RODSMITH Handmade Customs & Rods

Craig is a master builder/fabricator and owner of RODSMITH Handmade Customs & Rods just north of Chicago. Craig's custom hot rods and motorcycles have been tearing up the roads of much of North America and around the globe for the past 25 years. He's worked on everything from bicycles to WW2 fighter planes (really!).

"I prefer to BUILD the car or bike, rather than just assemble it from catalogue parts. "

Born in Melbourne Australia, many Fosters ago, as a kid, he customized anything he could get his hands on. He started with his '57 BSA when he was 12 years old. He has extensive, hands-on experience in body work, paint, fabrication, mechanical, etc. He has built all kinds of stuff, from bikes to cars, traditional to radical.

"I fear no vehicle! "

Craig will do partial builds to complete cars and bikes. Chops, channels, frame modifications, frame building, body modifications, motor swaps, shaving, frenching... you name it!
