At Rad Rides, excellence is more than a goal—it’s our standard. That’s why we place such high value on the people behind the projects. One of our most trusted sources for top-tier talent is McPherson College’s Automotive Restoration program—the only four-year bachelor's program in the nation dedicated to automotive restoration.
This program doesn’t just teach the basics. Students are trained across every aspect of restoration—from mechanical systems and engine rebuilding to body fabrication, paintwork, historical research, and beyond. The result? Graduates who are well-rounded, deeply knowledgeable, and ready to contribute to complex, high-end builds from day one.
We’re proud to have several McPherson alumni on our team, including Adam Banks, Colby Marshall, and Nate Fetters. Their skill, creativity, and professionalism have played a critical role in Rad Rides' recent growth and award-winning projects.
McPherson’s commitment to craftsmanship, history, and innovation aligns perfectly with our values as a full-service restoration and custom shop. It’s why we continue to seek out and support graduates from this outstanding program.
