We’re dedicated to giving you the very best in DIY classic car motivation. You can follow along with my ever-expanding shop truck project, turning a 1973 Ford F-250 Highboy from a beaten-and-broken ranch truck into my fully functional shop truck. The 1970 C10, named Molly after our beloved Great Dane, is being rebuilt from the frame up into a fast-as-I-can-build-it street truck. And finally, the long-neglected 1964 Bug. That needs everything freshened up. These three projects will require all manner of repairs, from welding, bodywork, and paint to engine and transmission rebuilding. The store will have shop swag, custom pieces, as well as tools, so keep checking back for the grand opening. I also add my own personal spin on environmental nonsense and what I am into at the moment.
