About

Welcome to my hobby shop.

First, a disclaimer - The Rusty Nuts Garage is not a business and I don't work on other folk's cars. This is my shop. For my projects.

So why am I here? I like old cars. Really old cars. There's just something about these ancient Detroit relics that ignites a spark of passion in me. There's more to it than that, more than I can squeeze into this space to be sure, but simply put, I just like being around old cars. I like working on them and I like cruising around in them. And now I'm doing something I didn't have a chance to do when I was younger; work on some vintage iron, strictly for fun. Tear into one, fix her up, add a few personal touches and bring her back to life... with my own two hands. Since I was a kid I've always enjoyed tearing things apart, learning things along the way that I didn't know before. I still enjoy that challenge.

I guess I'm just making up for lost time now.


In Memoriam

The Rusty Nuts Garage is dedicated to the memory of my first wife Elizabeth Susan, who succumbed to cancer in 1987 at the age of 29.

Spring of 1978 - posing with my 63 Plymouth longroof, ready to hit the road. Before everyone and their brother wanted one, we were just slightly ahead of our time.
