After her surgery was completed, Mike decided to start on a project the whole family could get involved with, so they decided to build this 1983 Chevy El Camino. The build began by painting the El Camino Karina’s favorite colors, pink and purple, a task gracefully done by Orlando Ceballos from Perfect Colors.
Once the car was back, Karina got hooked and became more involved and inadvertently kept her mind busy, and from there, the project became a family affair thus the plaque: Contreras Family
One night as the car was sitting in the garage waiting for additional work, Mike started reminiscing about how the car came to be and why it all began. He reflected on the pain, the sleepless nights, and all the trials it put on the entire family, and that’s when he decided to take the build a step further and dedicate the build to Brain Tumor Awareness.
