Customer project build at Fischer Performance and Hot Rods in Festus, MO
Father & Son Shop · Festus, Missouri

We still work on the cars other shops turn away.

Classic restorations, engine rebuilds, Holley EFI conversions, and custom fabrication — from an ASE Master Technician and a painter with 30+ years of racing behind him. One of the few shops in the area that says yes to Pre-'80 iron.

What We Do

From rod-knock Model A's to Holley EFI swaps

Everything under one roof — tear-down, machine work, fabrication, wiring, paint, and the tune that makes it drive right.

Engine Rebuilds & Machining

Complete rebuilds, blueprinting, crate and modernized engine installs, bottom-end teardowns. Cody did all the machining and assembly at Indy Cylinder Heads before opening the shop.

Performance & EFI Conversions

Holley Sniper and Terminator X EFI swaps, brake upgrades, and drivability work that lets a classic start, idle, and cruise like a modern car — without losing its soul.

Holley Dealer · Tuning

Full Restorations

Classic cars and trucks restored end to end — sourcing parts, restoring originals, and fabricating what no catalog sells anymore.

Classics · Trucks · Hot Rods

Wiring & Electrical

Full vehicle rewires, chassis and dash harnesses, gauge and sensor repair — including 6-volt system restoration most shops won't touch.

American Autowire · 6-Volt

Paint, Body & Fabrication

Paint and bodywork from Bill's 30+ years of painting trucks, cars, and race cars — plus in-house welding and tube bending for custom fab work.

Mechanical & Maintenance

Suspension, brakes, engine swaps, rear differential rebuilds, oil changes, battery/alternator/starter checks — and pre-season car checks for show or race season.

The Shop That Says Yes

Been sitting in the barn for years? Bring it in.

Most shops won't look at anything built before 1980. We specialize in exactly those cars — carburetors, points, 6-volt systems, and all. Our get-it-running service takes vehicles that have sat for years and brings them back safe and reliable.

  • Thorough top-to-bottom inspection on every project
  • Detailed written list of what it needs — you choose what we fix
  • Honest, fair pricing. We're a two-man shop: you talk to the people turning the wrenches, not a service writer.
How It Works

No surprises. No pressure.

What Customers Say

5.0 stars. Every single review.

“Cody and Bill did a fantastic job on my 1969 Corvette. They thoroughly went over the car from top to bottom and gave me a detailed list of everything I needed to address… what a beautiful job on the intake, carburetor, and distributor. Honest and very fair!”

Frank Whitehead · Google review

“Cody worked with me on finding solutions to several issues I was having with my CTS-V. Found better / cheaper solutions than what I had planned. Fast and reasonably priced.”

Gary Richmond · Google review

“One of the few places that will work on cars before 1995. Thank you guys for getting the MG safe and running. You treat people fairly and with respect.”

Gold Jackwagon · Google review
