81. Self-Taught Female Restorer’s Journey to SEMA Stardom

Born to a mechanic father, Chelsea Lesnoski had a natural love of cars. However, her traditional family only allowed her into the shop to sweep the floor. Adding to this, she has faced a variety of serious health struggles, leaving her future uncertain. Taking a job in retail, she bought her first car for transportation but didn’t love the way it looked. She started dabbling with paint correction and detailing, eventually selling that car for a profit. This led to a cycle of buying, restoring, and selling cars for profit. Little did she know that she was launching a career which would gain her many accolades. Today, Chelsea is the co-owner of Throttle Thrashers Garage, is a two time SEMA award builder and is the first female Top 3 builder in SEMA history. One of her SEMA cars was built solo by her, in her one bay garage in only two months!

Don’t miss the conversation with this ridiculously talented yet humble young woman as she details her journey of being self-taught and continually pushing herself and her skills to the next level.
