Under The Hood: American Resto Mods

In this new feature, we search out the nations best resto-mod shops and check in with the owners to see how they got into the business and what drives them to be the best. In this first interview, we check in with Ralph Sikes and his shop American Resto Mods in Buford Georgia and take a look at his shop. The thing that attracted me to Sikes and his shop was a clean and organized website and serious detailing of builds that he and his team are working on. We all know a shop or two that is just a mess and can’t get it’s act together. This is not one of those shops. American Resto Mods has been around since 2007 and has built a solid reputation as a get-it-done-right shop. Sikes and his longtime crew have spent the better part of a decade rebuilding peoples dream cars and building a business model that is sustainable and successful.

Having been a business owner myself at one point, I can attest that running a successful business takes a ton of work, commitment and can be a stressful venture if you don’t have the right people surrounding you. Sikes made sure that he built his crew with solid craftsmen that can make good things happen when they all lay their hands on the build. Meet Ralph and his crew from American Resto Mods in our inaugural Shop Profile called Under The Hood.
