we're building.
A rotating log of what's on the floor and what's just rolled out. Every entry is a full build journal — from the first cut to the last coat.
All builds
93 454 SS
FULL CUSTOM BUILD
A full custom 1993 Chevrolet 454 SS pickup built for power, presence, and road manners. Modern supercharged LS muscle, air ride, and subtle bodywork under a clean white SS shell.
59 LeSabre
FULL CUSTOM BUILD
Levi Green's 1959 Buick LeSabre convertible — bought from the original owner's daughter in Maryland — now getting a full transformation at Hammer Fab. Slammed air-ride chassis, hand-fabricated rockers, 660 hp LS3, and a fresh interior that keeps the factory look.
99 Tahoe
FULL CUSTOM BUILD
A hand-built all-metal wide-body OBS with a modern 2019 Camaro drivetrain. Tons of custom metal fab work to get you salivating.
85 IROC-Z
IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT BUILD
A 1985 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z purchased July 18, 2023 as Hammer Fab's own product development and marketing platform. All-steel wide body flares, Detroit Speed suspension, and an LT4 dry sump out of a 2016 Z06 backed by a TR6060 six-speed. The car is in progress and available to purchase for Hammer Fab completion.
This build is in progress and available for purchase — it could be yours.
§ 03 — Customer build
1950
Chevy 3100.
Mike Tabb's 3100 came in tired and mismatched. Phase 1 left it slammed on air, straight down the sides, and finished with custom control arms, a welded bed, and a tan-and-black palette that keeps winning local shows.
§ 04 — Now on the floor
1959
Buick.
A generational car — chrome fins, factory panels straight from '59, hidden modern chassis. Being reworked ground-up for a customer who wanted the car his grandfather couldn't afford.
§ 04 — Street Connection
Suspension
that drives.
Every Custom Fit system is developed on our own cars first — validated on Texas back roads before it ever ships.

Words from the bench.
Outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail. The quality of the work is second to none, and the finished truck exceeded every expectation I had. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a custom build done right.
Another great glass from the Hammer Fab professionals! Much respect for Levi and his team for the type of quality work they create. It's truly both an art and a science!!
The Street Connection Suspension brought our 68 Barracuda into the 21st century. The versatility from street cruising to autocross is very impressive!
