The team at HCR did a great job fabricating the bumpers on my truck. They made and installed a front winch bumper and a rear spare tire swing-out bumper. Both bumpers are solid pieces of craftsmanship that will work hard and protect me and my family for years to come. HCR kept me updated with pictures/texts/calls throughout the entire process. I'm very satisfied with the build and the way they conduct their business. I highly suggest HCR for any of your metal fabrication needs.

Bud and Alex did a fantastic job on our Blue Ox towing/braking system installation, set up and instructional review for our Jeep Wrangler. We couldn't be happier with the final product. They were very professional and took the time to review each component, making sure we were comfortable in how to set up and break down. We highly recommend them.

Bud and Alex are amazing! Thier work is top notch and the attention to detail is phenomenal!! I needed to drop a gooseneck hitch in my truck to pull my horse trailer with for off the grid camping! When we pulled my bed off to put new bed rails in we discovered it was rusted through. HCR to the rescue! Not only did the custom build my beautiful bed but they also took care of the rust on my frame and painted everything underneath to match! Now we are ready to roll for fall camping season and I can not wait! Thank you again HCR for the outstanding and amazing job you did. You gave my 2005 f250 a beautiful update!

I found horseless carriage restoration through the magazine truck camper, and it was the best thing I ever did in my entire life. I had wanted to turn my truck into a Flatbed to get more storage for my truck camper, but I got so much more than just that. Bud and his son Alex are just 100% percent genuine Americans. Everything they do is customizable, I cannot believe that I found such a great business in Chesapeake Virginia. Al Smith

Orders a custom flatbed and I am extremely happy with the results. Great construction and great attention to detail. The customer service and constant contact with progress and changes to design that they thought would make it better were outstanding. I will definitely use this place for any custom fabrication jobs I need. Highly recommended

Bud helped me address problems and tune my FiTech fuel injection system on my 85 C10 truck with an "LS" swap and installed a Digital Dakota gauge cluster. He also fabricated and setup a very cool air intake for me. His attention to detail was wonderful.
