We cover some project car updates, but in the middle part of this episode. Brad picked up a 79 Colt in VA with a great back story and what was going to be a resto-mod Colt has now turned into a rescue and revival of a car that's very special to the original owners. 

We had a few people request that we record an episode while working in the garage. This one was a bit of an experiment and we hope you like the way it came out. Give us some feedback and this might be come a recurring format every now and then.  Please Rate, review and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, Google Music, Sticher and Radio Public.
