Keith Sultana: Owner
Keith’s passion for cars was instilled within him at an early age. Born in Warren, MI. Keith was a stone’s throw away from “Motor City”. His first major exposure to cars was at the Woodward Dream Cruise and Autorama where thousands of people from around the world bring their hot rods for display and cruising. Keith is passionate about prewar hot rods, vintage racing and resto-mods. His first car was a ‘71 Nova.
During the day, Keith has established a long career in Manufacturing with Ingersoll-Rand and General Electric. At night, he loves to research restoration projects and working around the shop.
He is co-owner of Man Made Legends with his wife Leslie. They have 3 boys and live in Davidson, NC. When Keith isn’t dreaming up ideas for hot rods or working at either job, he enjoys fishing.
Leslie Sultana: Owner
Leslie grew up around cars in Pikeville, KY. Her father was a “car guy” and was always bringing something new around, which peaked her interest at an early age. One of her first cars was a Chevrolet Camaro, and throughout her life, she’s also owned a Corvette and El Camino. Her current love is "Sally" her 1966 Ford ½ -ton truck you see on our site.
Leslie is an avid early American antique collector and spends time hunting those finds while husband, Keith Sultana, hunts for car parts. She’s always looking for that piece of furniture or art that captures what the American spirit is all about - the freedom to do, build and be anything you want.
When Leslie isn’t chasing their three boys, or antiques, she enjoys studying interior design and helping stray animals.
Bill Bratton: Fabricator
At age 12, I purchased my first vehicle, which was a 1959 Chevy El Camino. My love for the automotive industry expanded into asphalt stock cars. It was then that I honed my skills in welding and fabrication repairing my racer. This also sparked an interest in suspension systems.
After studying suspension for many years, I went to work for a Nascar truck team. Expanding my skills, I went to work for a company pioneering electric car builds. In 2009 as a Crew Chief, I set a land speed record at the Bonneville salt flats.
Moving into 2010 as a driver, I won the X Prize alternative side by side completion with my team. Through the vast racing experience I have perfected my skills in welding, power engine tuning, fabrication, and wiring. My love for the industry is to build the vehicles to go fast and be beautiful through craftsmanship and innovation.
