The tired, old motor would barely pull the car into the garage so that was my first concern, along with getting the interior re-upholstered. A friend of mine, Kirk Stewart, built another 283 with some improvement to the heads and added a slightly racey hydraulic cam. Another friend, Max Ford stitched the interior for me. The rest of the story can be seen, along with pictures, by visiting my Hobby page. Don't know if I'll ever get to these.
Life is just too short for a car nut.
My wife, Jeri, is really into cooking and has completely remodeled our kitchen. All new cabinets and appliances complete with a double oven setup. I have, for most of those years provided entertainment television services for the students. Being around the kids has kept me young at heart, if not in years. This is probably why I am still interested in street rodding and customs but you may notice that I still have old-fashioned ideas when it comes to building cars.
