Meet The Crew
The Brown Brothers are more than skilled metal craftsmen, fabricators and car builders. They are true, lifelong hot rodders who do what they do because they love it. You might say they can't help it because they were influenced by their father and uncle who spent most of their free time building chopped, channeled and "breathed-on" cars of their own - just because. And when you think about it, what better reason is there to build a hot rod?
