Alumicraft LLC, a California-based off-road racing vehicle manufacturer, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California, according to court filings submitted on March 3, 2026.
The firm has previously operated under the names Alumicraft Racecars, Alumicraft, and Alumi Craft, and lists its principal place of business as 10815 Wheatlands Avenue, Suite 1 in Santee.
The company has no previous or pending bankruptcy cases, according to PACER.
- Type of filing: Voluntary petition for bankruptcy
- Chapter: 7
- Case number: 26-00888-JBM7
- Estimated assets: Between $0 and $50,000
- Estimated liabilities: Between $10 million and $50 million
- Estimated number of creditors: Between 1 and 49
Court documents show that Alumicraft reported total assets of $22,761.75 and total liabilities of $16.7 million.
Alumicraft declared that it does not own or possess any real property or personal property that needs attention.
After the administrative expenses are paid, the company will not have any funds available for unsecured creditors, according to the court filings.
Most of the company’s debt stems from unsecured claims totaling $15.76 million. Some of the largest claims include a $15.23 million claim by the estate of Brian Kuhnhenn for a sister-state judgment and a $401,154.98 claim by Split Mountain Industrial Properties related to a lease, according to the filing.
The filing also lists smaller credit card debts owed to Chase Bank.
Alumicraft also reported a $954,027.33 secured claim by Matthew Fleming. The debtor’s property subject to the lien includes equipment, receivables, materials, deposits, and bank accounts.
Financial disclosures show the company’s revenue declined sharply over the past three years. Alumicraft reported $370,833.93 in gross revenue in 2025, $2.98 million in 2024, and $3.63 million in 2023.
The filing lists several legal proceedings involving Alumicraft, including a wrongful death case filed by the estate of Kuhnhenn in Multnomah County Circuit Court and two insurance-related cases involving State Farm.
The document also references cross-litigation between Alumicraft LLC and Alumi Craft Inc. in San Diego Superior Court involving breach of contract or warranty claims.
Barring the wrongful death lawsuit, all other cases are pending.
The petition was signed by Tristan Fleming, who is listed as Alumicraft’s managing member and owner with 100% interest in the business.
The bankruptcy case is being handled by Craig E. Dwyer of San Diego.
