Hint: he loves old cars
Who is Ryan?
Ryan built his first restomod at age 7. It was a riding lawnmower souped-up with random stuff he found lying around. It even had a custom paint job. Before that, he was known to drive his dad's Case Tractor around the farm, although his dad had to work the clutch...

What Our Clients Say
It has been an amazing weekend for me at the 2019 Rod Run. Our '49 Chevy took home top honors and was selected as an "Ultimate 5" winner. This is such a dream come true and we can't thank Ryan enough. This shows the level of quality and detail that he can produce. Ryan was awesome to work with during the entire process and his vision combined with attention to detail is incredible. If you are planning a high end build then you should consider Young at Heart Customs.

Young at Heart understands what it takes to go beyond the routine restoration and deliver a rolling piece of artwork with just the right amount of modernization. Ryan performed much of the restoration of my 1970 Chevy Nova. This project included several upgrades that transformed the car from an overlooked, sloppy muscle car to something that handles with the precision you would only expect from a new car. Suspension improvements included a custom 4 link rear suspension, tubular control arms, front and rear sway bars and full adjustable coil-overs. Drivability was also significantly improved with the addition of fuel injection, electronic ignition and an automatic overdrive transmission. The quality of work and attention to detail that went into this project is apparent to anyone that sees the car in person. My favorite aspect of the car isn’t the attention that it always pulls at the gas station, but the fact that you can have a car that maintains this classic styling while offering reliable performance.
