Bill Dornwell
Bill is from Beaufort, South Carolina, and his love of cars came from his father. Bill grew up working on cars and continues to work on them to this day.
Bill has learned over time that building customs is an art form that lets you express yourself and is fun and very gratifying. He says that “the smile and reactions of customers is by far the best part of this trade. Working in this trade, Bill says he is a ‘dream maker’, making customer’s dreams a reality. He grew up with Southern values and manners, and as an ex-veteran of USAF it helped him to succeed in life and in his 40-year career.
One of Bill’s accomplishments was building his own drag car in which he competed in local and national events. He participated in several championships and had many wins. Bill was known as a ‘heavy hitter’ on the race circuit and was proud of his accomplishments being 1st in show and was featured in magazine articles.
Bill has been with Muscle Cars of Texas going on 4 years, supervising the Body and Paint Shop, and also filled in as a Mechanic. He recently stepped up as our Shop Manager and works hard to strive for ‘Excellence & Perfection’ on every customer job, surpassing every detail. Much like a family, Bill says that working at Muscle Cars of Texas is like family, our children, and “treating customer’s cars as if they were our own, caring and loving each and every one.”
