The great thing about eastern Washington is that old cars really don’ t t

affected by the salt air. Tim hasn’t washed his car. Ever. In fact, every
piece he has pulled of other cars to use on his Plymouth retains the
original grease and grime from the car it came from. You’ll often see
pictures of Tim actually driving the hell out of this car… because he
takes pride in the fact that this thing’s on the road - something we

Tim steps in and gets their cars
running and driving again so they
can enjoy their vehicles.
