Mutilators   

 
My two brothers and I were always into cars as our dad was a racer and mechanic.
 

In 1981, I moved up to Norcal with my parents and younger brother Matthew to work on a gold mine which gave me lots of metal fab experience (and good work habits). Shortly after, I began building
muscle cars and Speedway cars and raced for many years. I seemed to have a good understanding of suspension design which helped many of the cars I built or worked on which won many races and championships.

My earliest jobs all enveloped automotive repair or race car fabrication.

I Spent a few years building race motors and was a cylinder head machinist. I spent a few years at a custom fab shop where we built Cobra kit cars and restored vintage race cars.

 
I got married in 1991 and years later I took a job as a parts manager for a small parts store for about  10 years or so. In 2000, My older brother Bob and I started a car club called that we named The Defenders. It brought us closer together and we made lots of great friends.

About 5 years ago I decided to go out on my own and purchased Gold Country Muffler, an established shop that originally opened in the 60's. Previous owner ran it into the ground so I had much work ahead. I was well known in my small town and it  didn't take long for things to take shape.

I started building my first hot rod, a 1931 Ford coupe,and finished it in 2005 and received a few trophies.

 
I spend lots of time with friends with the same interests. Being a "Mopar" fan, I'm currently building a 1955 Plymouth "gasser".
I love fabricating and always have a fine touch for building horsepower.
