Brad Masterson is definetly one of the new "Young Guns" slingin' lead with the best of 'em !
He's learned from the "masters": George Barris & Bill Hines. BUT, the question remains, how did he hook-up with these two Legends ? And, did you know that he actually worked for a Private Detective for a short time...and did some snooping and legwork in that field ?
Well, Brad & I sat down one night at the 28th Annual KKOA Lead Sled Spectacular and went over his career, how he got interested in Custom Cars & George Barris, and the whole process that transported him from being a "wannabe" to a bona fide, top-of-the-line customizer working with both Barris AND Hines...at a very early age .
There's a very bright future ahead for this rising star in the Rod & Custom field ! JK
