Restoring Style  |  Driving Performance

The Salty Lab Garage is the start of a hobbyist dream... to work on the classics, from hot rods to rusted relics and trucks to motorcycles.  It's meant to be a platform to escape the everyday deadlines and truly enjoy doing something you love, for no one else but you.


Since 2023, The Salty Lab Garage has started to take shape with improving existing equipment and purchasing new tools, all while putting along with the day-to-day fun enhancements to current fleet vehicles.


All the vehicles from The Salty Lab Garage are meant to be stress-free builds with no intentions to win awards at car shows.  It's to satisfy our visions for the cars, and for the sheer fun and enjoyment of driving them.  Eventually... they will be sold, because everything can be for sale.  But until then, the ride will be enjoyed!
