    Travis Sylvester of Sylvester's Customs | From Day Job to Full-Time Custom Car Builder
    Dec 18 2025

    Custom car builder Travis Sylvester shares how he went from working a full-time job at night builds to running Sylvester’s Customs full time through YouTube, paint, and education.

    In this episode of It’s All About the Build, I sit down with Travis Sylvester, owner of Sylvester’s Customs in California and host of the Sylvester’s Customs YouTube channel.

    Travis shares what it was really like working a full-time job while building custom cars at night, slowly growing his skills and audience until he finally quit his day job to pursue custom car building full time.

    We dive into how YouTube became a powerful tool for showcasing builds, teaching custom paint techniques, and building a loyal community. Travis also talks about why education matters to him and how his hands-on paint classes are helping others learn real-world skills from an active custom shop.

    This episode is for anyone grinding after hours, thinking about taking the leap, or looking to use content, craftsmanship, and education to build a career in the automotive world.

    For the Money. For the Glory. For the Fun. And as always—pinky’s out.
