I have started fabricating in the early 90's and the more I got into it i fell in love with Hot rods and bikes. The first project I had is my 66 Chevy II and I wanted to build everything I could get by hands. On the Chevy II I build my rear end housing that fit a 9 inch center section, along with custom A arms that where shorter so that i can fit custom wheels and have the car sit at the desire ride height. Not able to afford aftermarket parts I also made my own steering column and pedals.
I started working for world famous Don Davis Race Cars which
Don became a good friend and mentor. Building dragsters and super comp, super gas NHRA race car was the beginning of what I hoped some day I would master the art of building cars. After learning fiber glass, mold making, and metal working I moved on and worked at Rick's Hot Rods, and that's where I tested my skills on hot rods. Shortly after a couple of years helping developing stainless steel gas tanks into a new business I decided to move on.
Now I'm just a regular hot rodder I love bikes and cars so much that I decided to make it a big part of my life and made it a career. In 2002 I opened my own shop. Focusing on a outlook on fabrication we restore hot rods and bikes. We don't just assemble and bolt parts on we build cars, complete car or just if needed help with certain problem solving.
Along the way I had help polishing my skills with the help of famous Jon Ward witch build the first Knight Rider, Tango and Cash, Highway man movie and TV cars also won 3rd the Indy 24hr race, and panamerican road race in the 70"s.
We had a completed a couple of project in drifting and a Jon's Kurtis race car that he has won in. That pushed me in learning more about the core of what hot rodding is today.
Our shop consists of quality fabrication of custom building sheet metal shaping, machining, custom exhaust, plumbing, chassis, suspension building.
The shop houses 8 cars 5 bikes from local and out of town work. We have the resources of building projects from start to finish no matter how big or how small. We have done medical, restaurant, industrial equipment, and even unique sewing machined and stoves. We love to restore never stop learning.
Love the HAMB
