Every CAL project entails a commitment to deliver the client’s vision of their car. Painstaking hours are spent to customize each part to ensure that the finished product is perfect.

CAL boasts many specialties including custom sheet metal shaping and fabrication. Their body construction transforms cars into works of art.

A flathead motor enthusiast, Erik Hanson is a fabricator and welder with CAL Automotive Creations. As a hobby, he worked on cars with his dad at his shop in Valley, Nebraska and always wanted to build cars.

Each part of “Checkered Past” is an artform of its own and the challenge was pulling all of those parts together, trying to make a car that works from front to back.
