Meet Our Team

Brad Johnson is the heart and soul of the shop—and proudly the old man of the crew. After enlisting in the U.S. Army and returning home, Brad continued his lifelong love of cars, eventually owning and operating his own custom car shop until retirement.

Retirement didn’t slow him down for long. Still passionate about restoration, Brad decided he wasn’t done yet—and plans to be in the shop for the long haul. You’ll find him coming to work every day, hunting the internet for your next project, and tracking down that one hard-to-find part needed to finish the job.

With decades of hands-on experience, unmatched problem-solving skills, and an uncanny ability to locate parts—even if they’re buried in piles of shop clutter—Brad brings invaluable knowledge and dedication to every project.

When Brad isn’t at the shop, you’ll find him at local car shows and cruise nights, or proudly supporting his grandchildren and all of their activities.

Mary Johnson has been the company’s Accountant and Bookkeeper for over five years, bringing dedication, reliability, and attention to detail to her role. In addition to managing the books, Mary helps ensure the office is kept clean, organized, and running smoothly.

Outside of work, Mary is known for her generosity and community involvement. She donates her time to Camp Courageous, her church, the local food bank, and the Catholic Sisters, always eager to help where she is needed most.

When she’s not giving back, Mary can be found cheering on her grandchildren and attending their many activities, proudly supporting them every step of the way.

A die-hard Mustang enthusiast, Noah spends his free time at local autocross events, pushing limits and having fun doing it. When he’s not in the shop or at the track, he’s happily taking orders from his new bride—proof that he knows when to wrench hard and when to listen.
