Henry Schmidt (Supertec) built a 3.0 hot rod motor and installed it for me in my '74 Targa around 2003. I found out that I lost my job a few weeks before I drove out to pick it up...so it was not a good time for me (I had commissioned the job earlier while employed). Henry swapped the engine in for me (replaced a 2.7) and did various small repairs and worked late to get me out and on the road that night so I would not need a hotel. He had me test drive it down the PCH with the top off...and his team stayed late to do final tweaks and get me on the road. It was one of the best moments of my life and made the world/everything better. Took my wife and flew back to pick up my '89 Targa from a fellow Pelican and did the same drive on a sunny day (but stayed in a nice hotel)...then drove it back home the next day. Good times.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
