How did you get into cars: I would have to say it was when i was in about 12 when my moms car broke down and she kept my brother and me home from school to fix it. With my dad on the phone telling us what to do we replaced the fuel pump. That was when it started and i haven't put down the wrench since then. I now do it for a living and to fund my addiction.

Who or What motivates you to keep improving your car: I would have to say that my love for cars keeps me motivated. That and the fact that I love feeling you get when you pass someone and you catch them checking your car out.

Short story about car: I was driving a 89 5.0 vert that the wife hated. So i got the idea to by a 4cyl car and swap the engine. I found this car in Texas, it was in pretty rough shape. It was 3 colors and had been on fire at one point but it ran. So In Oct '07 my parents bought me this car as a gift for my 10 year remission from cancer. As soon as i got it i started taking it apart, It took me 4 months to do the swap then i drove it while i saved money to paint it. Over the past 3 years I have gotten it closer to being finished but I dont think it will ever be truly finished.
