Stop by the booth at Good Guys Indianapolis - (June 8-10 2007)

This is a great car show to start off the show season. There is always so much to see and do. There is a large variety of cars to see if you can pull yourself away from watching the nostalgic drag racing. If you can make it out, stop by booth and say hello.

Finished Trans Am for Fast Forward Race Cars - (May 2007)

Just finished up all the fabrication for this wicked chromoly chassis car built by Aaron Stapleton.

This is the 5th car I have completed the tin work for. The Trans Am interior is all aluminum and has a triangle bead theme which accents most of the tubes from below and is outfitted with carbon fiber wheels tubs. Check out the details and past projects I have done at:

World Of Wheels (Chicago) January 26-28, 2007

This was my first indoor show. I had a great time and met many new people. It was quite different from the typical shows that I attend. I did well in the show. I received a pick for Top 20, Best In Class for Radical Street Rod Roadster, Outstanding Engineered, and an award called Rising Star.
