Who We Are
Paul Jacob (owner)
Having learned the trade in New York and continuing to refine my skills in the heart of Minneapolis Minnesota, I strive to carry my passion for the restoration of vintage cars and creation of artwork onward for years to come.
My goals are to carry my passion and love for classic restoration onward for years to come, and educate younger generations as I continue this journey. Having started at 16 years old, I know firsthand that I couldn’t have done it alone, and because of this, I know how important it is to be a team player and teach what I have learned. Having become well acquainted with so called, ‘‘Trade Secrets’’, I feel as though keeping these to oneself can only be a detriment to the future of this community in the long-run.
By branching out from cars and also accepting other types of welding repair jobs, I have been able to refine my restoration skills and practice precision welding. Through broadening my skillset, I have since taken on jobs from snowmobiles to small airplanes. I now also create art pieces that requires patience and a steady hand.

Welding and creating artwork gives me great satisfaction, especially once I cross the finish-line of a large project. The more complicated and involved the jobs are, the more I become immersed in my work, as it becomes a puzzle for me to solve.
