I am Jaimie Eaton, the owner of Rusty’s Restoration, and Rusty’s Wrenches—a builder, a problem-solver, and a firm believer in the power of perseverance. My journey wasn’t paved with privilege; I grew up in the Antelope Valley without stability, raised by a single parent who struggled with addiction. Many assumed I was lost, an outsider, bound by circumstance. But I saw things differently.

Society tells us that hard work leads to success, yet for many like me, the path is anything but straightforward. I had to forge my own way, learning through trial and error, fueled by curiosity, creativity, and an unshakable determination. I developed a passion for mechanics, restoration, and craftsmanship—not just for the machines, but for the history, culture, and stories they carry.

Rusty’s Restoration  is more than a business; it’s a mission. A place where lost knowledge is revived, where young minds are given the tools—both literal and figurative—to build something greater. Through engineering, hands-on experience, and community, we are restoring more than just cars. We are rebuilding confidence, opportunity, and the belief that no one is beyond repair.

This is my story. This is our work. And we’re just getting started..
