I've had a couple folks asking why I haven't been active on forums lately, and wondering what's up, so I thought I'd let you know what I've been doing the last few months.
1) Incorporated my company and made slight name change now Schwartz Performance Inc.
2) 8 complete car, 4 chassis and 10 engine projects in process now. Several LS7 and twin turbo.
3) Wife filed for divorce.
4) Did a complete 65 Pontiac Tempest car project in short time frame for customer to drive on Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour.
5) I've added 3 addition staff members and have trained them appropriately.
6) Just leased a new building for the Schwartz Performance Inc shop, will be organized and completely moved in by Aug 1st. New address and phone will be on the website soon. (Approx 10 miles up US 14 in Woodstock IL.)
The new shop is more than double our previous square footage.
7) A fairly busy show schedule as shown on our website.
In a nutshell all is well, we're crazy busy.
Now we have additional staff and soon a larger facility to meet current and future business needs.
Thanks
Jeff

Wow everything sounds good for you Jeff other than #4. Hope that doesn't interfere with the business. Any G-body projects?

Here's a pic of the new place. We now have 7200 sq ft. It's 10 miles nw on US14 from the old place in Crystal Lake
The inside needs a week or two more of organizing before I can show you that. LOL.
Thanks.

Glad you are doing well and businessis good enough to need a bigger shop and more people. That's great! Also glad to see you still have the Corvette. Your shop is on my "shop tour" vacation fantasy. I want to tour the country and see all of the shops on the forums. Maybe some day?
