build Get a Free Florida Build QuoteFlorida is paradise for classic car enthusiasts — year-round sunshine, no state income tax, and some of the best car shows in the country. But Florida's salt air, humidity, and intense UV exposure create unique challenges for hot rod ownership. That is why our Florida-bound builds include enhanced corrosion protection, UV-resistant clear coats, and upgraded cooling systems as standard.
Our Charlotte, NC facility is just 8 to 12 hours from most Florida cities, making us the closest premium hot rod builder to the Sunshine State. We have delivered custom builds to clients in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Naples.

Absolutely. Every Florida-bound build receives epoxy primer on all bare metal surfaces, chassis undercoating, stainless steel hardware in corrosion-prone areas, and marine-grade sealed electrical connections. We also apply UV-resistant clear coat with ceramic coating to protect your paint from Florida's intense sun exposure. These are not optional upgrades — they are standard specifications for any vehicle being delivered to Florida.
Charlotte, NC is just 8 hours from Jacksonville, 10 hours from Orlando, and 12 hours from Miami. We are the closest premium hot rod builder to the Florida market. Many Florida clients drive their project cars to us directly. For completed builds, enclosed transport takes just 1 to 3 days depending on your Florida city.
We attend the Daytona Turkey Run (one of the largest shows in the US with 6,000+ vehicles), the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing events in Ocala, Festivals of Speed at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg, and various Tampa Bay area cruise-ins.
