We all know that fathers play a unique role in their son’s aspirations. This week, Mal interviews Bill Carlton, a major player in the custom fabrication industry. He grew up on a property that his father bought in 1976. Growing up, Bill got accustomed to seeing his dad working on trucks and cars and transforming them into beautiful and powerful vehicles. Soon, he started working in the family business while transforming vehicles for fun. 
In 1998, Bill finally decided to turn his passion into a business and established https://www.ekstensive.com/ (Ekstensive Metal Works), one of the most respected custom fabrication and automotive design shops in Houston, Texas. The shop delivers the most reliable and highest quality vehicles to customers. Bill's business rose to fame in 2017 with the show https://watch.motortrend.com/tv-shows/texas-metal (Texas Metal). The show features Bill and his team while designing and building creatively outrageous cars and trucks. Let's meet the man behind Texas Metal in another fun episode of NC Shop Talk. 
“It’s not easy any day in any business that I know of. 
99% of the time, I figure it out the hard way.”
- Bill Carlton
