Snake
Alley Customs of Chicago, for the last six years,
has been building award winning, show stopping bikes for other
"custom builders", that would put their names on
our bikes. Our contracts are now over with those builders,
and from now on, every bike we build will have "Snake
Alley" on it.
NOW THE TEAM:
Marty Behan is the founder of Snake
Alley Customs. Marty has been repairing, restoring,
dealing in, and building countless hot rods, muscle and
high
performance street machines for more than 30 years. For the
last ten years, he has been designing and building show
winning
custom
bikes. He brings with him years of experience in design and
custom fabrication. Marty has built countless creations
in his many years, all of which have been award winning.
He also holds patents on some of the products on the Snake
Alley Customs online
store and parts on his bikes shown on the web site.
A key member of the Snake Alley
Customs team is John Weeden, a.k.a. Boston John.
Like his father, Ronnie, John is a talented custom fabricator,
body man and painter, and has showcased his many talents
since arriving at Snake Alley Customs.
John brings many years of experience with him. He has also
built
many
street
machines
and race cars. Many of which have been in magazines and
have
held
the centerfold/cover feature. One of his recent cars being
a current world record holding EZ
Street
Corvette.
This
car
won
the championship
in 2002. There's not a thing this talented guy from the
east coast can't do.
Another key member of the Snake Alley
Customs team
is Rick Wedekind, a.k.a. Joker. Since arriving at Snake
Alley Customs, bringing
a vast mechanical knowledge with him, Joker has yet to meet
a challenge that can't be met. One may think
that being the youngest member of Snake
Alley Customs may seem like he doesn't have the skills.
However for the past five years, Joker has proven the skeptics
wrong by showcasing his many talents and abilities time
and time again. Joker spends most of his time on the shop
floor
refining
his skills in customization and fabrication, and he is also
the contact person for which many of the companies and customers
that Snake
Alley Customs deal
with.
Another key member of Snake Alley
Customs
is Nick Scavo. Nick comes with years of experience in super
street race cars. Nick is well known in the NMCA racing
circuit,
from his 8 second wheel standing, 4000 pound black 1965 Chevy
impala, to his current LOW 7 second 1969 Camaro, which
won the 2003 Super Street World Championship!!. By the way--
this is all done on 10 inch wide tires and through the exhaust.
Nick is a super tuner with Nos, turbos and superchargers.
How fast do you think they can get your 600 pound bike to
run?
Coming soon from another fire team, The Marines, Christopher
Behan [Marty's son]. Chris recently got back from combat
in
Iraq. He joined the Snake Alley
Customs team in June of '04 when his tour of duty
with The Marines expired.
Last but certainly not least, comes Tony Boston, a machinist,
welder, fabricator, and master motorcycle technician. He brings
to Snake Alley Customs a long
background of riding motorcycles.
Snake Alley's many years of
experience with both cars and bikes puts them right up there
with the top, more well known custom builders, period. "You'll
know it's a bike from Snake Alley Customs."
Please support our troops in war and in peace, as there still
are many troops in harms way. We need them now more than ever
and always will to insure our freedom.
Thank you
Snake Alley Customs
