Metal Works Classics

Our Staff

We all love Classic cars, Hot Rods and Muscle Cars! You have to be extremely motivated to see a Classic restoration through from start to finish! We get this motivation from our love of cars. Though it may seem like a dream job, that�s not always the case. Try blocking a Sedan delivery 3-4 times prior to painting. That will wipe you out! Or, how about the frustrations of new parts not fitting after waiting two or three weeks for them to arrive. As much hard work and frustration can be involved the final results of the finished product far exceed pains. We are all highly motivated by building only the finest Muscle Cars and Hot Rods around.

Jon Mannila

Jon is the owner and founder of MetalWorks. Old cars have always been big part of his life. He started out like most with more ambition than knowledge. However, the desire to learn and understand all the aspects of car building from wrenching to fine body and paint work have lead him here. Now, he enjoys great pride in helping others see their dreams of building and owning a beautiful classic car.

Tony Lewis

Tony heads up the restoration and fabrication shop. He is very talented in all aspects of restoration. His understanding of mechanical and electrical systems is amazing. In his time away from the business he enjoys smoking the tires off his own personal Hot Rod.

Bo Keepers

Bo assists in the day to day operations of MetalWorks Classic Auto Restoration. He also owns the MetalWorks Paint & Rust Removal business. He and his marketing team built and manage the websites for both businesses. When he's not working spending he enjoys spending time with family and friends, riding quads on the dunes, boating on the local lakes and traveling.

Gary Hogensen

Gary can do it all. From body and paint work to fabrication to mechanical repairs. He is truly a multi talented person. Gary also has a long career in the body and paint industry. His extensive knowledge of the body and paint industry is a huge asset for us here at MetalWorks. Gary always has his own side project going on some sort of Classic cars, Hot Rods or Muscle Cars.

Tom Lawson

Tom is our main Fabrication person. With over 18 years of welding and fabrication experience he definitely has the talent to match the expectation of our shop. He has a wife and two boys. His passion in the off time is circle track racing late model dirt cars.

Tim Bridges

Tim is the painter here. He has an amazing ability to lay down the slickest paint jobs you�ve ever seen. He has an eye for super fine detail and it shows. If you want people looking at one of your Classic cars and asking you where you got that beautiful car painted then Tim�s the one you want laying your paint down.

Ben Hurlbert

Ben splits his time between the Paint & Rust Removal business and the Restoration side of our business. Ben has years of experience in mechanical work. With his experience from Honda of Eugene and as owner of Driveline Service he brings a very detailed mechanical approach to his work. Ben has a quiet demeanor in person. However, get him on his dirt bike and you see a whole different side. He's an amazing rider and enjoys both dirt and sand riding.

Nelsa Mannila

Nelsa runs our office and takes care of all the books and paperwork for MetalWorks. Her passion for Classic Cars continues to grow as it has since first meeting her husband, MetalWorks Owner, Jon.
