​​Who We Are
 
We understand the commitment it takes to restore a car or build a hot rod.  We know the amount of passion and sacrifice it takes to build a vehicle that will be passed down through generations. We strive to go through this process as a partner with the customer, to produce the best experience and car possible.

"​I started 99 West Customs in February 2006 and feel very blessed with the opportunities this business has provided.  I’m looking forward to new projects and meeting new customers. I have loved the friends I've made along the way while in this business.  My hobbies include cooking with the Traeger, vintage drag racing, and spending time with my wife."

​"I became part of the team in September 2023, and I'm so excited to be here. I run the office, conduct monthly safety meetings with the crew, answer phone calls, research and order parts, organize, and handle inventory. I assist with accounts receivable and payables. I like working in the shop too, especially detailing. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, exploring, polishing rocks, and playing with our animals."

​"I'm the newest member of the team and started in January 2025. My goal is to learn auto restoration basics, with a special emphasis on wiring. I like the close-knit, family-like environment. Everyone is nice and patient, which makes it fun and easier to learn. Some hobbies include snowboarding, camping (the right way), hanging out with my family, and being out in nature - in the woods and mountains."

​"I'm married to Eric. I handle HR, payroll, taxes, invoicing and paying bills. I'm really proud of Eric and the crew for their quality workmanship. Each project is like a puzzle, with no owners manual to guide them. They are highly skilled and creative, building cars with safety, quality, and beauty in mind. Quilting, reading, and traveling are a few of my favorite things."
