The best way to explain Rob's shop is not only by calling it a car shop but also an innovation factory. Using the latest technology in metal CNC stretching, 3D printing, and electronic accessories, Rob and his team are setting a new standard for what it means to build custom cars. Follow along as he shows us the latest projects and technology the engineering world has to offer.

Rob is a cool guy! I like that he had the work ethic as a teen to build his own hot rod and that same passion is still there and fueling his business. I wish him much success.
Mr. Ida is an amazing artist. Crazy skills. He must have an equally talented crew judging by his current projects.
The 'Barn Finds' episodes are my favorite ones that Hagerty produces.
I didn't want the interview to end ... A wealth of information that I could listen to for hours.
What a great mix of old school and new ways mixed in. History and 3D printing both working together to build custom cars. Love it!
You know a man has a passion for the art when there is an awesome back story to go with the car and the stories just flow like a fine wine that's perfectly aged. thanks for bringing us along Tom!
And you know a man’s had too many facelifts when tops of his ears point to back of his head
What a great, humble guy. Tom's not so bad either...
Interesting and inspiring episode! Well Done Gentlemen.
PURE TALENT.
That Place Is ART 🥹
What a great story from Rob. All the family involvement with Tuckers, his dad, and Rob's beginnings. It's the passion.
Amazing story, fabulous cars, and an outstansing shop. I could listen to Tom and Rob Ida talk all day about the stories and cars that Rob builds. So many interesting things going on in the shop and it was interesting that Rob explained how he liked the challenges that customers brought. Thank you for this tour - The Ida Speed Shop is only an hour from my house!
I love watching everything Tom does. Please more. He makes this channel.
TOM. YOUR SKILL IS TO RECOGNISE GENIUS IN OTHERS. YOUR GENEROSITY IN CELEBRATING THEIR GENIUS SETS YOU APART FROM OTHERS ON RUclips. YOU HAVE A BIG HEART AND ARE A GIFT TO US ALL. THANK YOU.
Thank you. 23:24
What an awesome craftsman. Great show Tom. Keep them coming.
It's official, new series coming , Tom's Shop Hops. Lol. This is a good idea. A true car guy taking us on shop tours.
you sir are a visionary.... well said
I'm stoked that Rob was able to buy back his '41 Willys pickup. I imagine he has plans for it and I can't wait to see what those are. Great episode!! ❤
Finally! Someone featured a Henry J !! Thanks Tom.
After years of watching RUclips,many different channels I would see Henry J’s in the background but nobody understood the significance of this fabulous car. Probably 90% of the Henry J’s became dragsters.
Again thank you so much.
This was a great show. I always enjoy seeing hotrod shops that have such history to share.
Thanks Hagerty for the Ida shop tour. I’m familiar with the Ida name & the custom cars featured in Hot Rod Magazine throughout the 90s (& also the Hemi Healey restoration) but never knew of the family behind the builds. A more in-depth video is needed, especially of the CNC forming.
Smarter Everyday did a video on this. He visits a company that is developing the technology and the engineers explain everything really well.
I enjoyed the shop tour. Awesome episode
Hi Tom and crew. Massive fan from Auckland New Zealand. A car is just a car, but the people and their passion and stories, turns each car into a story. Currently restomoding a 1966 Ford Galaxie 4rd. 1 lady owner out of Arizona. Keep up the awesome work. I have not missed an episode yet.
What a refreshing episode , a touch of the usual with a look into the future . Thank you for stepping out of the woods and dusty old barns .
All episodes are good, but this one is off the charts. Rob Ida and Tom Cotter are kindred spirits with different but complementary interests and talents. And Tom is a great interpreter, commentator, and context-provider. Five stars!
I just want to say that this was one of the most insperational installments of this show/series. It is very hard to be able to make your dreams come true. For some, things just fall into place. Rob has worked hard and has earned all the respect he deserves. Cool cars, cool show,great people! Thanks!
Well done Rob. Great example of teamwork, quality of work, innovation and treating people the right way. How all business should be done.
