Welcome to Rods by Reid!

It’s official! Rods by Reid has been recognised for the second time on an international level for their world class design and fabrication. The latest project, a Speed 33 was recently crowned as a Top Five finalist for America’s Most Beautiful Street Rod at the Goodguys 25th West Coast Nationals in Pleasanton, CA, USA.

Company principal, John “JR” Reid has been actively involved in hot rodding in general and particularly in hot rod fabrication since 1967. Since his first hot rod, a Dodge based bucket named “Vandal” and later rebuilt as “Black Sabbath”, JR has five decades of national titles to his name.

John is a founder, and life member of Riverside Rodders and since founding Rods by Reid in 1994, the list of successes has continued to grow. The driving force of this successful career is because JR and the Rods by Reid team place high importance to deliver the best product and completed car possible. The personal commitment mentally and physically means that you are getting the best available as if it were a personal project of Rods by Reid themselves – that’s dedication!
