Default New here from Napa, California

My name's Robbie Azevedo and I own and operate Pacific Coast Customs in American Canyon. I've been building hot rods and customs since age 19 (professionally, I've been building things since about 12 or 13). I'm always looking for new ways and techniques at building things. We have some standard equipment we use everyday, stomp shear, box and pan brake, shrinker/stretcher, english wheel, etc. My pride and joy is probably my Pullmax P8. I'm always looking for techniques at making and using dies. I like the method of stamping much better then then my old bead roller.

Anyways, if you want to see some pictures of what I do or build, you can check us out on the web, www.pacificcoastcustoms.com (not sure if I'm able to post a link, if not go ahead and remove it, I'm sorry).

Hello Robbie, some interesting things going on in your shop, I bet its fun working with those girls every day! lol. The Pullmax is a great machine, I have two but quite often I can get things done quicker by hand. I have one set up for cutting most of the time and the other I use for everything else, but mostly for the batch work I do, sometimes one offs and small jobs take too much time to set up for.

David
