Crafty B Hot Rod Parts

One of the things I've really been trying to do here lately, is focus on good people who make cool parts for all of us. I stumbled on this guy just a couple days ago and was FLOORED by what I saw! Flip caps, friction shocks, mini E&J style lights, shifters, and all kinds of neat pieces...

So Who is Crafty B Hot Rod Parts? Crafty was started by a guy named Kirk Brown, a family man with a wife, two kids, dogs, cats and... well... okay, here's what he has to say:

"I was a tool and die maker for 15 years, I now work out of my own shop doing all types of Tool & Die, metal fabricating and custom steel railings. 4 years ago I had run in with throat cancer even though I've never smoked in my life. I had to do all the treatments to take care of that and now...well im still here! I sold my manufacturing business I was involved with and simplified my life by working out of my own shop. I have a bunch of old projects, some are done and some are not but my thinking is you can never have enough old cars and bikes around. I like all type of cars and trucks. I can find something on about every car or truck that I can learn from. I have kind of left the "restored to orginal" phase of my life and have been trying to build from scratch on the last 2 or 3 projects and to me this is way more interesting then ordering replacement parts from a book."

Kirk tells me he has a website brewing. When it's up and running I will update everyone and add it to my favorites list.
