ACC Grand Opening

Michael, Matt's brother, has opened his own Toyota truck shop, Atlanta Custom Creations. He and one of his co-workers from their previous shop decided to go in together and start their own business. They've been open and doing some small projects over the last month and a half, but are having their grand opening today!!

Michael has an MIS degree from Auburn, and used it for a couple of years after graduating until his love of cars took over (trust me, it runs in the family!). He has spent the last couple of years restoring old Land Cruisers and other Toyota trucks in Atlanta.

In college, he had an old 4Runner as well as his '71 FJ40 Land Cruiser that he was always working on and playing with. He and Matt have gone on several trail rides together in the Land Cruiser, and now Michael's restoring it to showcase some of what he can do.

The photo above is of him at a trail ride a while back (it is NOT a Jeep!!). I'll have to post a new photo once the restoration is complete (he's even painting it one of the original classic colors... spring green).

I think these trucks are just the coolest things. I've told Matt that some day I would love to have an old woody wagon to cart kids and dogs around in. They're so neat! Here's a photo of a similar style (a Toyota FJ60) without the wood side panels:


If you have one of these great old (or new) trucks, Michael does great work!

(And yes, this IS a shameless plug). :)
