I will not be taking on any more work.
As I get older, the trade that I love so much , has certainly put a strain on my body. It has made me realize that I can not do this alone, like I have been. So, what does this mean, for me. I will be closing my shop in Bowden, because I bought a very busy fully staffed shop out in Kelowna. I will be taking over Pacific Muscle Cars. If the name rings a bell, yes it's the same shop that was on Rust Bros TV series.
Anyway, I have made a lot of friends along the way and I thank you all for your business. I have made arrangements with all my current customers, and I wouldn't have been the shop I am today without all of you.
I'm not retiring, so if you need a muscle car or custom work done, you can still book it with me. I will still be very hands on with the builds cause it's what I love to do.
Thank you all, Rick Leaver

I started my business when I was 14. One of my first clients was Tyler Marshall. I painted a RC truck body for him. Blue with pink splashes behind the wheels. Over 40 yrs later he still brings me fun projects. The size of the jobs are a bit bigger and certainly don't cost 20 bucks anymore! Thanks for letting me 2 tone your car. I appreciate all your business, and your friendship over the years.
