About Fat Fender Garage

Fat Fender Garage started as a hobby and a dream before it turned into a reality in 2013. We feel that becoming good at something requires being consistent at it. The trucks gave us the joy and opportunity we were looking for to become specialists and hone our craft. We specialize in Coyote Swaps, Full Classic & Hot Rod Restoration Builds which opened up the doors to developing brand new custom chassis' and our own custom products so you can bring the Fat Fender Garage experience to your garage at home.

Meet the Team

Jason Noel

Jason Noel

Owner and C.E.O.

Jason started out as a bus boy at a Mexican restaurant here in Arizona, then went on to become an airplane pilot, then carpenter, then real estate agent, then truck builder, which he’s been for the last 8 years. Although he’s been a Ford guy all his life, he has a soft spot for all vintage trucks. His favorite FFG builds are usually the last one built, and his favorite decade of truck seems to change by the week. When he’s not working on/ managing builds, he’s usually found studying, learning, and reading. A little known fact about Jason: he has a deep hatred for sharks.

Charlie Brandt

Charlie Brandt

Shop Foreman

A former dairy farmer and bull-rider, Charlie has now been in the automotive industry for over 20 years. He ended up here at FFG after seeing we were hiring through Instagram, and had become one of our best mechanics before becoming our Shop Foreman in 2021. A Dodge guy at heart, his dream daily driver would be adding some mods to his sweet ’75 D100. He loves 70s era trucks, especially our ’72 Blue Bronco we built. On the weekends you’ll more often than not catch him riding his Harley, but deep down his favorite things in life are his wife and kids, but most of all his beautiful grand babies.

Karisa Dillon

Karisa Dillon

Retail and Marketing Manager

After moving to the valley in 2019 for an 'office job' she 'immediately hated', Karisa knew she had to find something more fulfilling. She had spent a few years working on her 'bagged 350z' which peaked her interest in the custom automotive industry, and coincidentally landed her at Fat Fender Garage one morning. After one conversation with Jason, she quit her job and started as a Painter's Apprentice in the Paint/Body Shop at FFG the next day. Many hats later, Karisa now manages the Retail and Marketing at Fat Fender.
