About Me

http://www.CustomOhio.com

Since 1982 I have worked in this industry and seen my share of beautiful cars and bikes. I've met wonderful people who share the same passions for their beauty and sound. For years I have survived simply by word of mouth from past clients. Now I am opening up my garage doors to the larger public. It's time to bring a whole new type of sexy back to the highways!
I have recently been using my time very efficiently. We are doing everything we can to become the most environmentally friendly & conscious automotive shop around. I've spent months after months studying the process of converting regular gas guzzling cars & trucks into electric vehicles. We're are talking, Zero emissions being emitted from your vehicle. Plug into any 120V or higher outlet and charge for a few hours. I have obtained the knowledge to convert a vehicle that can get at up to 300 miles on a single charge with speeds of 65+ mph. It all boils down to what you are willing to spend and the mileage and speed you need. In town drivers may only need up to a 50 mile charge and speed of 45 mph. Thus less batteries, conversion equipment and less expense. Did we mention you would never pay a single penny in gas ever again? Imagine a single month without attaching the gas nozzle to your car and swiping your card at the machine. Stop feeding the machine!
We reside out in the country and my wife & I run Custom Ohio out of a very large detached garage on the property. We are currently seeking a windmill to be fully off the electrical grid. Our home and the autobody shop would run entirely on wind power. Our hope is to have the windmill up and running no later than next summer. If business picks up enough, this summer would work as well.
My doors are always open, and I'm always scheduling in some sort of work. No matter how small or large. From small fender benders and winter accidents, custom fabrication and paint, mechanical work, electric vehicle conversion, welding and restoration to antique farm equipment, classic & imported cars, motorcycles, painted or vinyl striping, large accident repair, metal sign painting, business & fleet cars to rust damage. You name it, I can fix it, customize it, fabricate it or convert it! It's what I've being doing for over 25 years! Never a dissatisfied client!
Happily married for over 8 years to the love of my life Kandice! For over 25 years I have been in the automotive industry. I've done numerous custom jobs over the years but have always worked with and had a strong passion for cars. I'm a professional at what I do and I take pride in my work. I'm professionally licensed and trained in a large multitude of areas in the automotive industry. I've attending different schooling programs and educational courses through out my years to stay on top of the game.
Through out my years I have had the privilege of working on beautiful classic cars to high end imports. I've also worked for some great garages in the past, but feel it's time for me to expand and grow on my own and stop supporting someone else's wallet. There is so much good that could be done in the world and I want to give back as much as possible.
I recently sold my 1972 Heavy Chevy that had a custom 8 inch cowl inducted hood along with custom paint & work. A couple years ago my wife requested that I paint her Firebird with blue flames like on a hot fire. She also wanted metal flake work and every nook & cranny covered that said anything to do with the cars make & model. I can proudly say we have both won 1st place trophies at car shows. 14 hours in the flames, custom fabrication and a lot of sweat and she was done. Kandice sold her Firebird as well almost a year ago. We saw no need for them at this point in our life. We put the money towards medical bills and with hopes of leaving my 9-5 job for someone else behind. We were tired of supporting the oil industry and both our gars loved to suck it down! We figured it was part of our evolving and becoming more aware of the current worldly conditions.
~~~~I've learned that life is too short to take things for granted. Enjoy what you have, offer what you can give and love as though there is no tomorrow.~~~
