My name is Barry, and I have a passion for old cars. I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, and my dad had a junkyard full of classics, and one-of-a-kinds. Unfortunately, the weather and salt in Pa. did a lot of damage to these gems. Many of them rusted away to nothing. I hated seeing that happen. As I got older, I went into the military and served 3 years in the Army. I spent those years in Georgia, and I was amazed at the condition of the cars there. I realized that not all were destined to die. After I left the military, I pursued a career in aviation. I went to school in Pittsburgh at the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics. From there, I was hired by Delta Air Lines to be a sheet metal mechanic. I have been with Delta for over 23 years, and I live just South of Atlanta. I have enjoyed building and repairing many cars over the years. I even did some dirt track racing. Along the way, I worked with a friend doing restoration work. I would do all the sheet metal work, and he would paint them. Eventually this led to us opening small body shop. We managed to grow the shop, and move to a bigger building. We had 8 bays, and 5 employees. It was fun for about 7 years, but we parted ways, and I went back to doing cars at home. My passion still exists for these old beauties. I have several cars of my own, and I’m always finding more to do. I recently did all the repair work up to and including paint on a 1965 Mustang. That was a big project, and I must say it turned out pretty nice. With all the things I’ve learned over the years, I decided to share what I know by making youtube videos. This has been an interesting experiment. Things that I thought were mundane turned out to be of great interest to the masses. I plan to continue making videos, and I invite you along for the ride.
