St. George’s Premier Frame-Off Restoration: The Story of Our '56 F100

St. George’s Premier Frame-Off Restoration: The Story of Our '56 F100

At Rods N Mods in St. George, Utah, our passion lies in bringing automotive dreams to life. We're not just a custom shop; we’re dedicated craftsmen. There is no better example of this commitment than our latest creation: a stunning grey 1956 F100 Big Window that is being unveiled to the world at the prestigious Holley LS Fest in the Speedtech Performance booth.

This truck is more than just a beautiful classic—it's a showcase of what a true frame-off restoration can achieve. From the ground up, this build was meticulously planned and executed. It rides on a high-performance Speedtech ExtReme chassis, which provides a foundation of modern handling and stability that the original truck could only dream of.

 

The Power Within: A Fusion of Classic and Custom

 

Under the hood lies the heart of this beast: a powerful 6.2L LS engine coupled with a smooth 6L80 transmission. This powertrain is all expertly managed by a Holley Terminator XMax system, ensuring flawless performance. We invite everyone attending Holley LS Fest to visit the Speedtech Performance booth to see this incredible build up close. It is a testament to the level of quality and detail we pour into every project.

But the real story isn't just about a show truck. It's about the services we provide every day, right here in Southern Utah. This '56 F100 is a shining example of our expertise in custom automotive restoration.

 

Your St. George Home for Frame-Off Restoration

 

Have you ever looked at a classic car or truck and imagined what it could be? A frame-off restoration is the most thorough and effective way to achieve a truly spectacular build. Our process involves completely separating the vehicle's body from its frame, allowing us to inspect, repair, and restore every single component.

This meticulous approach ensures:

  • Structural Integrity: We address hidden rust and chassis damage, creating a safe and solid foundation.
  • Flawless Finish: Starting with a perfectly prepped frame and body allows us to achieve a truly stunning, show-quality finish that will last for years.
  • Customization Freedom: A frame-off restoration gives you the ultimate freedom to add modern components, like the LS engine and Speedtech chassis in our F100, without compromise.

If you're a classic car owner in St. George, Washington, Ivins, or any of the surrounding areas, and you have a project that deserves the ultimate level of care, we are here to help. Whether you want a full, ground-up custom build or a period-correct restoration, our team at Rods N Mods has the passion and expertise to make your vision a reality.
