History
Established in 2005.
After over 30 years of fixing old cars for myself and others, I was given the opportunity to do it full time. Started with a crew of 3, built several show winners and nice drivers. With the economy crash had to lay-off crew, almost shut the doors. In 2012 moved from Jerome to Twin Falls. Had just enough work for myself to squeak by. Still able to produce award winning vehicles. 2014 has improved, have part time help. About to hire fulltime again. Future looking good!

At age 13(1971) I got my first classic vehicle, a 1954 Studebaker pu, learned a lot of "how-not-to-do-things" on it. Final year of H.S. moved to Fresno, CA and took an auto body class, 3 hours a day. Learned old school metal finishing, welding, lead work, Re-did most of the body work on the Studey and frenched all the lights of my 62 Volvo. Studey ended up with a Cadillac v8 engine, trans and rearend. Tons of fun and more tickets than all my other vehicles put together. Back to Idaho. Over the years I've had many cars from a Model A, 36,37, 40,41, 56 Fords, 37 Nash, 33 Ply, 56 Chevy, 2- 59 T-birds, 60 T-bird, 66 GTO, 68 Olds Cutlass, 4 more Studebaker pu's, 29 & 40 Studebaker cars .
