1954 Chevrolet

Client: Devoe and Lumi Hoffer
New Paris, IN

Devoe Hoffer was the muscle behind this machine. It was his vision to create this sleek ride with it’s modified 53 front clip, new bed and lowered stance. We brought the elbow grease and finishing touches, bringing back to life the worn out metal that had pitted and rotted in places throughout the years. Hoffer chose Barbados Metallic Blue and complimented the color with saddle leather mustang interior. Kudos to Devoe on an outstanding build!

1986 Chevrolet Sierra 3500

Client: Jason & Katie Culp
New Paris, Indiana

This one ton dually was modified to have a single rear wheel axle operating with 4 wheel drive. Under the hood, Jason Culp pulled the stock motor and replaced it with a tried and true Cummins. We brought the body back to tip top shape replacing rotten body panels and doors and creating a nearly new retro truck. Jason added his own custom finishes with a new grill, tires and accessories. The underneath and bottom portion of the truck was treated with a sprayed rock chip guard (as well as the bed). The truck then got a shiny coat of Spicy Merlot base/clear coat by Planet Color. With the flashy color, long wheel base and 35″ tires, it is hard to miss the Culps when they are in the neighborhood.

1985 Ford F350

Client: Kyle Bontrager
Nappanee, Indiana

As featured in Four Wheeler Magazine, “Kyle Bontrager’s ’85 started out as a 4×2 chassis with a 460 Ford gasser. Now it’s a beefy 4×4 with a ’91 Cummins diesel. If the Bontrager name rings a bell, Kyle is the son of Nappanee 4×4 building legend, Mark Bontrager. Like father, like son.”

We can’t take credit for the truck, just the awesome paint job. Kyle put a lot of his own sweat into the project with us. Congrats Kyle on a job well done! Props to JR Ryman of Ryman Designs for his handiwork on the custom painted F350 badge.

Fabian brought his 1997 S-10 Extreme to retro fit a 2001 Trailblazer front clip. We were delighted to get on board with this project. It took some careful planning and tweaking, but the job turned out great.

1978 F350

Client: William Loudin
Mishawaka, Indiana

This truck came to us from 4×4 legend Mark Bontrager owner of Barney’s 4×4. The truck is outfitted in completely custom suspension and 4wd components by Mark to perfectly move the monster tires and paired with a super high output 800 HP+ engine with blower. Not your average daily driver, but sure is an eye catcher at the Off Road Jamboree across the Midwest. We polished up this jewel with some body work and superb high gloss metallic blue paint. It’s a perfect example of taking something ordinary and making it extraordinary.
