Default Haven't posted in a long while....so...figured I'd throw somethin up

After many years, in late 2009 I closed my shop. Since then I've been more of a lurker than anything. In mid 2010 I ended up partnering with another company and now am the head of operations with more of a silent partner.

As we got our new facility up and running I decided to spread out and be much more diverse with this effort, so my Honda days are numbered for sure. Here's some pics of some things I've built and the things we're working on these days.

Scion TC build...not quite done yet, but getting there. DP and dump going to get coated as they are done in mild. Still cuttin my collectors on my trusty hf bandsaw...haha.

















My brother who works for me here...haha

i never really got my company started. i shut down my towing operation back on 07/ worked retail since. i just got a cushy job as fleet manager for a city health department. office position. i def want to put in 30 years here. but sometimes i still want to get the shop up and runnig. but i doubt id profit as much as they are paying me here.

Factory Five based cars that we modify pretty extensively. We sell them as turnkey platforms for 75-125k.

I'm now working on a full tube chassis project for SEMA that I'll be taking. Should be pretty interesting. Some ideas I've had for about 5 years all brought together as one. As soon as I leave SEMA I wanna go back...damn Vegas. I do whatever I gotta do just to get into those afterparties man...

Yeah, I've gotten to play with some various things. A real departure from my all Honda dedicated shop 1.5 years ago...lol.

Allow me to show off a tad....haha. Dont' ever let anyone tell you bein a Honda builder can't pay off...haha.





Drove the Lexus LFA preproduction prototype back in September...had it up to 140mph on the back straight...got the gopro video. Only 1 of 34 non toyota employees to ever drive the LFA on a racetrack







My two hotties at SEMA

I don't really want to take away from either...they were both cuties and great girls to be around. I hope to grab them up for SEMA next year as well....I just wish Lauren would be 21 already...sheesh.

I must say though, if I posted this one pic of Ashley on the right...man...she does this look for pics that is...whew...hot. She's a more experienced model is all...she sells it.
