This company is built on the partnership of two lifelong friends whose skills and passions have been intertwined since childhood.
Philip Abed and Mario Sanchez have known each other since middle school. Two kids who spent every spare hour in garages pulling apart engines, building cars, and tuning motorcycles. What began as a shared obsession grew into two highly specialized careers shaped by craftsmanship, discipline, and a relentless pursuit of perfection.
Philip went on to become a master aerospace welder, building on more than 15 years of experience in a field where precision keeps aircraft in the sky. Those same standards now guide the mechanical side of their Porsche transformations. Beyond integrating modern GM LS3 powertrains, Philip also engineers twin-turbo systems capable of delivering 1000+ horsepower while preserving exceptional drivability and long-term reliability. His focus is simple: massive performance without compromising the integrity of the vehicle.
Mario Sanchez took his own path into the world of high-performance aesthetics as the owner of Rusted Rocket Garage. For over a decade, he has designed and painted Cigarette boats, planes, and helicopters. On machines where finish, durability, and visual presence matter at extreme speeds. On their Porsche builds, Mario shapes the car’s identity: molding wide body kits, fabricating and integrating aftermarket components, refining bodywork, and delivering show-quality paint that transforms each vehicle into a rolling work of art.
Now, after years refining their crafts on separate paths, Philip and Mario have reunited their talents.
Together, they create Porsche conversions that blend aerospace-grade engineering with elite custom aesthetics. Every build reflects the evolution of two craftsmen who grew up building machines together and never stopped elevating their skills.
This isn’t just modification, It’s evolution of the Porsche experience.
