Pretty cool to have my dad stop by and give me a hand on the vette today. He was the one who introduced me to racing, mechanical work, fabrication, and building just about everything. I was probably 12 years old, when I asked my dad to build me a rail for skateboarding. He said no, and I replied “why not?” He told me, “You want one, you build it.” And there I was, at 12 years old chopping steel box and attempting to weld it up. I made the pieces stick together, it wasn’t pretty, and I also welded a dick on it. But it served it’s purpose and was a nice glimpse into fabrication. Little did I know, those skills learned that day would transpire into what I am doing today. Building the best damn drift car I possible can. Great to spend the day with you Dad. Thank you for everything. ️

Awesome man! You should try and reach out to more young kids and show them how skills you hone with your hands can help them succeed in life.

Can’t wait to see your car running🤘🏽
Weld dicks on all your work man! Leave your sig behind

@chelseadenofa guilty haha.
I welded a dick the first time I tried welding too! #twins @mattfield777
I wish I had a cool dad like that. My dad was a salesman and as a result of that here I am teaching myself everything cool into my late 20’s.

Always dick
@chelseadenofa #dickwelds
Good shit man. I can’t relate directly but I hear you loud and clear. I’m gonna start working in the same line of work @ the same place w/ my dad this week. These moments are life ️
Those are some of the best moments that Motorsports provides.
@mattfield777 put some of the slip on carbon covers on those door bars from jerry bickle race cars to keep em pretty, plus it looks killer. I think 80 bucks worth on the stuff would be enough
That was the best skating rail ever! Good times bro, who knew that it would take you this far! Cheers Bruce!
Haha my trailer has a dick welded on it. Guess that’s what all the cool kids do
Sprecken z dick
You should make a video explaining how you got into fabrication and drifting going from your story at 12 years old to now! That would be super rad!
Hahaha hahaha. I used to do plastic welding (yes, plastic) with my brother and every single job I did for him had at least one patch shaped like a dick and balls. 😎
Can’t wait to see how the corvette ends up being as a drift car. Bow Ties or Die.
Thanks Matt and it is always a pleasure to work with you. We can get sh_t done. Thanks everyone we have touched along the way. FD2018 here we come. Also a few Dez races along the way.
So proud as a Dad.
@mistersundae hahahaha yea you remember!
@mattfield777 lol of course, we skated that thing a lot!
That’s a pretty blue! 🏻
