I'm Ricky. I'm the co-founder, and head[/only] tech, of Chuck N' Dick's Garage down in Richmond, Va. I've been into cars for a while, and blah blah blah.
I do a ton of rust repair on older aircooled VW's and I've been working on mostly Volkswagens for the better part of 12 years. I'm kind of over it, and I'm really looking to branch out with this new business and do a lot more creative work and get into more shit than just repairs and rust/rot repair and maintenance work.
Current shop projects are a 1970 Volksrod and my 82 Yamaha Virago "cafe" bike (which has electrical annoyances but has otherwise been built for a few years). We had a '72 squareback but that just left to be with a new owner, and I'm sure will shorty be replaced with another shop project. So far there aren't any customer builds worth really mentioning, but there should be a motorcycle build and a couple older VW builds coming up soon that might be worth talking about, we'll see.
Here's some pictures of some of the work I've done over the last couple years, just as an example. Feel free to hit me up if you have questions or need anything, I'm always lookin for new clients and opportunities.
