Full in-house hot rod garage, trim shop, and body shop
Restore Your Classic Right on the Line
From engine swaps to custom interiors, nothing leaves the building
Fondren's Classic Cars & Guitars runs a hot rod garage, trim shop, and body shop in Shreveport — and on the same floor, a full-blown guitar repair shop. The blacked-out collector showroom features a stage, and Cruise and Jam Nights bring cars, guitars, and live music together in a way that doesn't exist anywhere else along the I-20 corridor. It's the kind of destination that pulls buyers and restoration clients from Dallas, Houston, and well beyond.
When you're working through a classic car project, the last thing you want is three different shops, three different conversations, and a timeline you can't track. At Fondren's, the mechanical work, custom interior, body and paint, and guitar repair all happen under one roof — handled by the same crew from first look to final delivery. Whether you're sourcing a car for your collection or bringing in a project that needs a full-blown restoration, you're dealing with people who know exactly what they're looking at.
Fondren's sales reach nationwide, and repair and restoration work draws from across Texas and Louisiana — with pickup and delivery within a three or four hour radius to make it accessible no matter where you're starting from. This is collector-owned and operated, built on passion for the cars and the music. The work speaks for itself.

From the Garage to the Trim Shop
Fondren's runs its hot rod garage, trim shop, and body shop entirely in-house, which means engine swaps, AC conversions, brake conversions, custom interiors, and body and paint restoration all flow through one crew on one timeline. When your project moves from the mechanical stage to the trim shop or body shop, there's no handoff delay and no gap in accountability — you're always dealing with the same operation. That's a different kind of predictability than you'll get splitting a build between three separate vendors.
Pickup and delivery within a three or four hour radius makes it practical to get your classic to Fondren's from across the region — whether you're coming from East Texas, North Louisiana, or anywhere along the I-20 corridor. For buyers who can't make the drive, sales reach nationwide through a collector-owned shop that doesn't operate like a standard lot.
Here's what the in-house operation covers:
Engine swaps, AC conversions, and brake conversions handled entirely in the hot rod garage — no outsourcing, no waiting on an outside shop's schedule
Custom interiors built in the trim shop to your spec — whether you're finishing a show car or building something you'll actually drive
Full-blown body and paint restoration completed on-site, from panel work through the final finish coat
Accessible to clients across the Ark-La-Tex and I-20 corridor, with nationwide sales available for buyers at any distance

Collector-Owned, Operated Right on the Line
Fondren's Classic Cars & Guitars is collector-owned and operated — the people making decisions about your restoration are the same people who care about these cars and guitars the way you do. In Shreveport, right where Louisiana meets Texas, that kind of accountability travels: buyers and restoration clients make the trip from Dallas, Houston, and across both sides of the state line because the shop delivers what it says it will. This isn't an operation built to move units — it's built around what the cars and the music deserve.
Nothing here gets handed off to a third shop or filtered through a chain of subcontractors. The hot rod garage, trim shop, body shop, and guitar repair operation all run under one roof because that's how the work stays consistent, and it's how a collector-owned business holds itself to the standard it sets. When your classic comes out of Fondren's, it comes out right.
