From a $2,000 Tool Lot to Our First Project Car

We bought a mechanic’s tool collection, cleaned it up with the team, and sold it for $7,000. That deal gave Longshot its starting budget—and helped fund our first auction car. Week 1 follows the beginning: collecting Bill’s tools, sorting the haul, making the sale, clearing out the garage, and learning how the auction process actually works. By the end, our first project is at the door. A special thank-you to Bill’s family for trusting us with his collection. His tools helped get this whole project moving. We’re a group of friends building Longshot one project at a time. Subscribe to follow the first build, the garage, and everything we learn along the way.
