Our Journey
LEGENDS IN THE MAKING
In 1985, straight out of high school, Brien began his career as a paint assistant under the mentorship of Mark Foxen at Valley Custom Auto Body. His dedication and talent quickly propelled him up the ranks where he led Valley Custom’s paint division for five years.
Along the way, Brien honed his skills at various body shops and undertook the ambitious project of rebuilding a 1934 Chevy coupe.
That same year, Brien partnered with his father, Jim Dunn, sharing a workspace in Fresno. Jim focused on fiberglass work and the design of the Bullet Outrigger boat, while Brien specialized in custom paint jobs for cars and boats, operating under the name Warning Briendunnit.
In July 1994, the family relocated to Madera, California, where Brien expanded his expertise to include fiberglass and gel coat applications.
During this time, Brien collaborated with notable boat manufacturers, including Jack Davidson of Sanger Boats and Bob Leach of Eliminator Boats.
Bullet Fiberglass
BRAINCHILD OF JIM & BRIEN DUNN
In 2005, Brien and Jim established Bullet Fiberglass, Inc., and opened a second shop in Stockton, California.
This marked the launch of the Bullet Outrigger boat, as well as the Berryman Bullet, which debuted on the water.
The recession of 2007 forced the closure of the Stockton location, and operations continued from the Madera shop, where we still operate today.
A pivotal moment occurred in 2008 when Centurion Boats acquired one of our Bullet hydro boats for Eddie Knox's renowned Problem Child. The success of his boat significantly boosted the popularity of Bullet Outriggers.
Notable models such as “Hot Licks,” “Toxic Rocket,” “Tequila Sunrise,” “Speed Sport,” “Spirit Of Texas,” “Thunder Down Under,” “Dirty Duck,” “Untouchables,” and “Shadow” (now known as “Shockwave”) became synonymous with excellence.
Bullet Extreme
A NEW ERA OF PRECISION
Jim Dunn retired in 2018, leading to the rebranding of Bullet Fiberglass to Bullet Extreme, Inc.
Founded by Brien and Sandra Dunn, the Bullet Extreme team continues operations at our established location in Madera, CA.
Bullet Extreme has flourished, fostering strong relationships with past and present customers across the country. A culmination of 30 years of specialized expertise has made Brien a sought-after craftsman in the boating and car industries.
Brien’s trusted team is built to deliver superior quality and innovation in every project. Sandra Dunn leads the office and customer service, ensuring a high standard of support.
Although his notoriety was built in the race boat industry, Brien is a master of fabrication and custom paint projects of all kind.
