Johnny’s Auto Trim and Rod Shop is an underdog story.  In the late 80’s, Johnny laid brick for a living and soon decided working in the cold Colorado winters was not something he wanted to do all his life. He decided to sit down and make a list of things he was passionate about and things that were lacking in his hometown of Alamosa Colorado.  After narrowing the list down, he decided he would try his hand at upholstery in street rods.  Johnny then went to the library and checked out books to start learning the craft.  That winter his wife bought him a sewing machine and Johnny begin covering and “uncovering” truck and tractor seats in his living room.
