Quiet shop.
American steel.
Long weekend ahead. 🇺🇸

Remembering the reason for it.

Some projects just need the right hands. 🔥

This build came through AK Rods for wiring, exhaust, steering upgrades and more… and rolled back out of the bay better than ever.

Back in black. 😮‍💨

If you can… you probably should. 💨

Not just red. Stryker Red.

A factory Viper GTS color… only 61 ever produced.

5 coats base, 2 heavy candy coats, 5 coats clear, and 6 gallons of material later… the light doesn’t hit it —it sinks into it. 😎

Respect the legend. Upgrade the drivability.

No LS swap.
No museum piece.
No trailer queen.

Just a real-deal 409 — Chevy’s iconic W-motor, only built from ’61–’64 — rebuilt by Golden Engines and pushed to 550 HP with modern fuel injection and overdrive so you can actually drive the thing… Hard.

This is how AK Rods & Customs does it.

Built once. Refined again.

Roxanne — a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T — is back in the shop where her story began.

Originally built by our shop in 2012 and unveiled at the 2013 Detroit Autorama, she’s returned for a fresh chapter and a careful evolution.

Her new power plant is a 392ci Gen III HEMI built by Proformance Unlimited, pushing 640 horsepower, controlled by a Holley Terminator X Max, and backed by a TCI Stage 3 4L80E.

This time, the focus wasn’t just more power — it was balance. Sharper response. Cleaner delivery. A car that feels just as good on the road as it looks in the shop.

“You dream it — we can build it.” Still true. Still standing.

Every great build starts with trust and a shared vision.

Thank you to our incredible clients, who allowed us to bring their dreams to life. We’re looking ahead to another year of creativity, craftsmanship, and pushing what’s possible.

Happy New Year — let’s build something unforgettable.

14 Years of AK Rods & Customs at One Independence Dr Londonderry, NH 🔧🏁

Fourteen years ago, this photo marked a toast to a new beginning — a new home, a bigger dream, and the next chapter of what started long before the name “AK Rods & Customs” ever existed.

Andy Lefebvre — the “A” in AK — has always lived and breathed hot rods. His passion for building, restoring, and creating something from nothing inspired Keith from the start. Over the years, Keith’s artistic eye and modern vision evolved that foundation into what AK Rods & Customs is today — a blend of craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation that continues to grow with every build.

From a garage dream to One Independence Drive, AK Rods & Customs has become more than a business — it’s a family, a legacy, and a place built on trust, grit, and a shared love of horsepower.

To our customers, friends, and community — thank you for 18 incredible years of support, 14 of which here. Cheers to the road ahead!

If you dream it, we can build it. 🔥
