A couple people have asked what i've been doing.
I'm now working on and building cars in a small shop in Crystal Lake IL. Currently working on several things:
1) A wicked G machine Spirit AMX we call "Evil Spirit". 600HP, Wilwoods, 17x9.5's, Full cage, 3 link, Fuel Cell, etc. Paint and major fab is done, doing wiring, detail and assy now. Count on this one entering Car Craft RSE in 05.
2) Installed an updated BBC in Keith Wagners (on the Current Cover of Super Chevy) G Machine 70 Chevelle Friday and Sat. The thing now puts out 737hp and 788 lb ft, absolutely sick.
3) Building a stroked 401 AMC for another Spirit AMX autocross car.
4) Trying to finish Y Gen 3rd Gen, Finished machining the 13.5 x 1 5/16 front rotors, started installing front suspension tonight.
5) Installing a 9" Rearend, brake system, fuel system in a 472 powered 56 cad in a couple weeks.

Now that I think of it, I should probably post some of these projects on there.
Thanks
Jeff

Damn, you have been busy. It was great meeting you at the SEMA dinner. If I ever make it to the Chicago area to visit my family, I'll try and look you up. And I really want to see pics of that AMX!!!!

Jeff,

Being that your one of the only people around here with an aftermarket supercar I was wondering what your thoughts were about Factory 5's new production supercar they are working on? Do you think it will be comprable to the GTR?

Jeff,
Good luck with the biz. I'm sure you'll do great considering your ability to attract magazine exposure. Evil Spirit huh? Be sure to post pix if you can.

Good to hear about all your projects. I'm betting they will all turn out just as you envision. Got any pics?

Yea, I got a buddy whos got a Amx. I just spent 700 miles on the road last Saturday swapping his white one with his dads restored red one.It was a long day.He wants big brakes on it so some info on the brake setup would be really nice of you.Nice projects by the way .I always did think that caddy of yours was a killer piece of work.
