After pursuing a music career in the 1980s, Kevin returned to automotive work and has since owned a restoration shop, received certification as a collision repair technician, managed collision repair shops and offered automotive instruction and seminars. He presently owns a paint and body restoration business and is a prominent automotive painter. In 1999, Kevin started a website that offers video instruction and advice for paint and bodywork projects and general restoration work. He also writes for several publications, including Mustang & Fords Magazine and participates in numerous automotive shows offering how-to clinics and seminars to hobbyists and professionals alike. Kevin has also produced and hosted do-it-yourself instructional videos for the automotive restorer and enthusiast. He is working on a DVD entitled Extreme Detailing, which covers things like paint-chip, glass, carpet and vinyl/leather seat repair; headliner installation; basic car-wash technique; and dealing with acid-rain damage.
