About a year ago I meet a fellow through a business associate who needed some metal work done on a 69 Belair. I repaired and installed a used quarter panel for him which he was very happy with, and I think that was the end of our business dealings. Then he comes to me with a 67 Olds 98. A vinyle top car that had some very severe rust around the windows. We fix that up for him and again he is very happy. So now he invites me down to his shop to look over some future work he has for me. Let me just say I was totally blown away with what I seen there. You can't see anything of what is going on at this place from the road, but once you get down the drive way a huge shop and awesome car hoard come into view. So sit back, relax, grab your beer and take a pictorial stroll with me in Johnny's shop.[P

This shop is an absolute treasure trove. Everywhere you look there is more and more interesting stuff to see, with a story behind every car, boat, snowmobile, part, and tool collected. I could have spent hours in here exploring and taking pictures, but if you study these pics you can get a taste of all the eye candy.
I personally have fallen in love with the 60 Bonneville.

Now one last treat. Just a couple short videos I took before I left.
