Engineering, Engineering, Engineering... my first 15 years was spent designing and testing aftermarket gauges for NASCAR, NHRA, Pro Steet and Hot Rodders in general along with developing fuel systems for ATVs and Personal Watercraft. I briefly dabbled in OEM instrument cluster design and fuel systems for VW & GM but liked the aftermarket side better.
Currently @ 14 years with an Engineered Seal company. We sell just about every type of seal for any type of industry and provide our customers with custom seal designs solutions and/or design suggestions for the mating seal grooves. We also provide design support and components in plastic injection molding, stamped metals, CNC and screw machine technologies.
Interesting note for me personally: I owned my first EB (1976, 302, 3 speed on the column) in 1986 just as I was entering my professional career (was what I drove to work day 1). I did some things to my '76 but what a difference as compared to what I've done to my current '74 because of what I've learned and my increased knowledge & skill level since way back then. Wish I had my '76 back too. But I've had a boat load of Ford's in between - mostly '78 & '79 F150s and Broncos.
