Classic Builds.

My best friend had a '66 Impala in high school, and that car is what sparked my interest in classic cars. From there I developed a genuine passion for how these machines work, and spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs of keeping them running right. At car shows, the builds with flawless paint and immaculate interiors are consistently let down by messy electrical work — exposed wiring, poorly routed runs, and aftermarket additions that were clearly an afterthought. I started focusing on that gap: doing electrical work that's clean, professional, and invisible enough that it doesn't compete with the rest of the build.
