One year of MetallicArt being full time........
It's a strange game. None of the big builds in the shop have left yet, so it can feel like you're standing still. Then you stop, look around, and realise you're trusted to work on some incredible cars alongside some bloody talented people. That's something I'll never take for granted.
The truth is, MetallicArt was never meant to be a full time business. It just happened, helped along by a few well placed kicks up the arse from some important people in our lives.
A massive thanks to Miles Donald and Rick Foster (in the 2nd Pic), working alongside you guys is a huge privilege, and I love what you guys are doing for us in the industry.
Big thanks as well to Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse and Machineryhouse New Zealand for providing amazing equipment so accessible to all of us in the trade.
To every client who's trusted us with their pride and joy, and everyone who's supported us along the way, thank you. You made this possible.
Working alone can mean some interesting battles, thinking of ideas and overcoming issues can be tough, which I'd like to thank Von Ryan and a shout out to the Metal Bastards & Business noobs 👊
Year one is done. Plenty more to come.
