I think he started out as a machinist for Stage 5. I know he had those heads on his Dart. His Dart was in a Mopar Action Tech Edition back in the late 90's. It was an original 273 HP car. I think. He's been around, an asset to the community for a long time.

He's one of those guys that despite never meeting him and only seeing on TV shows, you still feel like you know him well like a friend.

that's the way he strikes me as well.

"Everything is mold around here"

Very telling IMO.

mold is something we should all be very careful being around.
it can cause many different kinds of ailments, some deadly.

I made the comment because I had a friend a decade back pass away from fungi encephalitis, which they discovered way too late, as the treatment is much different from bacterial or viral.

I did meet Steve once...at the Mopar display setup at the Woodward Cruise.
That was probably close to 20 years ago. Super nice down to earth guy. Just a regular car person is how
he strikes me. No ego whatsoever. I wish him well 🙏

I met him at Carlisle one year when he was doing Mopar trivia at the factory display. Nice guy.

that was when I met him also.

I wondered about something biting or stinging him on his yard escapades

Glad he's doing better!

He's talking about a brand X car, but it's good to see him 'working' again.

Older video, there’s a newer one featuring the new owner..

Post it.

This one is marked as 3 days old.

steve looks pretty good, considering what he went through. [that was the first i saw that video] really glad he is on the way to a good recovery.
as a former junkyard owner, [1972-1984/85] it's really odd, looking back now, that i didn't contract anything.
i never used any repellent of any kind, and the only "safety" measure my partner and i used semi-religiously, was bee spray, just so we didn't get stung. as most know, bees just LOVE to set up housekeeping in cars that sit still for any length of time.
thanks for posting that video about steve.

A junkyard i used to visit years age had tons of them. It was in the middle of the woods and had bees nest's in a lot of the cars. If you stood still and just looked around you could see them making trips back and forth. Had to see where they are before opening a hood and get big surprise! It will test your skills running in a junk yard.
