About Detmer Metals
Damon Detmer started fabricating in 1992 at Vintage Air, then built high-end hot rods and eventually transitioned into NASCAR, where he worked for nearly two decades. There, he fine-tuned his skills in aero development and precision shaping under extreme deadlines.
In 2013, Damon began focusing on coachbuilding, bringing race car discipline to the art of custom fabrication. His deep knowledge, hands-on approach, and love of motorsports set Detmer Metals apart.
