14 years after BCC began in our home garage we're still going strong, every year with bigger and better builds that really show the depth of the talent at BCC.  Yes, we have all the tools and equipment you'd expect to find at a full restoration facility or even a production bodyshop, but ultimately more important than that is OUR TEAM

         Sean joined the team at Boyd's Customs in August 2017. originally from Freedom, NH, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force right out of high school and made the service his first career. While stationed in Virginia, Sean met the love of his life, his wife Kate. In 2010, after proudly serving for 20 years, Sean retired and moved his family back to NH and now lives in Alton Bay, NH.

         After several years working as a civilian in Production Management, Sean changed career paths and put his passion for working on old cars to use at Boyd's. He has always enjoyed working on anything mechanical, but especially old cars. This he pays in tribute to his father for teaching him the mechanical trades at a very young age. Sean enjoys working on the mechanical and electrical systems on a variety of different vehicles we see in the shop everyday.

        Sean and his wife have two children, Caitlin and Evan. When Sean isn't at work he enjoys spending time at home with his family, going to High School sporting events, hunting, and working on cars in his garage. Sean's current projects are his 1968 Dodge Dart GTS and his sons Subaru Impreza WRX. Most challenging project to date- 1971 Dodge Demon/Hellcat engine conversion.

        Ray joined the Boyd team in 2017 after working 18 years in the field. He specializes in electrical diagnosis&repair, and currently holds ASE certifications in steering suspension, brakes and engine repair. He has a 19 year old daughter, currently attending the University of Tennessee at Martin. When not working he can be found hiking year round throughout New England, camping, working in his garden, and hanging out with his wife and two dogs. Rays favorite project to date is a 1953 Bel Air. He works at Boyds because where else can you get paid to build and drive badass cars.

Ken began his automotive career as a lot attendant for a local car dealership in the early 90's. Later he spent 20 years with a company that specialized in BMW parts providing customers with tech support and later helping manage their online store. After several home restoration projects he made a career change to work professionally in auto restoration. A couple years later he joined the team at BCC and hasn't looked back. He has always been hands-on and purchased his first project car at 15. For Ken every car is a project car and has to be personalized or modified in some manner. His current personal restoration project is an 86 Mustang coupe. When he's not working on cars he enjoys spending time with his daughter, playing with his dog, hiking, kayaking, remodeling his 1930 home, and taking lots of long motorcycle rides in the white mountains. 

        I am just getting started in my professional career after graduating from Ohio Technical College where I completed my degree in Classic Car Restoration Technology. I have obtained an iCar Welding Steel GMA (MIG) Welding (WCS03) certification. Assembly, disassembly and body work are the areas I like to work in. My favorite car is a 1969 Dodge Charger RT/SE with a 440 4 speed. The color I'd like is a dark bronze metallic with a black RT stripe, black vinyl top and black interior. My daily drive is a 1987 Dodge W250 that I have done a small restoration on. When I am not working at Boyds I'm working on cars and trucks while hanging out with my friends. I joined Boyds because I was looking for a shop that specialized in full classic restoration where I would be able to further develop my skills and learn from experienced mentors. 

    I was raised in Laconia, and spent summers in Lovell Maine with family at our camp, where we now enjoy the outdoors with our three children.   I grew up watching my Grandfather work on motors of all kinds. When I grew up,  I spent 20 years as a CAD Draftsman, and worked for several vehicle repair shops.  I enjoy working on cars, and  learning about them, but my niche is restoration.  My favorite project to date is my 1972 Pontiac Le Mans Sport, (sadly, I had to let it go before it was completed).  I  am always building something, like cabinetry, my hand crafted kitchen is almost complete.   You can often find me  working on my 1982 Suzuki Enduro.

  My name is Isley, I grew up in Palmer Alaska, where I learned to work in the family business.  My parents had a food truck, and would visit all the different fairs and festivals.  ( I was a carney kid).  I then got a job at a body shop as the front desk person, later learning painting and bodywork.  Since I love to drive and have been since I can remember, it made sense to get a job working on cars.  I like seeing the small details get the vehicle to perfection.  It is also very rewarding to take old things and make them new.

My favorite project to date has to be the 1956 Thunderbird.

I n addition to working on cars, I have earned my Wilderness First Responder Certification.   I enjoy skiing, biking, painting, most anything outdoors.
