THIS SITE AND ALL OF MY GARAGE IS DEDICATED TO MY FATHER. MY DAD WAS ONE OF MY VERY BEST FRIENDS AND WE WORKED VERY HARD ON ALL 3 OF MY VEHICLES. HIS PASSING WAS VERY SUDDEN AND HAS BEEN VERY HARD FOR ME AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY. SO PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT AND LEAVE A COMMENT.

  UPDATE June 12/09: More new stuff, Autofab Race Cars has built me a one-off pair of Lower Control Arms, I have new Double Adjustable QA1 Coilovers for the Front and I added a custom front spoiler. I have just installed the Detroit Speed & Engineering Splined Sway Bar Kit, it is an awesome kit that uses Nascar parts for street cars. I also just added a new MSD Digital 6-plus box with the HVC Coil. I got my Wilwood 6-Piston Calipers w/13" 2-peice Rotors installed, I got the Professional Products Single Plane intake installed. The Sweet 12:1 Steering Box is in but I am not too happy with, I added 2 New Spal fans with a new shroud and an Edelbrock Water Pump. Comp Cams Beehive Springs with Stainless Steel Roller Rockers, and I changed out my Holley Black Pump for a 160gph Edelbrock Pump & an Aeromotive Filter. I swapped out my M100(could not take the 2.6 ohms) for a MPS 2500 Phoenix Gold amp and added a new 220amp Alternator. I also took a bunch of parts from the Chevelle and upgraded the S10 so I will post new pics of both vehicles whe they are done. I also have to get the motor tuned with the new intake and get the brakes bedded properly. I will update as things get done.

1969 Chevelle :Pro Touring

This is my 1969 Chevelle that started out as a 6cyl/2spd no optioned car. It was my $800.00 winter beater for 6 years so it was in very rough shape. This is the first car that I purchased, in 1989. I have done most of the work myself with help from Dad & friends. The car now has a 355 roller motor,350 turbo,12 bolt w/ 4whl discs & 17" Eagle Alloys(Will soon be 18s & 20s). The car handles awesome with Circle track parts, the new motor is very strong. There is a DVD/Nav system, Full Stereo and custom Interior. It took 9 years to get the car together and painted, but it was not finished. Every winter I add more to the car that I could not afford the first time around. I have added just about everything power option there is. The car has won numerous awards at car & sound shows.

 Here is a brand new pic of the new lower ride height with all of my new Suspension parts installed, it is quite low.  Drivetrain is a 355 - Dart Pro 1s, Comp Solid Roller/350 turbo - 3000 stall w/12 bolt 3:73 posi. Fully adjustable Race Suspension, one off interior.

Future plans: Fuel Injection, Larger Wheels(18s & 20s)Done, Air Conditioning(DONE), Wilwood 6-piston(DONE), Tubular Front A-Arms(DONE), T56 or 480LE Overdrive(haven't decided)  a DVD player(DONE), and HID headlights(DONE).

 This is our Local Autorama, I had my Chevelle and my Dad's S10. We did this for him, I do not do many shows anymore but this one was nice to get both out together.

    These are from our Local Auto Show, I took the S10 and my Chevelle. Unfortunately where the Truck was parked I could not get any good pics. There is still lots to do but this is the earliest I have had my car running is a few years.

      This is our Sunday Night Cruise Night, we get a large turn out on sunny days. We have had as many as 600 cars.                            

 
The door handles, marker lights, bumper bolts, trunk lock, firewall & the inner wheelwells have been shaved. Just about everything on the body has been replaced. The doors, roof and the firewall are the only original panels left. Most of the panels are southern US or new. The fibreglass hood is a 4" Outlaw Cowl from Harwood. The front & rear bumpers have been fully customized by me. The paint is GM Med. Saphire Blue.

All of the grill & trim are new and painted body colour. The bumper has 2 Driving lights sunk into it. The stock signals have been moved. Aluminum mesh now covers the openings. The signals have been moved to the lower edge of the bumper and LED 1157 Bulbs, you can see them in the one pic. I also added new Clear Glass Headlights with H4 w/full HID conversion. There is also a new Polished Oil cooler mounted in front of the rad w/ A/N & braided lines. The car is lowered 3" and has a 1 1/4" sway bar on the front w/QA1 Coilovers and Fully Adjustable Control arms. All of the Suspension is Heim Ends except the Ball Joints which at the Nascar Low Friction versions and all bushings are Polyurethane from Energy Suspension.

I finally got around to customizing the rear bumper. I recessed the SS Chrome Tips up into the bumper and shaved the bumper bolts. It really cleans up the back of the car. The rear has a third brake light recessed into the rear panel. The rear talights are now full LEDs, and 1156 LEDS for the backup lights. The gas tank has a sump and is baffeled to control the gas and keep it in the sump. The A-N braided hose feeds the Russell filter, Holley Black pump and there is a full return system to keep the pump and the fuel cooler. There are 3" lowering coils w/fully adjustable height screws. The Control Arms(uppers & lowers) are also Double Adjustable w/ QA1 heim ends and a 1" sway bar w/custom mounts and QA1 adjustable shocks. All bushings & body mounts are Polyurethane from Energy Suspension.

The rear view shows the new bumper. The Exhaust tips have been recessed into the bumper for a cleaner look. The trunk lock has been shaved also. The new LED tailights are very bright and quick to react to the brake pedal.

This is my Dads S10 that we have built from the ground up. We just got it out to take some pics. April 29/04

Eagle Alloy Series 212 17x8 w/245/40/17 Kuhmos on the front. The Front brakes are Wilwood 13" Drilled 2-peice Rotors and 6-Piston Calipers with Braided Flex Lines. Eagle Alloys Series 212 17x8 w/285/40/17 Goodyear GSCs on the rear. Rear rotors are also cross drilled with performance pads.

These are some pics of both my Chevelle and Nova.

This is my garage where I have built both of my cars. The tent behind the cars is where my Dads truck stays.

This is a Second gear burnout just around the corner from my house. I had to let off as the cross road is not that far. The new motor is working awesome and I will get some shots of the car soon. My Dad was right behind me in his S10, so I walked back to get the pic.(25-07-04)

Don't forget to sign my guestbook or to check out my 69 Nova. Now in my Garage.
And our 1984 S10. Full custom with 350, 9" rear, 4 whl discs, bags, 17s, custom body mods and paint. Now in my Garage. My 11 year old is now calling the shots on this one.
