Ron Finch is a multi-talented artist who single handedly started the custom biker craze back in the 60's. He is known world-wide for his outrageous custom motorcycles and his mastery of color and design in paint.

METALife is Ron's most recent venture where he brings metal to life by sculpting found metal to create creatures, plants and even a giant motorcycle.

To hang out with Ron at his studio in Pontiac Michigan is a treat in itself. The guy is one of the most down to earth people I've ever met, and you would never know he is such an icon in the motorcycle world. His studio is almost cooler than his bikes and made from recycled pieces of metal and glass he finds along his miles of travels.

You can sit for hours and listen to Ron explain where he found various pieces that make up this amazing house. His studio is my dream house!

Ron also won the Discovery Channel's Biker Build off amongst many of his other awards he has collected throughout the years.
