Wow, I get an Email update on this thread so I check it out. I noticed I made my post in 2003:eek2: Thread revival FTW. So, I figured I'd update my "What do you do for a living?" since things have changed. In my original post I said I wanted to start a speed and performance shop but money was non existent. Well, all I really had to do was sign away my life with the bankers and the money WAS available. lol. So, that's what I did. I opened Overkill Street Performance and Racing in Feb of '08. We specialize in making ANYTHING streetable(with an eye towards forced induction). My 464 Buick powered Nova runs low 9's/hi 8's and runs on pump gas with a hydraulic streetable cam and a bit of NO2. Car is tube framed and fiberglass a flyin' 2819lbs with me in it. I use it as a tool to show my customers that if I drive this thing on the street(alot) then your more normal car is a piece of cake.lol. As much as I work my butt off and seem to never leave the shop on time, I love what I do. PS: If any Buick brethren want to look up Overkill Street Performance on facebook, check us out and if you want give me a call. I LOVE making fast cars and a Buick powered one is like icing on the cake.
