... and not one damned SUV in sight!

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.
