He's selling his degree kits through Xenocron now, whether he's actually making them or not I don't know.

Its a shame he's not around anymore. He always had go info to share/discuss.

He gets on here from time to time. I don't recall what he is doing now though either.

He's definitely still heavy into the auto business.

He still makes all of the cam kits, does tranny work, heads, other services etc.

I know he does a lot of 4x4 (off roading) stuff now...but he is building a B17 now for one of his cars, I think to make a nice technical write-up for various aspects of the build.

Chad is searching for "Paradise Lost"......

Throw Tekken into the mix as well as B18BTurbo (not all motor) but definitely part of the now past "golden age" of H-T.
