About me and my passion for cars

Go too " My Albums" , to see my Passion for Cars, and tell me what you think? Coming soon Winter 08' Project's album.

Flywheel's automotive passion for cars started early at age 8
I found myself behind the wheel of a Silver 64' Pontiac
Tempest with a cool drop top and red interior , my dad worked
the pedels and I got to steer. As time went on my
interest in cars grew . Armed with the desire to unravle the mystries of the internal combustion engine! by age 14 Tore down and reassembled frist automatic transmission , a Chrysler 727,
with a street/strip upgrade from B&M. Slapped it in a Mopar
and went a cruis'in. By age 16 owned a 68 Fastback Barracuda,
drove it for the summer and tore her down replaced the K-Frame
to except Big Block, Trans upgraded to Fairbank Race Trans
and 4.30's out back, Man O Man ,Winners Circle here I come.
Cleaned House with that bad boy ! Started to build Fast
Street cars thur high school and racing on the week-ends
down at my old hometown track Maryland International Raceway
after high school went too community college took Drafting,
English, advanced Math & Theater , stage design , Lighting,
Building stage prop's, and working at nite to make ends meet

However the car passion began to over come all else that
I was doing. So I made a Leap of Faith and enrolled into
a Automotive Techincal School in Washington D.C. That's my
real HOME TOWN where I was born. I Graduated in the Top 10
of my class. Once that Sheep Skin was in my hand put
it to work right away. Marketing My Talent's to a local
Transmission Shop. At Frist started with one bay, given
second bay , then a third bay ,finally they could keep me busy.
After a few years in the trans biz,expanded to Electrical Shop
that did transmissions too . So I was Troubleshooting
electrical systems on most cars, trucks, vans, and some
emergency vehicle's, Using the shop after hours to build more
fast cars. Moved to Southern Maryland and Signed on at a
Chrysler Dealership in the 90's . At frist was a Service Advisor
keeping a positive cash flow coming into dealerships service side
Then to acting parts manager on occasions, then after trouble-
shooting some of the other tech's come back's Chrysler placed
me in the shop as Head Tech and Head Troubleshooter Tech.
After making them a few wheel barrows of positive cash flow,
I picked up my stakes and headed North away from the
daily commute of thousands to just a few cars once in a while
and people who still wave at a passing car , they don't know who you are? there just down right friendly ! guess that why I'm
still here today . I have established myself in this part of the
country as a top certified automotive Techincan with 32 yrs exper. in the automotive industry . currrently self employed
shaving classic cars from Crusher and returning to
them to their former glory , No Sponsors just One Talented
Gear Head , trying to do his part to save some of the Classic's
Cars that were heading to the boneyard, to be Crushed.
