Tony’s passion for automobiles officially began at age 9 when he got his first motorcycle. This led to an infatuation with all things mechanical. He got his first car at age 15, and learned to paint automobiles at age 19. Since then, Tony has focused on automotive body and framework restoration. He has managed and co-owned a body shop, worked in pro racing as a crew chief and team manager in the Toyota Atlantic Series, and raced go-carts and motorcycles. Today Tony has a shop in my hometown of San Clemente where he specialize in Porsche restorations.
