Building Trucks
I specialize in building and customizing large trucks and pickup trucks, handling every aspect from front to back. I take pride in preparing these trucks for shows—fully polished, detailed, and show‑ready—and I also build high‑performance setups for truck pulls. My work includes designing and assembling bigger, more powerful engines with increased horsepower and torque. In addition to my personal builds, I also rebuild and restore trucks for others who need expert help.
