SUCCESS QUOTE 

“Good work is never cheap and cheap work is never good.”

BUSINESS CHALLENGE 

Combine frustration with the shops where Don was working. Add in a costly divorce. Mixed with a desire for change, and you have all the making of a challenge that became a new business.

AH-HA MOMENT 

When a potential customer told Don he would hire him to restore his Pantera if he ever had his own shop, that’s all Don needed to hear to start his own business.
