Dave Hall sat down with members of the Lincoln Young Professionals Group on July 8th to talk about how he started Restore a Muscle Car and lessons he’s learned along the way.

Dave Hall, the owner and operator of Restore a Muscle Car LLC in Lincoln, started out in the computer science field working mostly in networking, security, web-based development and as a partner in several software companies.  However, his hobby was always in car restoration.  His love of cars started when he worked on cars with his father.

After 13 years in the computer industry, Hall decided to take a chance and started his restoration business.  He began by renting a 4,000 square foot facility.  The shop was run by Hall and he employed just 2 technicians.  Six years later, he owns a 15,000 square foot facility and two acres of land.  The shop now has a full-time and part-time staff running numerous restoration projects.
