More For Day Four! Hot Rod Builders Panel
You want to be a car builder, but there are so many questions. How do I develop my style? How do I learn from others without being a copycat? Who controls the vision—me or the customer?

Restomod and Hot-Rod Interior Fabrication—Incorporating Modern Electronics—Powered by ARMO and HRIA
All new for 2020, learn modern-style, upscale hot-rod and restomod interior fabrication techniques from the leaders in the category. Half the battle is designing something you can build and upholster, along with the serviceability of what's behind those panels. With modern electronics playing a larger role in restomod and hot-rod builds, the older styles of padding everything with foam and using screws to attach panels are obsolete. Attendees will hear about new and exciting interior fabrication techniques and tips to enhance any fabricator's palate of skills. This diversity can bring in clientele and make your shop the go-to place for interiors that have style and still accommodate electronics and the serviceability aspect.
When: 12:00 p.m.–12:30 p.m. (PST)
Speaker: Bryan Schmitt, Mobile Solutions USA
Speaker: Juan Torres, Automotive Entertainment HB
