Custom chopper builder Billy Lane shares his passion for Corvettes with his father. The interesting fact here is Billy likes to restore the cars to factory specifications rather than transform them into elaborate show pieces like the bikes he builds for his clients at Chopper Inc.

One of Billy’s rivals is also featured in the book. Like Billy, Joe Martin made his name creating two-wheeled sculptures for well-heeled customers and made his name a little more prominent through participation on Discovery Channel’s Biker Build-Off series. Unlike Mr.Lane however, Joe likes the Pro Touring look, so his toys all sport flashy custom paint jobs and massive rims.

Other celebrities include:

  • Tina Basich – Pro snowboarder
  • Erick Dampier – NBA – Dallas Mavericks
  • Thomas DuPont – Publisher of the DuPont Registry
  • Jeff “Left Hook” Lacey – Boxer
  • T.J. Lavin – MTV host and pro BMX rider.
  • Lonie Paxton- NFL – New England Patriots
  • Heath Pinter – Hotrod builder and pro BMX rider.
  • Chris Wilcox – NBA – Seattle Seahawks
  • Trevor Vines – Trevor Vines – Freestyle motocross

    If cars are your passion and you like shows like MTV’s Cribs, then Muscle Car Dream Garages is worth adding to your automotive library.
