CARL FRANCISCO STARTED BUMPER TO BUMPER BODY & PAINT IN 1984. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS WORKING AS AN ON-LINE BODYMAN, HE WAS PROMOTED TO BODY SHOP FOREMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE HE WAS EMPLOYED. THE EXPERIENCE HE GAINED FROM RUNNING THEIR SHOP HAS BEEN THE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF HIS OWN.
CARL, LIKE MOST IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD, IS A TRUE CAR NUT! FROM THE TIME HE WAS ABLE TO GRAB A WRENCH OR HAMMER, HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON CARS. THE LIST OF HIS PROJECTS IS LONG; IN FACT, HE REALLY DOESN'T REMEMBER ALL OF THE CARS HE HAS OWNED! HIS CURRENT STABLE CONSISTS OF MANY, INCLUDING THE '33 FORD SEDAN THAT HE HAS OWNED FOR 30 YEARS.
THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND THE WORKMANSHIP OF HIS OWN RIDES HAS MADE CARL'S BUMPER TO BUMPER BODY & PAINT A SHOP THAT IS HIGHLY RESPECTED IN BOTH CUSTOM AND RESTORATION CIRCLES. THE SHOP ALWAYS HAS MANY PROJECTS IN PROGRESS, AND A CONSTANT LINE-UP OF FUTURE JOBS. THE BODY TECHS AND PAINTERS HAVE A COMBINED 100-PLUS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD AND THEY ALL ARE INTO "COOL RIDES" AS WELL.
