The Saga of “Hot Rod Hank”
Hank started hot-rodding in his high school years back in ’81. His first experience was when his awesome shop teacher brought him to a backlot drag race at Connecticut Dragway. Hank’s passion for cars continued after graduating, when he pursued amateur stock race racing and stunt driving.
Soon after arriving in Florida in the mid-80s, Hank would meet his soon-to-be mentor, Bill, at a car show. Bill had been in the car business his entire life and he was gracious enough to take Hank under his wing and share his knowledge and friends. During the day, Hank worked as a building contractor and at night would meet up with Bill to build cars. They would go on to show them up and down the Eastern Seaboard winning many trophies, including 4 “Best in Shows”. It was at this point that he knew his craftsmanship had reached a very high level.
Hank’s goal is to be “one of the best in the industry”, and it’s his perfectionist spirit that separates the men from the boys. Customers come from as far away as Ohio and Tennessee to have Hank work on and build one-off cars and trucks. “Professionalism, trust, and craftsmanship are the keys to success” says Hank.
