This week is a special guest I met at SEMA but did not get to talk to until he agreed to be on the show. David Rey is well known from the show Graveyard Cars but in 2018 he realized he was not cut out for the world of reality TV. It was only after he quit the show that his wife said he should just start restoring Mopars in his own shop. When he rattles of the list of the cars that are in line for work, it would make most resto shops shudder. Even with all of the jobs, David is a one man show handing the bulk of the work himself!
DB Restorations is named as a multiple tribute. DB could stand for three different things, “Dodge Brothers”, “Dodge Boys”, or David and Bill (his brother). He remembers as a young child laughing at the Dodge Boys cartoon commercials selling MOPAR products in the 70’s.
His sister, a die hard MOPAR lover, even had a jacket with the words “Dodge Girl” written on it, a license plate with Ms MOPAR on it, and started her own car club dedicated to her favorite brand. David admits that his sister was the biggest influence on his love for MOPAR vehicles and would not be where he is without her influence. His first vehicle was a 1970 Challenger convertible that he purchased from his sister.
