Set inside the old Fayette General Store, you can’t miss the old buggy attached to the roof. It’s kind of an eye-catcher.
Tin signs adorn the outside along with an old gas pump. All of the neat vintage touches on the outside don’t set you up for what to expect when you walk in.
Bob Peltz tore his first classic car apart forty years ago. Twenty years later he got it put together–and he’s been taking things apart and fixing them up ever since.
This Mr. Fix-It specializes in pieces before 1975. While this may not seem like your typical Indiana attraction, for those of you have never been here (especially those of you who need this type of service) you are in for a real surprise.

At Big Boys Toys and Restoration, there is lots of stuff. Shelves of stuff. You will find stuff of all kinds, in all sizes, and in all colors. It is amazing.
From giant old tube type jukeboxes torn apart and receiving needed repair to old slot machines, there is a whole building here full of things for sale in this Central Indiana shop.
There are those old penny scales and bowling machines–and loads of vintage jukeboxes. Who knew that there were so many different styles and sizes?
Poking around this Zionsville-area fix it shop is like stepping back in time. Shelves of antique cash registers sat among the old penny scales that are way past their fortune-telling days. But not for long.
Pick out one of these treasures and Bob Peltz will not only dust it off, he’ll restore to as good as new condition (or darn near close). It is amazing to walk the rows of items. Where did they come from? Who did they belong to? Why are they here now? You know that some of these things had to have been in old diners and cafes. Once upon a time, they were new and exciting, well-used and much loved.
Now, here they sit. Waiting for someone else to come along and take an interest in them. Will it be you?
