RUST.CO is a custom automotive and aerospace artifact business established in 2010. It designs and hand-builds 1-of-1 statement pieces: custom automotive benches, specialized refrigeration units, shell seating and aerospace memorabilia, made for private collections, executive suites and mancaves.
Every piece is unique. Nothing is reproduced, and once a piece is sold it is gone permanently. Each purchase includes white-glove delivery, and all consultations are available in English and Spanish.
Shop record
Heavy metal, finished like fine furniture.
Since 2010, RUST.CO has been pulling authentic automotive and aviation hardware out of retirement and giving it a second working life. Tailgates become benches. Fuselage panels become walls of memorabilia. Classic grilles front refrigeration units that keep a private bar honest.
Each piece is engineered to be used, not just looked at: welded, riveted, wired and finished by hand, then documented so its new owner knows exactly what they are acquiring.
