The focus of Ricks Custom Fabrication
is the production of
specialized parts and accessories for vehicles which are
not available from any other source. We take pride in
the fact that we buy only raw materials, and produce all
our own parts. The parts which we manufacture are
usually made from metals such as aluminum, steel,
stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, brass, or copper,
although we do also make parts out of plastics,
fiberglass, carbon fiber, lexan, acrylics and rubber.
The services offered depend on the type of part to be
built. Following is a list of the types of parts made
here. |

in sizes up to full sheet sizes. Rick's has produced
every conceivable automotive and cycle part from sheet
metals. Floor panels, instrument panels, door panels,
(inner, outer, upholstery) consoles, seat frames, inner
fenders and splash guards, interior trim panels, body
trim (belt line, window frame, wheel opening, side
accent, )intake manifolds, oil pans, Rick's has also
produced all major automotive and cycle parts using the
metal spinning, and coach-building skills found in only
the best fabrication shops in the world, using Pullmax
universal machines and the English wheel to produce
roofs, doors, fenders, running boards, patch panels,
deck lids, motorcycle fuel tanks, and dashboards and
more for a long list of satisfied
customers. |

tube benders in all sizes from 3/16" to 1 3/4" and can
bend any shape or size necessary. From fuel and brake
lines, power steering air conditioning or vacuum tubes
to roll bars and cages for competition vehicles. Headers

Billet, Rick's Custom
is home to a capable machine shop with 2 precision
lathes, 2 vertical milling machines, a metal spinning
lathe, and all measuring tools and standards. Any
machined part can be produced here, and over the years
nearly every part of a car has been made here, including
internal engine parts, transmission and drivetrain
equipment, suspension and ornamental
pieces. |

 Some shop
machinery |
| |
The machine shop is employed
extensively in the manufacturing of tools, jigs,
fixtures and forms for our own use in the building of
finished products that are accurate and high quality.
Plastics, parts like taillights can be made to almost
any shape or size using incandescent bulbs, LED's,
halogen or fiber optic lighting. Headlights can be
swapped for a custom look and better performance. Also,
fiberglass and carbon fiber can be used to save weight
where necessary, and we have experience in producing
these parts from either a clean sheet design or from a
mold taken from an existing part. We can also install
and fit parts purchased from outside vendors. Another
unique process employed here is the molding of sheet
stock to produce compound curved parts such as windows,
windshields, canopies or headlight covers. Welding is a
service that applies to all the metals and is so varied
and extensive that a listing of the processes would not
be practical. At Rick's we can TIG or MIG or gas weld
damn near anything! Design services are available and
include body styling and color coordination, interior
design and layout, customizing, and general advice, as
well as tongue in cheek criticism. Clean sheet
engineering is no problem at Rick's, all aspects of
automotive technology are understood and many projects
built here came to us as nothing more than an idea.
Through working with the customer to identify their
goals and deciding the best way to meet them we have
designed and built many award winning, successful and
unique cars and motorcycles. Engine swaps, Electronic
fuel injection, electronic engine management,
transmission adaptors, custom suspension components are
a few examples of the engineering art we have done in
the past, from concept to reality.
