VeteranOn Veterans Day, the shop’s Facebook page thanked Russell Taylor for his service. In the shop he’s Russ.
The black 1936 Chevy in these photos is a good example of the work: Russ rebuilt its carburetor and fuel pump right here in the shop. The rest is what RT describes as “repairs that are needed, from brakes to tune ups and more.”
