1957Birdman Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) The other day I was surfing the internet and decided to see what was going on at secondchancegarage.com. The website appears to no longer be up and running. Does anyone know what happened to it? I thought they had a lot of useful information, especially for the novice auto restorer.

I don't know this company, but I checked www.secondchancegarage (spelled "chance," not "change") and it still didn't come up. Can you tell us a bit more of what they had, or had on their site? Were they an antique-car repair facility? Thanks. Edited March 4 by John_S_in_Penna (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcapra Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Some of their videos are still on Youtube. They seem to be a kind of charity garage who fix up late model cars and donate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Wrong one, there is .org for the charity and a .com for the restoration group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957Birdman Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Secondchancegarage.com was a website that had articles about auto restoration. They restored a 55 T-Bird (probably the reason I discovered it) over a series of articles where they took on various challenges fixing the car. As I said in my first post, there was a lot of useful information for beginners and more "seasoned" auto restorers about various tasks. There were also articles about restored cars.

1957Birdman Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 The one I was referring to initially is the one with the broken website, secondchancegarage.com, which is related to auto restoration. The other ones seem to be charity sites. Lew Bachman 1957 Thunderbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
