Hello everyone. Before I tell you about myself I want to say there is an insane amount of talented individuals on this forum. Some of these builds absolutely blow me away. You are all very inspirational.
Now I guess you all want to know about me. I'm a middle aged Fabricator from Dayton Ohio. I work in a Hot Rod shop by day and in my shop at home in the evenings. During the day I build hot rod cars, at night I work on vintage motorcycles. I have worked for some of the biggest names in the hot rod industry. I worked for 13 years for Don Pilkinton of Don's Hot Rods. I worked on two of the three Riddler winning cars that were built at Don's. I have lost count as to how many total cars I worked while there. Don is the only man to have ever built three Riddler winning cars besides Chip Foose. Don won his three before Chip did. Don was the first to build a car that won the Riddler and Americas Most Beautiful Roadster as well. I learned metal working from one of the best metal men in the country while at Dons. Scott Stickly. Truly a master of the trade. I miss working with him.
Don fell ill around 2007 and helped me get on at Lobeck's V8 Shop in Springfield working for Barry and Ginny Lobeck. Another well known giant in the industry. I built several high end vintage tin road rockets while at Lobecks as well. Anyone familiar with the hot rod industry knows of Barry, and also knows he recently passed away losing his battle with cancer. I work for Barry's former painter now, Mac Nicewander of Lo-Man Rods in Dayton. I'm currently beating out the body on Kevin Svardas 1941 Willys gasser along with a ton of other projects we have going on.
I look forward to coming home and changing pace a little. The bikes help me unwind! I currently have three projects of my own and one my oldest son and I are working on. Below are some pics of a couple of my projects. Enjoy.
