Kyle Yokum is one of the most humble people I have ever meet. This kid is a master at metal shaping. Here is his story:
"My name is Kyle Yocum I am 24 and just doing the best I can to honor my God in heaven and provide for my wife and little girl by shape metal into custom cars and motorcycles. I have been working on cars since I was a teenager. I started out doing the metal and body work on my own cars and went to the Trumbull Career and Technical Center in Warren Ohio for my senior year in high school, where Randy Hess taught me the right way to do body work, but I always hated sanding and mud work, and I loved the metal work so I began researching old fabrication techniques and taught myself everything from how to Tig weld to how to how to build a complete car or bike from scratch, and I now run my own hot rod shop in Suffolk, VA. I have been called the best shaper around. My father always told me "If your going to do something do it the best you can." and that is how I treat every project. My favorite project to date is a '51 Studebaker pickup full custom. There is more custom fab work on that truck than I can even list including a complete custom bed, and front end."
Stay on the lookout for more of Kyle's work as he will be making waves in the metal shaping world.
