The Crew

Walk into the shop on any given Saturday and you'll find the same people who've always been there, doing what they've always done: building cars right.

James Spiroff

James is the one who makes everything real. Every part in the catalog, every custom build that rolls through the door, started as a problem James decided he was going to solve — and then solved, by hand, in a way that holds up. He's spent a lifetime learning how to make things well, from ceramics to choppers to Continentals, and it shows in the work.

Gavin Spiroff

Gavin is the newest full-timer, but not the newest face. He's been underfoot in this shop since he was old enough to hold a hose, showing up every weekend from sixth grade through high school and picking up more of the trade with each visit. Now he's back for good, as a partner rather than an apprentice, splitting his time between growing the business side of things and staying elbow-deep in the builds alongside his dad.

Eric Botelho

And then there's Eric Botelho — "Uncle Eric" to Gavin, and James's friend for longer than anyone can quite pin down. Eric isn't family by blood, but he's earned the title anyway, showing up nearly every single Saturday to work the Lincolns and whatever else has rolled into the shop that week. Some crews get built by hiring. This one got built by someone who just kept showing up.
