About

    My business is based on Madeline Island, a small island in Lake Superior. I was born and raised here. For as long as I can remember, I thought my dad's custom ’41 Dodge weapons carrier was the coolest thing there was. Over the years, that turned into a passion for driving and enjoying a variety of vintage cars and trucks. Not always having the budget to replace something that broke or wore out, I spent countless hours maintaining and repairing my vehicles to keep them on the road. I was able to get a good understanding of engine and driveline operation by experience, but I had no idea where to begin to repair rusted car bodies, let alone build a custom metal panel from scratch!

   In 2013 I attended Hot Rod Institute in Rapid City, South Dakota. I learned how to MIG and TIG weld in their Chassis Fabrication class, and how to shape and weld sheet metal in their Body Fabrication class. I have used this training and thousands of hours of experience to build my metalwork skills. I’m motivated by the creativity and the challenge of metal fabrication, by keeping a traditional skill alive, and by getting more vintage cars on the road.

   If you need someone to build a sheet metal panel that is no longer being produced, make a custom formed panel from scratch, cut out and weld in a replacement sheet metal panel, alter a vehicle frame or suspension, or just need help keeping a vintage vehicle on the road, please consider hiring me for the job.
