Carol and I founded "Butch's Rod Shop" in 1975 and built it into one of the largest HotRod and Custom Car parts stores in the nation. We were the first to introduce a complete line of chassis and suspension parts for 28/48 Mopar, most GM & Fat Ford Rods, along with a super selection of similar products, plus accessories for the true 50's Customs. Due to an ongoing health problem, we were forced to sell the business in March of 1999. Well, a few years later I got the old back fixed and am feeling much better! After years of just hanging around at shows we decided to go back into the business and in 2010 we re-opened as Butch’s Cool Stuff!
