He specializes in paint and body, antique vehicle restoration, metal fabrication, driver development, and anything racecars! Over the years he has had the pleasure to not only run his own team, travel the country helping elevate young drivers to higher divisions, but also ow

Finished up the body for the kart going above the new sign out at Ambassador Racing School!

Aside from our racecar shenanigans, we do love being able to support and race out here and whatever we can do to help promote the track and get people involved in the sport we will.

Great little place right here in our backyard in Hillsborough County, Florida. At that, it’s the last standing racetrack here.

Support these places big or small before they’re gone.

Time to get it fixed up for our buddy, Mike Budka!

Dropped off as a roller with a motor and made a customer’s dream come true. Gone through with a fine toothed comb and body built to perfection.

Wishing our customer a great rest of the season in Georgia and we appreciate them trusting us to make it happen!

Supporting each other is essential in any group, including competitive environments. While my daughter racing against others might seem like a conflict, it doesn’t diminish our willingness to help. Building a supportive community involves mutual respect, which can foster friendships and strengthen the group as a whole.

Happy to help Mike!

Another happy friend ready for racing.

We don’t have a big place, but a big shop never did anything for a racecar anyways and the old school way still can get the job done! After thinking I wanted to take a break from building bodies, I was summoned to take on this one. Racecar work makes me happiest, and it is something I have had a passion for my entire life. Here’s to the first one back since my daughter’s rides!

We’ve been busy racing with our daughter and started a few projects for our race friends. But if you’re wondering if Michael still does his thing, he’s available and ready to maintenance or build you a new body for those hot rods!

The last year he has transitioned to enjoying doing this again, motorsports has been his passion since his first moments on this earth and folks he’s been here for quite some time! It’s all he knows. If you’re looking for rushed work with mediocre quality, we aren’t the place for you. If you want top notch quality and a little extra time spent to know it’s done properly, at and AFFORDABLE price. We as a family of racers know things are not cheap, but we will do whatever we can to give those lower budgeted teams a safe haven to have service with.

If you’re chill, and these qualities sound like your team? Give Mike a call. 813-369-1349.
He does not text, if you message the page one of the family will respond and show him. Calling is the best!
