Tour of his remodeled home (optional) Stephen’s Story (by Stephen) “Looking back 40 years, I was deeply involved in restoring cars, but I realized I might never retire if I kept funding my car hobby. I sold off six or seven cars, keeping the 69 XKE, and focused on clocks, which I found I enjoyed working on. Clocks became a real business just as I was about to be bought out from my day job. As part of the clock business, I developed the skills to restore clock cases and other parts —from creating new parts to faux finishing to make parts that perfectly matched. Then somehow, I found I could afford to get back into cars, likely because I started day trading. A few more years passed, and the original garage was full, even with two lifts, and my wife suggested it was time for another garage and more lifts. She was right. And now the new garage is also full.” Come join us to welcome our new ORPCA member, Stephen, his wife Kelly, and tour his updated home, shops, garage, and vehicle collection.
