HILLBILLY VINTAGE CLASSICS

My name is Mark Blankenship, founder of Hillbilly Vintage Classics. I'm from Huntington, WV and specialize in making reproduction Harley parts, including sidecar loop castings and neck bearing cups, among many other things. I've been a member of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America since 1997; my ID number is 4534... I began working at Huntington Harley-Davidson in the 70's as a motorcycle mechanic. In the 80's I was the co-owner of a custom bike shop, Custom Classic, in Huntington. There I was in charge of mechanic work, painting and fabrication. In the early 90's I began restoring antique Harley-Davidsons, and during this time I went to work for an investment casting foundry. This is where I started reproducing hard-to-find parts used in restoration.
