He's been around since the '80s or even longer.

The stinger 609 engine spawned from what's left of the castings he had from his Chrysler Viper V10 engine.

I remember the V10 pencil sharpener. $250k. Yeah I don't think so.

Sad story about what happened at the foundry. He used to advertise the 427 in RCCA during the 90's. Personally I liked the look of the 427 better as the 609 is pretty modern looking. Regardless he is still an extremely skilled craftsman.
