring that makes your build safer, easier to maintain, and ready for upgrades down the road.
