Coldstream Rod Shop
We are a small little hobby shop in rural Nova Scotia, Canada. Building hot rods, one at a time, usually starting with very little. Watch along as we fabricate, and build some really special projects. We usually have a few project on the go at one time so check back often.
For regular updates follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
Are you in love with our 1929 Hot Rod as much as we are? We love it soooo much we had t-shirts made. They are double sided sizes m to 4XL (limited supply). If you are interested, email Derek at [email protected] and make arrangements with him. You can pick them up or we can ship. T-shirts $30 CAD (plus shipping).
