A bit of background...

Motorheads Performance Shop was started from our love of hot-rods and our own classic cars which have been through several restorations and upgrades.  Guy is an avid classic car enthusiast and has owned and worked on project cars since he was 16 years old.

Because we've restored our own classics, we understand your needs.  We try to provide the types of services we wished we had when we were putting our hot-rods together. And, we understand the need to keep costs affordable.  

We want to bring hot-rodding and the restoration of the classics from the 50's, 60's and 70's to men and women throughout South Central Texas.   We want to help you learn how to do things yourself, and will be available to help coach you and provide you with professional tools to do that.

 Our founders...

Guy L. Algar

Motorheads was the dream of Guy Algar, who had worked in the mechanical engineering field for over 25 years. He has worked on designing projects ranging from vacuum machinery used in gold plating ... to space simulation chambers in use on NASA projects.

Guy has owned his 1955 2 door Belair Sedan since he was 16.  Over the years, he has built 3 engines, 2 transmissions and upgraded carburetors, cam shafts and ignition systems to improve her performance and power. New England cold and snow took its toll on the '55 - she's currently needing a full stock body restoration and is awaiting all the parts to proceed with her overhaul.  Guy's  '55 Chevy Pickup will be restored to become one of Motorheads company trucks.

Being a mechanical engineer helps Guy understand the mechanical workings of engines, and helps him troubleshoot elusive problems.

 Andrea L. White

Andrea White is a management & marketing professional with over 25 years experience. She has an avid interest in high performance street rods, learning the art of drag racting, and enjoys dressage and western pleasure riding.
