His team has remained by his side for 15+ years and has been rated best of the best in their respective fields. Let's face it... there is no team without Dustin.
PAINTER PRO
Our painter has been in the automotive paint industry for his entire adult life. Having painted an uncountable number of vehicles throughout his 35+ years in the business, there’s not much he hasn’t tried... at least once. He specializes in multi color paint jobs, hand laid pinstripe lines, flames, graphics and tribal accents. He hand paints every car we build, using various airbrushing techniques to give shadowing effects and smoked accents. He's worked side by side with Dustin for over 15 years. If you can dream it, he can bring it to life!
UPHOLSTERY WIZARD
Often thought of as one of the most important aspects of an open air golf cart style vehicle. The seating and upholstery are one of the first aspects of the car that catches the eye. That being said, our upholstery wizard is one of the best in the entire industry world wide!! Specializing in multi color, multi texture designs, diamond prints and various creative inlays; our seats are some of the very best you will find. He uses various techniques such as double stitch, cross fades and piping as well as company or team logos. Additional padding is inserted inside each of our seat cushions, giving them a slightly thicker appearance yet ultra comfortable feeling ensuring they will last for years to come. You will not see, feel, or sit on a better fitted golf car seat. Our upholstery wizard has worked exclusively with Dustin since 2005 and has done countless vehicles.
#1 FABRICATION PHENOMENON
Truly one of the most important characteristics of any vehicle is the suspension and drive train. Our fab tech is the most highly skilled master GEM technician in the entire world, making him an invaluable addition to our team. He began working on GEM cars back in 2000 and has literally tens of thousands of hours of experience under his belt. He was the first to design hand built lift kits ranging in size from 4”, 6” and 8” sizes. Dustin and our #1 fabrication phenomenon have been working side by side for 14+ years and have lifted hundreds of GEM electric vehicles, including generation 1 model cars, generation 2 model cars as well as the worlds only lifted generation 3 model GEM cars. All of our roof racks, custom golf kits, front pre runner bumpers, rear seat conversions, rear utility attachments, rear ski rack attachments, tow hitch receivers and nerf bar side steps are hand built.
