We have began on the AMC Eagle. You can still be part of the process. If you’re a First Responder or Veteran and want to learn more about vehicle maintenance and repair by helping on this project let us know.

We’re back—and our first project is all about giving back!
After a long, brutal summer, the Garage doors are officially open, and we are kicking things off with a very special build: a 1981 AMC Eagle 4wd wagon. We are completely refurbishing and freshening up this classic machine, but it’s not for us. Once it’s ready, we are donating it to a deserving veteran family who needs reliable, all-weather wheels.
We want YOU to help us build it.
If you are a first responder or a veteran, we want you under the hood and on the wrenches with us. NO EXPERIENCE necessary. This is your chance to learn, hang out, swap stories, and directly impact a fellow service member's life.

How to Get Involved:

• Join the Crew: If you want to participate send us a Facebook message or email us on our website.
• Follow the Build: Hit that Follow button on our page to watch our progress. We will be sharing regular updates and details on how we plan to select the family.
• Spread the Word: Share this post so we can reach as many local heroes and worthy families as possible.
Let’s get this Eagle back on the road for a family who truly deserves it. Reach out today to join the project!

The back wall is completed and we have begun framing and starting on the side walls. It’s very time consuming as we are milling our own lumber onsite. We hop to have the Woodshop program up and running in October. Hoping the cooler mornings will continue.

It's been a little while since we've posted. The Arizona heat has had us a bit out of sorts, but we're still plugging away.

We've been making progress on the woodshop build and picking away at a few projects behind the scenes. We're planning to be in full swing by September, so stick with us—we've got a lot of exciting things coming your way this fall!

Thanks for following along. We can't wait to share what's next. It’s been a bit since we have posted.

If you’re a First Responder or Veteran or know someone, and want to learn more about our program send a DM or email us through our website.

We have been working with some of our advanced metal working tools. Here is a patch panel mockup, where a shrinker stretcher was employed to precision-craft a 90-degree bend, matching the specified radius. Subsequently, the English wheel was utilized to meticulously shape the complex curves of the fender. As the damaged section is replaced and the new piece is fine-tuned for a flawless fit, this restoration project is progressing with very satisfying results. Stay tuned for further updates.
