Original cars tend to be boring with no personality.

I'm Mark. I'm a Marine veteran, I live in North Texas, and I'm autistic with ADHD. That combination explains my shop better than anything else. Autism made cars the thing my mind locks onto and won't let go of. ADHD is why I can't stop at one.

So the shop is full: a barn-find 1967 Corvette Sting Ray, a 1966 Scout 800 parked since 1980, a 1972 GMC C10 with an LS swap, 1965 Mustangs, a 1970 Suburban, my 2001 F250 Powerstroke and a 1990 F350 7.3 IDI that spent six years seized. Then there's the 1980 Monza I parked before the Marines and brought back seventeen years later.

Before the Marines, a friend gave me a Monza that didn't run. A new fuel pump and it started right up. Watch the Short: The Free 1980 Monza That Saved Me Before I Joined the Marines ↗

I don't build museum pieces. Most of these become restomods, with modern parts where they make the car better to drive. On Dieseled Dragon I show every step, the wins and the mistakes.
