FNG from Illinois

[Ray Gun]

Hello from Illinois! New here. Just found this site via the new Hot Rod magazine. I hope to meet new friends and LEARN. You can never have too much of that.

I’m not your run-of-the-mill “master builder” as so many fabricators seem to be today. Not me, I’m always learning, and am far from being a “master” of metal craft. I’ve had my hands in cars and bikes since that meant the pedal kind.

I attended the University Of Alaska for Welding Technologies and then to the U.S. Air Force and their Aircraft Fabricators School at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD. After that was on to Autofab Racecars where I studied under Mark Constantine and learned all about Gow and monster horsepower.

After moving to Illinois, I decided a real Hot Rod shop was lacking in the area, and opened my shop.
