WHY DID YOU START E-MUSCLE?

"I have had an undying passion for muscle cars since a very early age.  My zest for taking something in a terrible shape and making it a beautiful work of art and a total beauty is part of what drives me.  When I saw what this industry was lacking, I sought to step the game up and started E-Muscle as a way for me to strive for perfection in the restoration of these cars.  Now, I feel truly fulfilled, and we are growing at an enormous rate"

WHAT IS THE CRAZIEST THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE IN A MUSCLE CAR?

"I got into a race with a Chevelle SS on Rt. 5.  But forgot to secure the fiberglass flip up hood on my 56 Chevy.  Well underway, I looked up to find my hood floating into the air past the windshield view.  I had to stick my head out the window to steer and carefully slow down as to not flip the hood off the  front of the car.  Note to self:  Bolt down your body parts.  "
