1. Tell Us Your Vision – Every great build starts with your ideas. We learn your goals, style, intended use, and what you want the finished vehicle to become.
2. We Research the Details – Our team researches the right parts, materials, finishes, and build strategies to make sure every element works together.
3. We Design Your Build – As a 3X auction world record-setting custom shop, Red River Customs brings proven design experience to every project. We develop the complete direction of your build, from color and stance to wheels, interior details, performance elements, and custom fabrication.
4. You Approve the Final Design – Before fabrication begins, we review the final concept with you, make any necessary refinements, and confirm the details so everyone is aligned on the vision.
1. Prepare for Fabrication – With the design approved, we translate the plan into precise fabrication requirements and prepare the vehicle for metalwork.
2. Build the Foundation – We fabricate the structural components, brackets, mounts, chassis modifications, and custom pieces required to bring the design to life.
3. Shape & Fit Every Detail – Each component is cut, formed, welded, and test-fitted to ensure proper alignment, strength, clearance, and fitment.
4. Refine & Finalize – We finish and inspect the metalwork, make any necessary adjustments, and prepare the vehicle for the next stage of the build.
1. Perfect the Body – With fabrication complete, we begin refining the bodywork, correcting imperfections, aligning panels, and preparing every surface for paint.
2. Prep Every Surface – We sand, block, prime, and seal the vehicle to create a smooth, consistent foundation for a show-quality finish.
3. Apply the Finish – Our team lays down the selected color, graphics, accents, and clear coat with careful attention to coverage, depth, and consistency.
4. Cut, Buff & Inspect – Once the paint has cured, we cut and polish the finish, inspect every panel, and make final refinements before the vehicle moves to the next stage.
1. Plan the Interior Details – With the exterior coming together, we finalize materials, colors, stitching, seating, trim, and other interior details based on the approved design.
2. Build & Upholster – Our team creates and installs custom seats, door panels, headliners, consoles, carpeting, and other upholstered components tailored to the vehicle.
3. Integrate the Finishing Touches – We install interior trim, controls, gauges, audio components, and custom details so everything looks intentional and functions properly.
4. Fit, Finish & Inspect – Every panel, seam, surface, and component is checked for fit, comfort, function, and finish before the build moves into final assembly.
1. Install the Mechanical & Electrical Systems – With the major fabrication and finish work complete, we install the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, brakes, cooling, fuel, and other mechanical systems, along with custom electrical engineering, wiring, and system integration.
2. Assemble the Vehicle – We bring the build together by installing the body components, trim, glass, lighting, hardware, and final accessories.
3. Connect & Calibrate Everything – Our team connects, programs, and adjusts each system to ensure proper operation, fitment, clearances, electrical functionality, and overall drivability.
4. Final Inspection & Road Testing – Once assembly is complete, we perform a comprehensive inspection and road-test the vehicle for approximately 100–500 miles, depending on the build. This allows us to verify performance, drivability, temperatures, braking, suspension, electrical systems, and overall reliability before final delivery.
