Here at YnZ’s I answer the phone every day to take orders, or answer
questions from folks wanting to know more about the wiring they will
need for their restoration. It has been interesting over these last 40
years of offering our Wiring Harness for the restoration hobbyists, to
go from talking to people my fathers age, to talking with my peers, to
talking with younger people trying the “learn as you go” process.
The point is that younger people are getting into this hobby! We talk
with them every day. These are the folks who Grandpa or Dad left the
old car to finish up, or just start, or to keep on using the already
restored vehicle on the road today. They aren’t as car savvy as their
predecessors, but they get an “A” for rolling up their sleeves and
learning from the “university of hard knocks”. We also find that “Take
a Kid to a Car Show” really works because we hear the stories of young
people who were influenced by an older family member or family friend
and discovered the cars of their future hobby dreams.

The new younger hobbiests don’t go to the swap meets as earnestly as
those who came before them, but they shine in the using computer search
engines and a web site “will help me find that part” department.

These hidden restorers are the future of the antique,classic car and
truck restoration hobby. You don’t see them, but my telephone is
showing me they are appearing in greater numbers every day.
