One Man's Journey: From Ho-Hum Day Job to Professional Hot Rod Builder

 
My first build - a '68 Camaro dream car!

Note from Robert Kibbe:

For those of you who are regular readers, this article was written by Chris Holstrom of Chris Holstrom Concepts, now a regular monthly contributor. He recently made the leap from his regular day job to ownership of his own hot rod building business!

This week's post is an introduction from Chris. Look for more great stuff here from him in the future!

Rob asked me a simple question for my first article for The Muscle Car Place..."Who is Chris Holstrom?" Wow, thanks Rob, but how do you answer that one? There are several Chris Holstrom's I suppose, and I'm not referring to any weird schizophrenic voices inside my head, but instead to the fact that like many of you I wear many hats. There's the Chris who has been happily married to his best friend Alyssa for over 10 years, father of an amazing 2 year old boy, worshiper of Jesus and fortunately a friend to many great people. There is the Chris who grew up in the car scene in the rainy Pacific Northwest. There is also the Chris who has owned over a hundred cool cars, but can count only a hand-full of the ones that ever turned a profit. He has a heart for orphaned cars and can burn up hours on a road-trip dreaming about what he could do with that old car he spotted sitting in a field at the last rest-stop.
