Hey, let’s start building cars for a living

Picture the classic dinner party or BBQ where you are meeting new people. For us guys the conversation usually comes around to, “What do you do for a living?” When I explain that I own a hot rod shop they look at me like I’ve completely hacked the system of trudging through life hating your job and looking forward to the next weekend as soon as Monday hits. The automatic reply is “You must be living your dream. How did you do it?”
It’s really simple, actually. There are a few key components to the success CHC (Chris Holstrom Concepts) has enjoyed over the years. It is a lot like exercise and diet; I can tell you all about it, but the main component is the drive and willingness not to give up on your passion.
