- Michael (Mike) Hall, born February 4, 1958, owner of Rust Bros Restorations. A rock blaster by profession, Hall began collecting cars in his teens and decades later owned over 400 parked on his property near the Trans-Canada Highway.

Hall then built a restoration workshop on his property and the show started in 2018.[3][4][5]
