RDSS customers, friends and fellow hot rodders the time has come to officially shut our doors and focus on our new business adventure. As many of you are aware I opened a childhood dream of owning my own hot rod shop and have had a ton of fun over the last several years. Now that box has been checked I’m ready for my new business adventure with Big Papas Patio coming this spring 2025. Our last official open day will be this October 31st 2024 and then we will no longer be accepting work. If you currently have a vehicle with us or parts from previous builds we will make arrangements for pickup.

[Please note we will be having an auction later in the year for equipment and tool sales to help us clear out the building and prepare for next business steps.]

Thanks for all the years of fun and see you at the Big Papas Patio this spring! -Nick