Tom, this was EXCELLENT!! One of my favorite episodes ever (and I’ve been watching you for years) 👍
it is so amazing how soon you click start that the video is done yet there is so much between start and finish but feels as though time stands still while breathing in the history and stories of the cars featured- the people you get to talk with and go over their builds and rides- truly awe inspiring. Keep up the great work :)
Awesome episode Tom with someone I'm honored to call a friend. Both Rob and his Dad Bob are true gentlemen along with being ultimate craftsmen!
although Im sure Rob has worked and worked and worked his craft.....this is something he was born with, deep inside. There are craftsman.....then, there is this
75 and being doing cars since age 12 and I still learn something every day about cars. Thanks for a very cool episode.
The Story is STILL the "thing" and this is a great story, great episode. Thanks
This is one of the coolest episodes ever.
I think his answer about time vrs C A D.
I've attended a trade school and this was what we talked about during our time at school... not C A D but that technology would be 100 % involved in all trades and I don't recall anyone feeling as though technology would be replace us.
Hence our school was a business & Technology. That was 1976 1979 was when I was done!! I minored in multiple trades (welding, sheet metal, upholstery auto mechanics, auto body, painting, machine shop etc) majored in Culinary arts...
Really appreciate this content and your guest is a fantastic orator thank you.
Cheers
Doug 😎
Rob is an absolute legend!! Amazing content! His custom work is second to none.
The customer's Jag puzzles me, though. I understand hot-rodding and custom touches, but Rob is basically building them an e-type coupe from a 2+2. I can't imagine this is cheaper than just buying a rough series 1 e-type and customizing that, without needing to chop the entire body and frame to bits.
No No No Don't end this Video. OMG the best Video ever. If i was young I'd pay to work for this shop and i'd consider it a life well spent.
I never knew about rob. Damn you are talented
The shock of the new, is the art of the old. Beautiful work Rob.
I believe there are very few craftsmen/people on the same level as Rob Ida.
And he seems incredibly humble.
"How much patience you guys got?"
If this video was 8 hours long, I'd still think it was too short.
Rob Ida is a wonderful guy and extremely talented. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching his work over the years and talking with him online. I'd love to see his shop someday.
Great episode Tom.
Guys like Rob and his Dad are amazing people.
Integrating old and new is how it should be done. That is true hot rodding.
it was nice to see Rob follow the trade in his fathers footprint and show his awesome talents of car building and the story with it great family history. great episode Tom keep them coming.
Don't get me wrong, i enjoy the other shows and features on this channel, but Barn Finds and shop tour's like this is what we watch this channel for. Please keep these videos coming, and so will we
Love that you go around and share all of these beautiful cars and trucks Thank you
This was a great video and interview of Mr. Ida. I really respect people who can craft things out of raw metal and turn it into masterpieces. I always wanted to learn to weld and machine stuff, but don't have the space or tools to do it, but I can admire amazing work like what he does. Keep up the good work both of you from finding classics to building them.
Rob Ida is also responsible in large part for the resurrection of the Asbury Park Circuit cruise nights. A fantastic weekly event.
I totally agree what you said about Rob at the end of the episode. He would be a guy I would be honored to know and a great example for young car guys to follow. Good video!
Great show, rob's unbelievable talent, is almost as great as his humble respect for his craft. What a cool guy, who deserves recognition
Tom I look forward to your posts as they reflect the feel of the hobby and passion. Thank you for sharing
I want to thank you for this specific video. I am 71 yo and this is by far the best I have seen and growing up I had a good friend, Curtiss Ness, Washington and he was like you all. This video was like watching and listening to Curt again. The fly on the wall kinda of vid and the 30 minutes flew by. If you could do another (with Rob Ida) more in depth, I for one would love it.. Thank you and to Rob Ida.
Superb episode! Really enjoyed it. Merry Christmas from 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Best video I seen all year! Rob Ida is one of those iconic builders I read about in the pages of HOT
ROD, going back to the eighties.
Holy, what an amazing artist and builder, the stories alone are inspiring, love it
The stories are always amazing, I could watch this for hours.
Rob is pure artistic expression through his cars and trucks!
EXCELLENT SHOW….what a shop and history….thanks to both of you!👍👍
What a great session at Rob's. He seems like a real gentleman. thanks for sharing.
