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.

Ken Jordan

Ken runs the body and paint shop. His experience in the collision industry has proven to be extremely valuable in building classic cars. He’s a solid Muscle Car guy at heart but has found it in him to work on any type of classic cars there is.

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.

Chad Weston

Chad does the majority of all patch panels and body work here. The reason for this is he is fast, efficient and excellent at his job. Chat is a stay focused, get it done, and get it done right type of guy. He brings a great dimension to the team. When it comes to classic cars Chad seems to love them all rather than be more focused on one model.

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.

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.
