"In 1974, Total Cost Involved
Engineering began to set the standard for quality when we built one of
the first model ‘A’ reproduction frames. It took
the Classic Car restoration market by storm. Today, we own 32,000 square foot manufacturing facility, where
we deliver a broad mix of products serving Street Rodders, Hot Rodders and Muscle Car enthusiasts
nationwide, from builders of street rods, classic cars to muscle cars and trucks. We’ve
earned numerous design awards, including the coveted ‘Manufacturer
of the Year’ Award from SEMA-SRMA. Through a well-trained
team of experienced engineers and machinists, we’re
still setting the highest standard for reliability and performance
— as we’ve done now for 35 years —
and we promise to achieve this standard in all the products
we deliver to you.”

Sal Solorzano |
|

VP Operations / General Manager |
|
|
Sal Solorzano joined TCI about 27 years ago. Since that time, the previous auto parts store manager and line mechanic worked 4 years in TCI’s Shipping Department and 6 years in the Chassis and Small Parts Departments. For the past 17 years, Sal has been TCI’s Vice President and General Manager.
It was Gary Densham, the fastest Funny Car driver on the planet and former auto shop teacher at Gahr High School in Cerritos, California, that turned Sal’s interest to cars. In fact, Sal and the other students in that auto shop class helped Mr. Densham build his Model A sedan. That particular Model A included one of TCI’s first Model A chassis! Before taking auto shop at age 15, Sal was interested in athletics. Needless to say, athletics have taken a back seat ever since! |
