1964 Corvette Restoration

Took the body off of this Vette, stripped it down - every nut, spring, bushing, bearing, wire, brake line, fuel lines, brake part.  The frame, control arms and solid steel was sent out to get send out to be sand blasted and powder coated.

To begin, my name is Tim. Born in America but I think, unlike most, I was on my own at a young age and had to learn life at a young age.  My school learning ended after middle school though I did earn my GED at the same time I would have graduated. I was in and out of trouble, but not so much for crime so much, but for refusing to let them control me. That is why I sum the first 40 years up as "My life on the run." Traveling the US, working here, doing this, finding myself in some of the most unusual situations and relationships you could imagine.  Truthfully, an on and off again taste for alcohol was the main cause. I did learn more trade skills in different fields along the way and overcome obstacles, some most people could never imagine.

I gave up that life on the run just over 21 years ago, when I finally gave up alcohol.  I have since own my own auto repair business. made 1,000's of friends, added many more skill sets including computers, internet. Bought a home, lost it, had a shop stolen, took it back. Learned the process and elected a delegate, them up to a CO. state delegate. Suffered a fall from a bridge, collapsed a lung and broke 107 bones. Don't let me leave God out of anything I say here.  He was carrying through it all. After 3 weeks in a coma, 26 screws, 2 rods and 2 plates, it took a minute but I was back working in 5 month from the fall. That full story is another page on here.
