It’s time for the D-Built touch.

This clean classic is about to get a major dose of modern comfort and performance.

Here’s a sneak peek at the upgrade list rolling out first:
• Gen V system for ultimate climate control.
• Fresh ceramic tint to keep the Texas heat out and the style dialed in.
•A handful of other sweet, subtle touches to elevate the drive.

We’re taking this vintage beast and making it the ultimate modern cruiser!

Truck season is in full swing, and our work calendar is filling up fast! If your classic muscle truck or hot rod is sitting in the garage waiting for its own transformation, this is your sign.

Let’s bring your vision to life!

NOW HIRING:
Master-Level Hot Rod & Performance Technician

The Reality:
Our bays are full, our waitlist is growing deep, and we are booked months out with some serious work/builds. We don’t just do basic oil changes, and we don’t do boring. We build some elite machines, and right now, we need another heavy-hitter tech on the floor to help us drive this ship forward.

The Position:
This is NOT an entry-level job. We are not looking for an apprentice or a hobbyist who “tinkers” on weekends. We are looking for a professional. A technician who can look at a high-end build, understand the vision, and execute it flawlessly from front to back.

What You Need to Bring to the Table:
• Deep Expertise: Mastery of American classic cars, vintage trucks, and modern late-model muscle performance. LS/LT/Coyote

• Full-Spectrum Skillset: You need to be fluent in everything from high-end suspension geometry and modern powertrain swaps to precision mock-up and electrical systems.

• The Mindset: A sharp eye for detail, an obsession with clean ex*****on, and the self-motivation to run a project without a babysitter.

The Schedule & Perks:
• Location: San Antonio, TX (In-shop, full-time).
• The Dream Shift: Monday to Thursday, 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Enjoy a 3-day weekend, every single week.
• Compensation: Top-tier pay for top-tier talent. If you have the skillset, the portfolio, and the efficiency, let’s talk!

How to Apply:
If you are the tech we’re looking for—or if you know the one person in town who fits this bill—let’s talk.

We got the D-Built ‘89 IROC cleaned up and out of the garage to do what it does best: cruise!

From turning heads at a local car show today, to carving up a few miles of beautiful Texas Hill Country roads, this car proved it’s more than just a pretty face.

The mind-blowing stance and razor-sharp handling come from the best in the game—a premium suspension setup.

No corners cut, just top-tier components like a fresh set of upgraded wheels from that are wrapped in

This car also rocks a set of LED RetroBright headlights keeping that iconic look intact.

Whether you’ve got an iconic American muscle car or a classic truck sitting in the garage, the team at Dbuilt Hot Rods is ready to elevate your driving experience.

The Blueprint of Perfection:

This Squarebody isn’t just a truck; it’s a masterclass in modern performance wrapped in classic sheet metal.

We started with the best foundation in the business: a chassis, giving this legend the handling and stance it deserves.

Under the hood, things get serious with a 441ci LS, screaming out 700HP of naturally aspirated fury.

No corners are being cut, and no compromises will be made.

This is what happens when you combine the industry’s heavy hitters into one cohesive build:

• Shift: Precision gear changes via

• Stop: Massive tucked behind custom and rubber.

• Control: A crisp cockpit and .autowire harness.

• Comfort: Ice-cold for those long Texas hauls.

• Sound: The unmistakable growl of headers feeding into mufflers via exhaust pipe.

Built to be driven, engineered to be admired.

From Classic Icon to the Ultimate Cruiser 🏁

This ‘65 Chevy II Nova just rolled out of the shop, and calling it a “transformation” might be the understatement of the year.

The team at Dbuilt Hot Rods took this beauty from a cool classic to a modern-day masterpiece.

Check out the spec list on this street machine:

• Heart of the Beast: A brand-new crate engine from for turn-key reliability and serious power.

• Precision Shifting: Custom-built transmission from to handle the torque with ease.

• The Stance: The entire catalog, featuring fully adjustable coilovers for that perfect profile and slot-car handling.

• Stopping Power: Massive new tucked behind classic wheels from wrapped in brand new Pilot Sport 4S rubber.

• Modern Comforts: interior cabin is now staying cool with a Gen V system from and keep tabs on everything via sleek new gauges from

• The Details: LED headlights from to light up the night, a custom exhaust for that signature growl, and a Front Runner accessory drive kit from to keep it all tidy under the hood.

This Nova is proof that you don’t have to sacrifice vintage soul for modern performance!

It’s built to drive, built to last, and built to turn heads!

Let’s build your dream cruiser together!

The owner was taking the squarebody to the autocross today to see what she could do… and let’s just say we found the limit!

Turns out, these might actually be the crappiest tires known to man! Zero traction, all slide, and a whole lot of “holding on for dear life” around the cones.

But we aren’t letting them go to waste…. Since they’re basically useless for grip, we’ve officially scheduled their retirement party for tomorrow’s Burnout Competition at ! 😤🔥

Stay tuned… new rubber is on the way, but first, we’re sending these off with one big, nasty burnout!

See you guys there!
