Cutworm Specialties was established in 2006 in the small town of Hayesville, NC. What started primarily as a motorcycle repair and custom paint shop looking to provide a service, Cutworm Specialties has gradually evolved into a shop driven by the passion to design and manufacture custom hot rods and the challenge of custom fabrication projects.
A few years after opening the shop, while looking to obtain more experience in fabrication to compliment the invaluable knowledge gained in engine serviceand repair, Cutworm Specialties owner, Jeb Greenstone, started building custom motorcycles with an emphasis on retro- styling coupled with simplistic functionality. Along the way, Jeb realized he could now possibly fulfill a dream that he had carried for over ten years; build a 1930 chop top Model A.
This dream of a custom Model A quickly hit the wall of reality when Jeb started shopping around for bodies and realized that the bodies were either in poor condition or too expensive. Instead of giving up on the dream, Jeb accepted this as a challenge and decided to take on the project from a different approach. If the bodies were not available to purchase reasonably, why not fabricate the bodies from scratch?
That question lead to the design, fabrication, and creation of “Close Enough,” a hand crafted, totally custom, fully functioning hot rod built from the ground- up. “Close Enough” incorporates the characteristics of retro-styling and simplistic functionality that has driven Cutworm Specialties from its inception, while at the same time, makes a dream reasonably achievable.
