What started it all:

In 1987 I purchased an S-10 with intentions of fixing it up with some wheel and tires. I picked up a magazine one day called Truckin' to look at some wheel/tire combinations. After a few minutes of  browsing through the magazine, I realized that out west (Cali.), people where really doing some crazy and radical things to these mini-trucks and the wheel/tire idea wasn't going to be enough to trick out my S-10.

A few months later I had that S-10 slammed with ground effects and stylin' some "Heartbeat Of America" graphics along with painted wheel dust covers.

There where only few "Low Riders / Sport Trucks" around Indy, but the craze was growing quick. Which inspired me to build another mini-truck. I had been bit by the custom truck bug.

I had as always had artistic talent, but never knew what to do with it. That all changed when I designed the graphics and painted this next mini-truck. It was a big hit at the Indpls. World Of Wheels. People was wanting me to paint their rides.

I painted a couple more trucks for friends and took them  to some national truck shows to see what the Mid-West thought of my painting?  We had a great response and won a few Best Paint Awards.

The following year (89') I opened a custom painting business called Showtime Customs, LLC.

Since then, things got very, very busy.  I have been  recognized by the leading magazine publishers for original designs and attention to detail.  My work has been featured on the covers Truckin', Mini-Truckin', Sport Truck, Hot Bike, Low Rider and VQ.  Needless to say, I found something to do with my artistic ability.

IBack in action:

A long 2 years later... Teresa has landed a good job at Car-Quest's D.C. here in Indianapolis and Ron is back to painting for other shops as RT Designs.  Some of the shops include Bewley's Bodyworks,  Hall's Bump-n-Grind and TT Custom Workz

So we're doing much better now and things are looking up. ( one-day-at-a-time )   We still enjoy custom painting and our attention to detail hasn't changed.
