Holden SheetMetal started in 2007. John previously owned Holden Auto Body in Placerville from 1997 to 2001. He has over 20 of experience in collision, classic car restoration and custom paint. John grew up in the San Jose area but has settled on the Placerville/Foothill Area where his current shop is located. The car collectors he has worked with entrust their prized possessions to him to work magic.  1311191513661He moved his operations to his home shop to focus on a 1 year full restoration project of the yellow 1949 Chevy P/u. This was a full time commitment and consumed all his attention with the constant guidance of the owner. This was a one-on-one project. Since the completion of the ’49 in February 2009 this truck has gone on to win several awards at local car shows.  This is not a production shop, this is a shop that specializes in the body and paint portion of the restoration. The customer will get the dream car they want whether it be a unique color, ghost flames (one of Johns artistic specialty’s) or a bright metallic custom color. The customer comes first with patience and input along the way.
