I love telling the story behind classic cars and their owners. Over the years I’ve spun many a tale, and a reoccurring theme I have found is the tendency for classic car owners to hold onto their cars for years…unlike our current era of disposable cars. Bob and Barb Mullins have a pair of classics they have held onto for…

Tri-five Chevys are a corner stone in the world of classic cars, and most enthusiasts have found themselves drooling over one at some point. Now, we could argue until we are blue in the face about which of the 3 years has the best lines…but when it came to Shaun Schroeder’s first classic car…he knew he wanted a 55. With…
The beauty you see gracing these pages was built by MetalWorks as our personal “shop car”…not a bad shop vehicle huh?
