While working toward a graduate degree in cellular and molecular biochemistry, he built a mini-monster truck from a 1968 Chevrolet Suburban, mounted on 54-inch tires, and brought it to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show at just 24 years old. That side project became Overkill Racing and Chassis, a shop known for turning ambitious one-off vehicle concepts into fully functional builds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"447\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002Fimage2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71845\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002Fimage2.jpeg 447w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002Fimage2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002Fimage2-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buschmann’s creative process leans heavily on SOLIDWORKS Design. As his projects grew beyond simple welded tube structures into full vehicles with suspension, sheet metal, and moving parts, he needed software that could bring every system together in one place. As he put it, SOLIDWORKS Design enabled him to design sheet-metal parts, create moving components, add tube work, create fixturing jigs, and bring everything together into a single complete assembly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results speak for themselves: Overkill now models its builds to roughly 90% completion digitally before any metal is cut, catching fit and motion issues on the laptop rather than on the shop floor.
