The guy down the street has always worked on his own cars and his garage is as neat and well-supplied as any in NASCAR. So when he got an early retirement buyout he decided to see if he could make a go of restoring old cars. He got his first client and set to work fixing what he could, and searching the Internet for what he needed. But he was smart enough and careful enough to only deal with parts sellers that would accept credit cards. And he’s become a busy auto restoration man.
