Bux Customs: Inside the Mind of Master Craftsman Chris McClintock

October 27, 2021

It is not uncommon for someone to have diverse interests. But what does a pizza shop have in common with a custom upholstery shop? This week, Mal interviews Chris McClintock about his journey from working in his family’s pizza shop to establishing Bux Customs in a small town in Pennsylvania. Today, Bux Customs is known for custom high-end automotive interiors.
Chris’s story is inspiring because he succeeded in an industry that is very different from what he knew. His stunning designs and detail-oriented craftsmanship have won him awards, making him one of the most sought-after hotrod trimmers in the United States. Let's hear about how Chris learned the craft, his design inspirations, and his goals for the future. And of course, the episode will not be complete without Mal putting his guest on to the Rapid Fire Hot Seat.
“No matter what project I’m doing, I’m diving full into it.”
