Classic car project underway in the shop at Fischer Performance and Hot Rods, Festus MO

A father, a son, and a wide variety of experience.

We're a small father-and-son shop in Festus that specializes in automotive restorations and performance. Between us: a High Performance Technology degree, dealership and engine-machining careers, and more than 30 years of racing, paint, and body work. Here's who's actually turning the wrenches on your car.

Why People Trust Us

We'd like to make your automotive dreams come true.

We've been working on and racing vehicles for most of our lives. That's why we take on everything from rod-knock Model A engines and 1969 Corvette carburetor upgrades to Holley EFI conversions, full rewires, and complete restorations — including the pre-1995 cars most shops turn away.

  • Honest, straight answers — we're known for it, and our reviews say the same
  • Thorough top-to-bottom inspections with a detailed written list of what your vehicle needs
  • Fair pricing with no pressure — you choose the work, we do it right
  • Restoration and performance under one roof: machining, fabrication, wiring, paint, and tuning

We're not the biggest shop around — we're the two-man shop that does it right and tells you the truth about your car.
