Whatever Happened to "Nimrod"

[Dan in Pasadena]

For any newer GJ'er, Nimrod's garage is truly inspiring:

I did a search and found no posts from him after late 2009 I think. I know he is (was?) up in the Santa Cruz mountains of California. Maybe our epoxy floors and Harbor Freight cabinets just weren't to his liking? Anyone know?

I don't know where he went, but his garage was inspiring:

Here is an old article from Hemmings showing some more pics:

He was more of a regular on the HAMB board, but I just checked and he hasn't been on there since January.

Anyone on the site know him? Maybe they can contact him for an every-5-years update; see what he's working on!

Thanks for sharing that! He sure is a man of many talents. Hopefully he is just busy on some other projects or something.

I hope all is well, his garage is out of this world and definitely one of the coolest I've ever seen (here or elsewhere). What a setup!

Nimrod is doing fine. His new hot rod shop is keeping him busy, see website here:

Excellent info, thanks. Glad he's doing well but I sure wish he'd drop into GJ from time to time.

Like most everyone else, I love that shop. Glad to see the blog for his business; looks like some great projects going on!

I must be missing something here-

Nimrod signed his posts, "Jeff"- I don't see the name Jeff associated anywhere with Seabright Hotrods(?)
Sure you're talking the same dude?

I don't know but I like the rods anyway.

You know, the thing with Nimrod's garage is that even if I had all the old stuff he had and a stack of old wood to build it...I just don't have the talent, taste, "eye" to make it look anywhere as friggin COOL as he did.