Everything there is next-level cool. Awesome. Kudos to Mr. Ida and thank you for this great episode!
What a great guy! we need more like this!
Cool dude and i like how he carries on his fathers passoin for cars..
The cars are absolutely amazing and cool. But Rob’s personal story is what makes this one of my favorite episodes of BFH!
I have absolutely zero interest in any of these vehicles, UNTIL now. This is amazing history. Thanks for making this happen, again.....
Rob is a phenomenal artist! What he does is artwork,not body work.
Amazing life story. Thank you for a truly memorable episode.
Tom , this was a great episode. Never heard of Rob Ida before but I will be looking forward to seeing more of his work. And your enthusiasm in this episode shown thru so much I felt as though I was in the shop with you. Looking forward for the next episode ❗️🇺🇸
Tom: Your shows just keep getting better and better! Mr. Ida is a world class builder. I loved what you said about his cars being in a future museum like Winfield's, Barris's, etc. Excellent episode!
Hope you had a great holiday!
Found channel from finding Hagerty channel on Samsung TV Plus. Now buying some books. Been watching channel for 3 hours and I can't change it. ME SOO HAPPY!
Love the video, thank you for posting it. You are correct in the assumption that it could have gone longer and still be both informative and entertaining.
Very good video !! I have followed the Ida's off and on over the years and it was so good to see the shop . Many thanks for this !!!
Hands down, my favorite builder. Amazing range of vehicles and projects under his belt. The Jack Kiely Merc, in my eyes is the most beautiful custom ever built. I was heartbroken when the Torpedo project project couldn't be finished. I'd love to see some of his builds in person one day
Amazing I love barn find hunter I’m
25 so probably younger than most of your viewers
That truck, built by a 14 year old is simply amazing. I would love to visit Rob's shop- I'm jealous.
Wow I loved this episode I first saw the hemi Healey in a hot rod magazine story and fell in love with the concept. That’s great to see it again. Thanks for sharing the story.
Ida Automotive is literally a town over from me, and Rob is a really cool dude. I met him once or twice and he's humble and down to earth. Does fantastic work too!
Great video Tom. Rob Ida what a smart person with great skills.
The best episode so far, thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Nice history Rob and so glad to meet you ( through RUclips). I remember your dads car !!
A lot of great builds came out of this Shop
Wow. What a way to end the year. Looking forward to 2024!
Tks Tom for one amazin video an interview on Mr.Ida an his passion an vision plus self made talents,what a team he has,an ur correct,his sculptures will be in museums. HAPPY NEW YR
Been away from Barn Find Hunters for several years. This one brought me back. GREAT interview with Mr. Ida. I was alerted to his work on a Tucker restoration that I believe he was involved in.
The custom automotive future is in good hands. An incredible episode. Thanks Tom.
In 1969, Culver City CA. I saw an MG TD with a 392 HEMI. Cassler Checker Flag Cheater Slicks out back. Scary looking rod.
0:35
Kool vid Tom that guy has real talent keep the vids coming oh a big high from Auckland New Zealand❤
Rob’s a great dude! Awesome!!
Anyone who is interested in the CNC metal forming, or Roboforming, should really watch Smarter Everyday's video on the subject. He visits a company who is developing the technology and they really in depth. It gets quite technical at some points, but everything is explained well. Definitely the future of small scale or very complex metal forming.
Great episode!!! We should all live this type of life.
Really appreciated meeting Rob. Really enjoyed the video - excellent 0:15
What a guy! Like yo usaid, you could just talk to this guy for hours! Brilliant.
Your best show yet. Loved it.
That blue truck is stunning.
Probably the best episode I've seen yet. More hot rods please 👍
to see this Henry J go to waste is killing me: Those little simple cars were stunningly beautiful.
I like that he talks to you and not down to you like other car builder's.
Amazing, what a talent, best hot rods ive ever seen, Dofferent leauge..
man the hand made trim on that caddie is just incredible
WOW! What a man - great great video. I loved every second of it, well done!
Outstanding episode. Helps boost my motivation to finish my project car
Love this channel, always a wonderful treat! I’ve insured several of my classic cars through Haggerty also. Keep bringing the great videos guys!
impressive - very talented and kind man! Great episode
