Our Santa Barbara based non-profit organization called The Community Hot Rod Project is an organization that not only offers a free program to teach the youth and young at heart how to build, restore, fabricate classic cars and off-road race vehicles here in Santa Barbara. Our program promotes a positive environment that improves both personal and community etiquette that is seriously missing in our community and world today. We offer community outreach events to help those in need at no charge throughout the year on top of our day-to-day operations. Our members and benefactors of our organization are an eclectic group of individuals that are comprised of business owners, aerospace engineers / technicians, mechanics, local law enforcement, members of the media, church members and students that all have a similar passion for automobiles and helping others in our local community. Our vision is to empower the next generation with the experience, knowledge, and ability to put down the phones, get outside, and work with their hands being creative and building the baddest hot rods on the road and helping those in need too.

The Community Hot Rod Project’s Mission Statement:

This day and age there is a serious lack of hands-on vocational programs in our community for everyone no matter how young or young at heart you are. Our focus is not only building rolling works of art but, building lifelong friendships as we work together from rendering designs to showstopping builds. No matter what your background is, you’re family when you take part of The Community Hot Rod Project. Our program offers not only mechanical theory but, skills to promote a positive environment and improve both professional and personal etiquette which is missing in our community and world today. From rust and dust to solid well thought out original designs our job is to inspire. Welcome to our family…..
