Built on Precision. Proven Through Racing.
Fabra Kadabra was born at the intersection of precision manufacturing and an obsession with going fast.
I’m Jordan Hillis, a machinist, fabricator, CAD designer, and CAM programmer with more than a decade of CNC machining experience. Manufacturing has been part of my life since I was a kid. I started working summers in our family-owned manufacturing business at 13, began machining while still in high school, and joined the shop full-time at 18.
My background is primarily in injection mold machining, where complex geometry, difficult materials, and extremely tight tolerances are part of the job. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to learn under several highly experienced toolmakers while developing my skills in CNC machining, CAD/CAM, TIG welding, fabrication, and product design.
Outside of the toolroom, racing became the place where I could put all of those disciplines together.
What began with machining custom components for local racers eventually pulled me deeper into chassis fabrication. With guidance from an experienced chassis builder who has spent decades building Pro Mods and high-level radial cars, I began designing, machining, and fabricating components for increasingly serious applications—including building my own 25.1 tube-chassis Mustang.
That relationship remains an important part of how Fabra Kadabra develops parts today. New ideas aren't designed in a vacuum. Designs are discussed, questioned, refined, and evaluated from both a machining and chassis-building perspective before they ever make it onto a racecar.

From One-Off Parts to Fabra Kadabra
The 4-link systems that became the foundation of Fabra Kadabra started as custom components built for racers rather than products intended for a catalog.
The goal was simple: use modern machining capabilities and premium materials to produce lightweight, uncompromising components for cars where every detail matters.
Those designs found their way onto real racecars, were put to work, and produced results.
That success is what convinced me it was time to turn a collection of one-off parts into something bigger.
Fabra Kadabra is the result.

Race Proven Before Product Line
We aren't interested in filling a catalog just to have more products to sell.
Fabra Kadabra is starting with the components we know, and the product line will expand as new designs are developed, tested, refined, and proven in real racing applications.
The long-term goal is to build a complete line of premium, lightweight components for serious drag cars—with the same standard applied to every part we put our name on.
There will always be another idea to machine, another part to improve, and another tenth to chase.
I'm still learning. I'm still building. And I still want to go faster.
