Travis Feist, the owner of Dakota Kustomz, started his passion in the automotive and motorcycle industry at age four where he grew up with a wrench in his hand. He made improvements on whatever he could. He grew up on his family farm where he would upgrade and toy with any machinery he could get his hands on. His 8th-grade year is where the life of wanting to someday open up his own custom garage came into vision as he and a buddy went to their local junkyard and came across a 65’ Impala Super Sport. Excited with enthusiasm, the owner of the junkyard said he’d let him take it for $200. For the next three years, Travis put everything he had into as he rebuilt its motor, transmission, and differential during the shop class he was in. By Travis’s junior year he found himself teaching the class after racking up so many hours. After all that was finished, he traded the owner of the local body shop a full paint job for landscaping his yard to complete his first very own custom build.
