Your inspiration

My inspiration's in life have come from the regular source's... I grew under my dads wing and basically watched everything he did in the garage, on the lathe, mill and any other tool he used to build things. My dad always told me, K.I.S.S - KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID, and "If Its Worth Doing, its Worth Over Doing"... those words i live by everyday...

My main inspirations in life to this date are as follows: My Dad of course... the old jesse james, not the TV jesse james that sold out, the old JJ that built motorcycles and whatever else he could get his hands on...

Since meeting Roger Goldammer and seeing his bikes that he builds i def. have to put him on the list. the world record holding bike that he built on biker build off has an engine in it that was designed and manufactured at the shop i work at...

last but not least Max Fish, i always heard about this max fish guy that build baddass shit and after meeting him a year or so ago and staying at his house for a day, chatting with him about whatever came up in conversation, things i saw that week at his shop and things he said to me have really opened up my eyes to what im always striving to be.

...and you have opened my eyes to the fact that not all Canadians have beedy little eyes and floppy heads...

...some of them might even make REALLY nice brake parts.

hahahahahahahahahaha........

BOB GRANT.

My inspiration has been seeing people turn just pieces of metal into works of art IN PERSON. Bob Grant, guy amazes me to no end. And you Max, you make it look like its just an extension of yourself. Just amazing. And probably my biggest inspiration is Cole Foster. Guy just builds some of the nicest stuff i've ever seen!!

as far as minitruck inspiration i will have to say max, bob grant and steve neilsen over at cando art of noize phoenix too with all of there cars built minitruck style. if you ever need inspration give steve a call lol. also my buddy max if his trucks werent finished i would have a hard time finishing mine but when i see his im like damm i need to get the ball rollin. my club brothers too without them i wouldnt have taken my truck to teh next level.

as far as other inspiration lifestle los angeles a lowrider car club that just builds the best stuff out there. i also like the guys that build euros such as eurotuner mag etc etc because most of these guys build them so clean.

Sean Mahoney of the former Master Image Customs, Todd Wilt from Wilt built customs, Brian Jendro using the first airbag for minitruck suspension. The guys from Red's Hydraulics. Least of all lets not forget MINI TRUCKIN mag I am sure it's given all of us some sort of inspiration over the years.

bob grant for the sheetmetal, extensive for building the shit no one else can afford, Troy Trepanier hands down is the best overall builder ever. the sniper, predater, rumbler, intruder,just some of the worlds baddest cars, Pinkees for building quality rat rods style cars and trucks. aaron iha for takeing minitruck to the next level. Robbie Azevedo for bieing so young yet so cool and talented. lucky 7 for being the best paint shop around and ants isuzu and any other bad ass ride in minitruckin.

For metal fabrication I'm going with Bob Grant and Trepanier.
For overall design and imagination, probably Foose and Trepanier.
For aluminum fabrication there is a gentleman in my area that is unbelievable, and one that is family, they are my grandfather and a man named Larry Rampick.
For paint work I'd have to go with Charlie Hutton, Wargo, and my boy Jason Moellering- has won over 10 best paint awards with his burban and it never saw a paint booth to get sprayed, kinda have to say there is a lot of braggin rights there. And his burban also was on the Dupont calender, you may remember it was green and silver with orange tribal middle.
For interior fabrication, I'd have to go with Dave "Fishman" Riveria, and a guy who I work with Jim Vineyard, just amazing eyes for detail and fabrication.
