Default Old Mustangs and Vintage Late Models

Hello, everyone, I am a lifelong car guy who has been involved in the profession / sport since the early 70's. I worked in dealerships and private garages as a kid and eventually owned my own engine machine shop in the Midwest adjacent to Rt. 66 before selling and moving to the south to pursue a 23 year career in NASCAR as everything from a machinist to engine builder before developing my skills as a CNC Programmer / Operator back in the mid to late 1990's where I mostly made cylinder heads and intake manifolds for NASCAR teams. Since 2011 I have worked in the medical implant and aircraft fields as well as spending a few months in the Middle East helping to set up a shop for a sheik to make his version of racing parts. I have recently retired, for the most part, and looking forward to a few street and racing projects I have been hoarding parts for and wanting to get everything screwed together so I can enjoy playing with my homebuilt cars. Looking forward to soaking up some of the knowledge your metal shapers are willing to share.

Great work history, Steve.
