Hot Rodding has become a very large industry. With all the excitement the media has brought forth lately, the great American pastime has become big business. Hot Rod shops all over the nation have the need for highly qualified technicians.

After 20 years of post secondary educational experience and constantly updating curriculum, I have started the Hot Rod Institute. I have worked with WyoTech for 15 years; started their street rod program in 1993. I also worked with VC Tech in Alabama for 4 years; developed the Hot Rod, Custom Motorcycle, and Custom Paint programs in 2003. In 2008 I have decided to step out from under the large corporate, educational umbrella and start a hot rod only school. The specialty car industry is an ever changing industry and the curriculum needs to keep up with these changes.
