and three paint booths, the business turns
out 50–60 jobs per month.
"This type of work is definitely in our
bloodline," explains Anthony. "When my
grandfather immigrated to New York, he
opened a blacksmith shop. Even back
then it was all about pounding metal and
fabrication."
Today, the family enterprise muscles
out collision and repair work for "pretty
much anything with a commercial license
plate." But the company, which also
includes Car Craft Truck Works, has gained
national recognition for its award-winning
achievements in the Super Custom Class 8
category.
"We've built a solid reputation for your
standard collision work, but we're
also very well-known for the heavy
customization of these real 'extreme'
jobs," says Anthony. "By this I mean
very elaborate semi trucks modified
with enhanced interiors, paint jobs and
fabricated stainless steel exterior effects."
There are virtually no limits to what the
Pesce brothers can create in the Super
Custom arena. In fact, if a customer can
dream it, there's a very good chance ETC
can make it happen. "If a guy wants the
stripe on his hood to run straight through
the interior of his cab, we'll do it," says
Anthony. "Or it might be something much
more elaborate. Our favorite projects are
the ones that allow us to customize the
entire vehicle, inside and out, in a unified
theme. We can do some pretty cool things."
A Super Custom by its very nature is meant
to catch eyes and turn heads at every
