“Building race cars isn’t a crime!” ~ Todd Budde

I am originally from Denver, Colorado transplanted to Texas 21 years ago. Currently in my 4th life career. I started in the Marines, worked in the sign business for many years where I learned sheet metal working, paint and fabrication and was even a neon tube bender for many years. I worked in Oil and Gas for another 10-plus years. About 18 months ago I took my side gig of building and fabricating full-time. Now I operate F3 Motorsports in LaVernia, Texas.

I have been into cars probably all 51 years I have been alive. Baby photos of me sitting in my dad's asphaut super modified. There has ALWAYS been something off the wall kicking around in my workshops.

I have always wanted to build a rotary-powered car. I had been to SEMA with a few of my builds and got bit by the Battle of The Builders competition.
