The Maker

Bodie Stroud

A self-taught master of his craft, Bodie Stroud has spent his life refining the art of metal fabrication. His name has become synonymous with quality, innovation, and the soul of the American hot rod.

Bodie Stroud in his Los Angeles workshop

From a small Los Angeles workshop, Bodie has built vehicles for some of the most recognizable names in entertainment — Tim Allen, Johnny Depp, Adam Carolla, Dan Reynolds, Taylor Lautner, Andy Puzder, and Johnny Knoxville among them — as well as institutions like the Petersen Automotive Museum and the Los Angeles Fireman's Museum.

His work has been recognized with the SEMA Best of Show and the Ford Best Design Award, and it lives on-screen through Monster Garage, Jay Leno's Garage, American Restoration, Hot Rod TV, and Shifting Gears.

Every build is hand-fabricated, every panel is shaped in-house, and every project is treated like it will outlive its owner. That's the standard. That's the shop.
