ha ha oops I guess I went a little too far. Some pics of the Fiero V8 install kit I scratch built didn't post. It would be a wh*** lotta fun to fabricate auto parts for a living. There are no opportunities to do that where I live. I use to design machinery for Sugar Cane combines For John Deere in Thibodaux LA. Now all the other manifacturers have closed thier factories for good. It just killes me, I have all this talent and it's being wasted here. I can design and fabricate anything.

My little projects. This is the belt drive I designed on cad in 3D cut, machined, welded, and polished myself. This is my hand made cluster.I can design and build anything. I worked for years as a mechanical designer in the R&D department of John Deere Thibodaux. I worked as a welder fitter and  pro mechanic before I began my design carreer.

I have been spinning wrenches now for 20+ yrs, I have build anything from my hotrod tractor to full race alchohol engines. I also specialize in transmissions.  throughout my career I have built an engine and tranny for a 83 s-10 prostreet truck. I customized a 2000 montecarlo prostreet with twin turbo's.Thats just a few to start, there are hundreds of engines and transmissions for all types of vehicles that I have rebuild. Everything from mild to WILD!  I also do body paint and fabrication. I am a jack of all trades, what I don't know already I learn fast.

I would love the chance to have this position, as would most . I feel Im well qualified and hope I am the guy you's are looking for.

I was watching the show this weekend and seen the advertisement for the possible job opportunities, and it was practically a dream come true! In the following email, I have attatched my resume, along with a few photos of what I have worked on (not very many due to financial reasons). I would absolutely love to be a part of the PowerBlockTV team, and I would be an excellent attribute to the team!

I have attached photos of removing and replacing a transfer case on my 1993 Toyota Pickup, and inspecting my front differential.

Reason why I had replaced my transfer case; my four-wheel drive wasn't working properly. My instructors at WyoTech (Laramie, WY) had test drove it and was almost certain my transfer was going out because it had a large clunk noise when four-wheel drive was engaged, and you could feel it inside the cab. I purchased the new/used transfer case, took out the old and realized the new/used transfer case I had purchased was a "top shift" type, and mine was a "forward shift" type of transfer case. I then took the transfer cases to school the next day and overhauled the new/used transfer case, as well as swapping the shift forks, making it the forward shift compatable for my truck. I would have furthured my photos but I could not take a camera into the building. I completed the overhaul process the day I brought it into the shop, and installed the transfer case shortly after. The transfer case worked of course but, that wasn't the problem. I should have checked my front differential...

I pulled the cover off of my front differential, not sure if you can see clearly, and noticed that my ring and pinion gear needs to be replaced. Photographs of this process has also been attatched in this email. I am working on getting a job so I can get my four-wheel drive repaired, which I have bigger plans for. Since it is an IFS, I have my mind on doing a straight axle swap (SAS) since I would replace the entire front differential anyways instead of just replacing the ring and pinon gear (much easier).

I will be looking forward to hearing from you, as well as a possible interview for more information on my work and education experience. Please, give me a call as soon as possible for further information and we can schedule an interview.

Anyone heard anything yet? I sent in audition tape haven't heard back. I might not be what they are looking for. Good luck to every body.

I have been wanting to live the life of the powerblock guys since I first started watching the shows as a kid. They are always filled with great information and inspire me to get out there and do it myself and I learn a lot in the process. I can mig, arc, and tig weld, cut, fabricate, and do some body work if needed. I am always the go-to-guy when it comes to my friends projects and i'm always eager to help, anything from custom lawnmowers, mud trucks, to 8 second turbo mustangs, I can do it all.

I have had multiple Mustangs that I have modified in different ways. I got hooked on mustangs when I got a 2001 V6 5-speed car I modified to keep up with the GT's. I built up a 1985 GT t-top car with full koni coil-overs, tubular k-member, and cobra brakes to handle the twisties!! The car also recieved AFR heads and a solid roller cam which made it run with the high dollar cars!! The last one I fully built the engine, ported my own heads, pressed the pistons on the rods, wired, and assembled. The car went on to run 12.7's all natural on a budget!!

I had to sell my project car to pay for school in Texas which is where I am at now. I recently graduated from Hennessey Performance's "Tuner School" which is great! I got to be around some very cool people and very cool vehicles and I really dont want it to stop ever!! I feel like i'm at home when i'm there and I don't see how it can ever be considered work when it's that much fun. I have been working at an Oreilly auto parts for over a year now and i'm ready to move on to the high-performance industry. This is my passion and I am ready for it. I am job searching at the moment but this is my ultimate choice so please pick me to be the next big wrench!!!!!!
