While A & M Deluxe Customs was established in 2003,
the company's owners,
Aaron Atnip and Mark Spurlock, as well as their team of
talented craftsmen
offer an exceptional range of training, skill and
expertise, as well as a
passion for this work that is rare to find assembled in
one shop.
As Oregonians, Mark and Aaron grew up with a love for
automobiles and
anything else on wheels. Inheriting his father's love of
cars, which Mark
calls "A life sentence without the possibility of
parole", Mark grew up
working with his dad "souping up" his classic cars and
trucks, while
studying all he could about working with metals, wood,
plastics and all
things automotive. At the age of 16, he had his first
taste of vintage V-8
iron, with many more to follow. Similarly, Aaron's roots
were in high
performance and muscle cars, especially Corvettes. Like
a lot of gearheads,
cruising and drag racing always topped the list of
things to do when Aaron
was not working to perfect his skills as a welder and
custom fabricator.
Both Aaron and Mark have a career background in the
metal fabrication
industry; from structural steel, stainless and sheet
metal to building
aluminum fire engine bodies. Following years of
friendship, collaboration
and working together, they decided it was time to
venture out on their own
and, as a result, A & M Deluxe Customs was born.
Since its inception, A & M Deluxe Customs has expanded
exponentially,
including moving from a small garage to their current
7,000 square foot
facility (equipped with specialized metal shaping
equipment) and assembling
a team of highly skilled craftsmen with extensive
experience, formal and
practical training and an uncompromising level of
creativity, workmanship
and attention-to-detail.
Although still relatively new to the street rod
industry, the growth of A &
M Deluxe Customs has resulted not only from the delivery
of an innovative,
exceptional product, but also from carefully listening
to and working with
their clientele, operating with honesty and integrity
and maintaining a
strong commitment to the highest quality standards.
Staying true to their
vision, Aaron and Mark continue to strive to be among
the best in this
industry! |
