RustToRoad Mechanic
I've been turning wrenches since the late '80s. I've restored stock muscle cars, built restomods, swapped engines, rewired dashboards, rebuilt transmissions, and handled rust repair on everything from barn find Camaros to survivor-grade Mustangs. This isn't hobbyist knowledge โ it's what I do for a living. When you get a build report from RustToRoad, you're getting guidance from someone who's actually done this work, not copied it from a forum post.
