About
MEET THE BBT
FAB TEAM
If someone asked me to describe what we do and who we are in one word, I'd say "Coachbuilders" because we live, breathe, thrive and excel at building and recreating large pieces, often entire sections of the cars our customers entrust to us. From complete interiors to floor pans, rocker panels, bumpers, roll cages, entire roof structures, inner structural supports and more, if it's metal chances are good we've formed it by hand to perfectly fit the design of the project at hand. And everything we do for a project is based from that mindset, the one that sees an entire project, in its finished form, come together piece by coachbuilt piece.
