Formerly located in Largo Florida,over the past 10 years my shop has expanded from a hobby shop for my personal projects into a growing business in restoring primarily Split Window VW Buses.

After several good years of business in Florida, I have made the move to the Charlotte ,North Carolina area. I hope to have many more years of the same customer satisfaction in a new location.

This site was put together mainly for display of my work to the owners of the featured vehicles being worked on.
While I hope that there will always be work in sight for me to tackle,i am not exactly trying to fish for more. As it is ,i have work lined up to keep me busy for some time. If you understand the time and cost which goes into a proper job in restoring one of these old buses and feel that you can handle that and dont mind waiting for a quality job,please do contact me. If waiting is not your thing ,you may want to look elsewhere. 

I am mostly focused in the art of rust repair,fabrication but am not limited to this. You will see in past and present projects that i have fully painted ,fully assembled interior work and dabble in mechanical work but at the same time i prefer the metal repair the most.

The site is new to me and I will slowly try to build it as things develop.
look around and enjoy. hopefully, if anything,you have just killed some time away from the TV and picked up some inspiration to work on your own projects.

thanks for looking
