Honoring Steve Frisbie: A Legend in Metal and Vision

Steve Frisbie, founder of Steve’s Auto Restorations in Portland, Oregon, passed away on Saturday, October 18, 2025, surrounded by loved ones in his home. His departure leaves a profound void in the restoration and hot-rod community, yet the imprint of his workmanship and spirit remains indelible.
