About Me

In between working my full-time job and raising a family, I restore old cars, as well as repair and maintain our daily drivers (mine, wife, kids).

Although I've owned and restored quite a few classic cars, I've never had the luxury of keeping more than one or two at a time. I'll drive them for a while, then sell them and move on to another project.

Learning To Weld

I learned to weld out of necessity. Back in the eighties, my first full restoration was my 1970 Chevy El Camino. It had rust spots everywhere and needed major sheet metal repair.

Since I didn't have the money to pay someone to fix it, I enrolled in a vocational school and learned how to weld. MIG welding is the easiest welding process to learn and is required for any automotive sheet metal work.

The Camino was my 'work-horse' and daily driver for 13 years.

I also restore classic motorcycles. One of my "keepers" is this 1961 Harley-Davidson Servi-car, which you can read about here.

My Daily Driver

Aside from getting me back and forth to work faithfully and comfortably, my Ford Sport-Trac has transported bicycles, motorcycles, go karts, kayaks, kids, lumber, mulch, furniture, kitchen appliances, engines, transmissions, tires, wheels, and on occasion, a few trips to the local dump.
