Went to cottonwood over the weekend and had a blast. Took 1st with Kretzy and 2nd with my blue baby. Couldn't have done it without the help of my amazing family. Caught up with old friends and watched a lot of drunkin idiots walk the streets!

Hopefully by now everyone has already seen the bike I built for the discovery channel. Its come time to let her go, I need to get a real shop going so I have some space to stretch my nuts every once and a while, getting a little tired of the garage. The list is lengthy on the build so if you or anyone you know has questions please private message me and I will shot you more pics and the story about the bike. Chance to own a complete custom bike with the only 23'' perimeter rotors I know exist. Thanks for the support again guys, please share and repost, anything helps.

P.S. My blue baby is for sale too, she was used on the show as well, all my riding shots were with her. Airbagged custom chopper with a twisted downtube are just the basics on that sexy bitch!

Letting the ShanksGarage spokesmodels announce hats will be coming in the next week or so! Got flatbills for the homeboys and regular round bills for the normal folk!

Some more just becasue! One is the night before filming finished I think. The others are staged pics Discovery did before they left. Still amazes me I was chosen and given the oppurtunity to do the show! What a process to go through too! Shanks Garage though bi***es, thats how I roll!

Some pics of the build, I suprisingly didnt take very many, but these I know were around crunch time the week before its due date. Luckily Matt Vesay got a head start on the tanks for me and already had the wheels painted. Think we were adding the handle bars when these pics were taken. Still a long ways off at this point though guys. Thank the motorcycle gods for good dudes that worked behind the scenes to help finish her off, and an incredible painter that didnt sleep for days to get this thing back to me so i could assemble it in time. What a fu**in trip guys!

Alright, alright, alright, (in my best Mathew McConaughey voice) shirts are here!! Still gotta get the stuff to my sister to add it to the website, but if you want one sooner than that just shoot me a message with your address and size you need and I will try to get them in the mail this week. If you are local, you probably know me so get off your ass and come get them, I'm not a delivery bitch! I have sizes from large to 3x large, but so everyone knows, x-large fits like a large and the xxl fits like an x-large. Those are the only ones because they are a different brand that fit a little slimmer. I also have xxl-3xl that fit like what they are in a different brand for the bigger dudes. let me know guys, and remember I am still working all the time so if I don't respond right away just give me a bit please. Almost forgot the most important part, I hate this part but prices are inevitable. If I need to ship you a shirt, the price is $22.00, and I will work out a deal for shipping multiples if you want more than one. Otherwise they are $18 bucks each guys, I'm trying to be as fair as possible and that's the best I can do right now. Hope everyone is cool with that, if not, well stop being cheap! ha ha

Sorry there haven't been many updates guys, been crazy busy and haven't had much time to sit lately. Good news finally though, I will have shirts tomorrow thanks to the good guys over at Goodfellas Merchandise, Jana and William Freeman have been awesome and super helpful and I'm glad my manager/mom/super hero was able to get the whole thing handled, even though it cost me a boatload of money!! I will have my sister ad them to the website with paypal as a payment form just so its easy on everyone. Thanks for the support guys, I will get pics up of my Dodge this week and the new bike build I am doing for a So-Cal dude! Keep on truckin bi***es!!!

Holy hell people, almost 500 likes in roughly a week!!! Thats awesomeness guys! Cant believe the support everyone has shown for just a dude in a garage. Lets get this page a bunch more likes guys, tell all your friends and family about Shanks Garage, when I get to 750 I will give away some shirts to 5 lucky people and one winner will get a free oil change and inspection and a shirt and decal...if you are local at least. Otherwise I will send you a gift card to the service place of your choice so you can get your oil changed close to home and you will still get the shirt and decal. Thanks again everyone, hope everybody has a kickass day! Go create something badass no matter what you do for work!

General auto and motorcycle repair, also building complete custom chopper and bobbers out of whatever you want, also experience in heavy equipment repair

05/29/2014

Was honored to be part of this event. Dino and Problem Child Studios put together a kick ass event to install both front and rear Porterbilt kits to hammer this old Chevy, all in one day! Did a bunch of the front end kit then helped out on the rear a little. Amazing group of guys came from all over the place to help out and man do these guys have a awesome product.

05/29/2014

I can do general repair stuff all day, but lift kits are where its at man. Did a 6'' kit on this Yukon and since it was already a little lifted it came out to almost an 8'' lift. Looks badass!

Shop cat helping out on the oil change on the burb

05/29/2014

Simple tune-up and lifter noise turned into a full on engine swap on this work van. Did I mention engine swaps in vans suck!

05/29/2014

Finally some bike stuff! Attention to detail was my focus on this beauty. This bike had been laid down and I did some fixing to it before. This trip I moved the forward controls up and back since the owner is a little squaty guy. Also made a guard/rest for the left side to cover the belt drive since the owner also had an ankle issue. Took the dual carb setup off and went to a mikuni with a new air cleaner and had a decal made to match what the engine actually is. Also fixed the headlight since the previous builder had a cheese-dick mount that rubbed all the paint off the neck. Had Koncept Designs repaint this old girl and she was a shiny little jewel when I delivered her.

05/29/2014

This one stayed a while, timing belt, water pump, tune up and emmisions system fix if i remember right.

05/29/2014

Rack replacement, quick in and out evening jobber!

05/29/2014

Another fun after work project. Oil pan leak means the motor has to come out. Removed, re-sealed and re-installed in one evening, after being at the regular job all day.

05/29/2014

This was a fun project....NOT!!! removed trans, had rebuilt and re-installed. Did a tuneup on it at the same time since this old girl had been neglected by the previous owner. Supercharged regal...we call her Church Car since she's a little sleeper.

05/29/2014

This was a job froma few months back. Just replaced the stock front-end springs and rebuilt the forks with new seals and oil. Didn't ride bad before to me, but the customer was in love with it after! Happy happy happy is how I try to keep everyone around here.

05/29/2014

Some of you may have seen this already, a little compare and contrast of a crankshaft taken out of my personal bike. Remember this engine was built by a now defunct shop in Phoenix, rode maybe 50 miles and quit running. When i opened the engine up this is what I found. Needless to say a dragbike race crank went back in and the complete engine rebuild was done by yours truly!
