• Wealth and Income Sources: Mike Hall, the main figure in "Rust Valley Restorers," has an estimated net worth of over $5 million, primarily from his construction business, Chimera Springs Rock Works, rather than TV earnings or car restoration profits.
• First Business and Local Fame: Hall’s business in rock landscaping has been active since the 1970s, earning him local fame and the nickname "Rasta Blasta" after performing a notable rescue of a mountain goat in 2008.
• Car Collection Origins: His love for old cars began in Kamloops, leading to a massive collection of over 150 cars stored on his 26-acre property in Tappen, British Columbia, dubbed his "field of dreams."
• Rust Valley Restorers: Inspired by his love for car restoration and a TV production idea, Hall founded Rust Bros Restorations to restore and sell his collection, though the show’s demands have limited profitability.
• Recent Changes in Collection: From 2021 to 2023, he downsized his collection significantly but quickly grew it back to 100 cars, as he plans to continue restoring cars for future "Rust Valley Restorers" seasons.
