Melissa is a Nurse Practitioner turned Foxbody fanatic with a love for all things pink and a car that would make Barbie proud. Energetic, outgoing, and always up for an adventure, she has just as much fun wrenching on her dream car as she is shredding the mountain bike trails. You will frequently find her spending time with family, tracking down the perfect Old Fashioned, and making sure everything in her world has just the right pop of pink.

Jason began his career as an auto mechanic, where he discovered a true passion for car design. That passion led him to earn a degree in Industrial Design from the College for Creative Studies, eventually working for several major automotive companies. He later founded Makers Garage, where he designs and manufactures high-quality aftermarket parts for Foxbody enthusiasts. Outside of work, Jason is a proud father and a supportive partner to Melissa. They enjoy playing pickleball together and hitting the mountain bike trails—though he’ll be the first to admit he’s usually a few pedals behind her. Jason’s creativity, dedication, and love for his family are at the heart of everything he builds.
