PRIVATELY BUILT CUSTOM HOT ROD & CLASSIC CAR RESTORATIONS

 Welcome, my name is Troy McDonald and I own and operate Covert Customs. From 2017 until early 2022 Covert Customs was a full service shop with several employees doing the full scope of car building. In those 5 years I figured out that I was more passionate about doing complete higher end restorations, major custom jobs and big power builds than I was about doing repairs and service work, Also that there were certain types of cars that I enjoyed more than others.

I now privately perform only higher end complete restorations, RestoMods or build custom high HP cars for one or two clients at a time. We are no longer open to the public for general repair and upgrade work. I work out of my home shop performing the majority of all work in house. The shop along with 2 detached smaller shops total almost 5000 sq ft containing 8 bays with #2-2 post lifts, mid rise lift and a 4 post alignment rack and alignment machine, a separate metal working room houses tools like a full size Lathe and milling machine, parts washer and blasting cabinet then a 14’x28’ paint booth is attached. Plans to expand are in the works. Some interior work and certain paint work I outsource sometimes to very, very qualified people if someone is looking for a concourse restoration and everything must be perfect. I also work with one of the premiere car tuners in the world Mitch “Kiwi” Duncan for tuning big power twin turbo EFI type builds if needed. I also perform tuning on N/A engines. I’m familiar with the installation and tuning of top brand EFI systems and custom EFI builds using systems like Megasquirt, Holley & Haltech to name a few. I’m also fluent with building custom link suspension systems and installing pro touring suspension from the likes of Detroit speed and Heidt’s. Please read our disclaimer page to better familiarize yourself with how things work at the shop.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
”Over the last 25+ years I’ve built over 100 different vehicles. After almost 24 hrs hauling the ‘67 C10 to Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale, AZ I took it for about a 20 mile drive and I just wanted to call and tell you this is the best Resto Mod I’ve ever driven. It starts perfect, runs perfect, drives absolutely fantastic, it idles down right, rides great, It’s tight and doesn’t make any weird noises. After driving it I’ve decided to keep it instead of sell it and I just wanted to say Thank You for building me such a great ride.” - Jim
