Steve Hack has been dabbling with performance cars for all of his adult life. Immediately following high school he fell into the Mustang clique, soon he learned the way of the Corvette and purchased a 1975 model. He managed to resist the temptation of aftermarket modifications in lieu of keeping the car all factory; who would know that this would one day be his specialty. The itch was growing and before anyone knew he added another garage to store his collection of Corvettes.

He loved repairing and restoring his cars so much he determined to tackle it full time and turn his hobby into a profession, the birth of Eastern Corvettes. A slow start would eventually erupt into a steady business that kept growing. While he never attempted body work or internal engine repairs he found his place with smaller more intricate pieces. He is well known for his abilities on originality in restoration of gauges, headlight motors, wiper motors, radios, glove boxes, and many other Corvette systems.

As the years have passed the only thing lost is his ability to "dive" under a dash and "spring" back to his feet, age has its affects. Eastern Corvettes is more than a job for Steve it is a separate world where perfection is the key, and he is well sought after for his practices.

His accomplishments speak for themselves:

Mike Hack's story differs from that of his father. While being a part time employee of Eastern Corvettes since age 16 his hobby was car audio. Mike learned that car audio was a great place to learn the simplicities of the 12 volt world, and make some noise. By the time Mike was 17 he was working for a top Cincinnati car audio shop installing custom audio and security.

An annoying hobby to most turned profitable for Mike as he learned to love the technical side of security and custom fabrication. Before he was 21 he had placed in many local events including a best in class at the Cincinnati Cavalcade of Customs. Mikes personal cars were always borderline insane, but not to compare with the customer cars he was creating. At age 25 Mike said it was time to move on and join the family business full time.

Mikes first Corvette show was Bloomington Gold 1978 (3 months before his birth)! Like he had any chance doing anything else.
