Meet the Business Owner: Jack E.
Jack started building cars at the early age of 13 when his parents purchased a wrecked 1967 Austin Healey 3000. Jack did a complete frame off rebuild and was hooked by the car bug instantly. He has built over 100 custom cars since, including everything from custom vans to 8 second drag cars. He has owned and built Corvettes, Camaros, street rods, customs, classics, and even custom boats.
Jack graduated from North Texas State University (UNT) in 1977 with a BBA Degree in Business Administration and then worked in the semi-conductor industry until deciding to go into business for himself in 1986. He owned and operated a general auto repair shop but was always building custom cars through that business as well. In 1994, with the back of the shop full of street rods and customs, he decided it was time to change hats.
Jack and the family moved to their current location in Kaufman in 1994 and incorporated as North Texas Rod and Custom. The rest is history.
