Welcome to my web page.
If you have arrived here expecting to have your vintage automobile professionally restored, I apologize. Instead you
will find the story of a family involved in saving a few classic automobiles from the scrap yard while providing themselves
with something to drive that isn't all plastic and electronic sensors. While at times this process borders on total
insanity, the joy of the finished product makes the effort worthwhile. I don't claim to have near enough talent to restore
autos to show quality, but strive to produce a safe, reliable daily driver that looks good. These things were built
to be on the road, not in a museum.
The name Hidden
Acres stems from the fact that we live on six acres of wooded property in central New Jersey that only has 150 feet of road
frontage. Since the development was built next to us last year we aren't as hidden as we would like to be, but hopefully
the new fir trees will grow quickly. Since none of my new neighbors asked what I do in the building out back before
they decided to move here, I don't particularly care if my hobby bothers them or not. Since I built my shop legally,
with permits and all, and was here long before them, too bad if you don't like noise and rusty looking vehicles sitting next
door.
This page is divided into four areas. The
shop, Alan's 1967 Mustang, Karen's 1974 Volkswagen, and Paul's 1965 Dodge Town Wagon. Yeah, I'm Paul.
I hope you enjoy the saga of our efforts and it inspires you to save a piece of auto history from the recycler without it
having to gather dust in a museum.
