Hi, I’m Bobby Ledford. I’m from okc, Oklahoma home of the 405 . I’m a custom car builder , harley builder. Fabricator and long time welder for many business in okc. I have ran and worked for many horrid or auto shops here. I now live in phoenix,az. I was in a video on facebook, where I showed colin how to “Chop a model a in two minutes”. I’m wearing a black daddy dave Comstock t shirt. I help a lot of hotrodders in phoenix and most of okc knows me from working on their cars. I know a few of the gas monkey guys indirectly and would make a great working addition to any crew. I’m actually trying to get a crew together myself. I can build engines, gm transmissions and rear-ends. I do a lot of air conditioning too, haha. I grew up in a sprint car family. Street racers too. Crazy fun type of guy with awesome stories and can get some work done when it’s a tight schedule. No drama here just GITRDONE!
Hi Bobby,
I work on the show, email us the video you mentioned in this message or apply on our website.
Thanks!

Still looking for that one shop that’s different? I recently had a millionaire invest in me so I can show the world my talents. Providing me with a 3600ft shop at no charge as long as we build his toys. I have been in 10 magazine’s on building motorcycles now I can show that I can restore or modify truck and cars also. I do it all mechanic, fabrication to painting. I still consider myself a rookie. Rookie garage? Not afraid of showing my mistakes. That’s how I learn. I’m in the middle of restoring a1965 Chevy truck and will be lowering it 6″ Randy a friend that I’m teaching is a beginner
Hey nice to see world wide other builders making a living do the hard work we do there are few like us that build anything from start to finish a 1 man crew that stays working day and night more so as a passion but reality is we need to make a living pay our bills and take care of our loved ones doing it buy building our customers dream they dream it we build it most all my customers have worked very hard in there lives and I feel good making them happy Working hard to build there dream ride I started building street race cars at 14 buy 18 I already lost my drivers multiple times and got into race bikes Cbr 900 rr race ready as I was tired of cops harassing me then I joined a motorcycle club I was around a couple bike builders long story short 18-28 I built frame up a good 200 bikes race bikes stunt bikes as I got into stunting the street bikes I entered the first SoCal stunt competition at Irwindale speed way on 1 of my 900 rr even had a girlfriend on back down the strip at 100 mph hitting the front break to do a Endo riding on the front tire passing buy 2 rows of bleachers mind you my break pads were tost lol then on to f4is next stunt show I fabricated a wheelie bar no crash cage as I was always confident or didn’t care if I had to repair if a crash lol multiple wheelie bars I grinded threw as I would ride a wheelie then lay it on the wheelie bar and gas it laying sparks like a low rider yes on the freeway yes I would hit the freeway reflectors and rip them off the road and yes I have videos team Lojic series 1 I am the nut with no helmet dragging bar riding 3 people on wheelies over the bars even jumping to top of windscreen when bike was on a wheelie sitting on the drag bar I built best times long story short last 10 years I’ve been doing classic frame off
