Customer Story: Kris H.

I don't think there was a time in my life that didn't involve cars. In fact, there's a pic of my mom pregnant with me standing next to Carol Shelby in front of their Shelby. Every weekend was spent in the barn, at the junkyard or at a car show. When I was about ten, my dad finally got his hands on a 40 Ford sedan that he was going to hot rod. Well after a couple of years he lost interest and sold it. I have always been drawing, designing and building models of hot rods, and I just got to the point where I needed to give these ideas some life.

So about two years ago I bought a 47 Ford coupe. After the loss of a couple of jobs and my wife's health issues, I'm blessed to still have her, the house, the hot rod, and a new job that helps me pursue my passions.
