Tools and Tips: Danny Hopkins' Guide to Classic Car Restoration

It's me, Mark Stone and I'm excited to welcome Danny Hopkins, the editor of Practical Classics magazine, as my guest. Danny has a wealth of knowledge and experience in classic cars and the world of car restoration.

As the pandemic hit and lockdowns were enforced, many people found themselves with extra time and decided to take on projects they had always wanted to do. This led to a resurgence in interest in classic cars and car restoration. Danny and I will discuss how people got back into working on their classic cars during the pandemic and its impact on the classic car community. Danny will also be sharing his personal experiences of working on classic cars, as well as some tips and tricks for those new to the hobby. So whether you're a seasoned classic car enthusiast or just getting started, this episode will have something for everyone.
