The Lumber Street garage

 

The first shop I rented on my own. From 1991 until 1998 it was a fun place to be, and we turned out a lot of very nice cars. I couldn't have done without the help of many friends, the first and foremost was Rusty Damm. He was a strict taskmaster, and kept things going ahead all the time. He passed away in 2002 and I still miss him. 

Other friends who helped build projects were Hector Fajaro, Nick Rivera, Tony Losito, Jimmy Damm, and Lefty Rappetti. We all had some beautiful cars and traveled to car shows together often.
