Private Technical Resource
For the Serious
Collector.

Worthwhile dreams deserve the right support. A private retainer relationship — for those building or restoring vehicles that have their own standards, held long before the project began. Race-proven expertise and Tier-1 engineering capability, on call for the questions that matter most. Every decision made correctly, the first time.

When the part no longer exists, it can be engineered and manufactured to correct specification. When the machinist's proposal needs reviewing, there is someone to ask who will give a definitive answer — not forum consensus, not an educated guess. A small number of clients at any one time.

01

Technical Decisions

Every specification, component choice, and rebuild proposal reviewed against factory engineering data and race-level standards — before you commit.

02

Supplier & Machinist Guidance

Direct assessment of who to trust — and why — across a network built over 25+ years in professional motorsport and OEM Tier-1 manufacturing.

03

Unobtainium

When the part no longer exists, it can be engineered and manufactured to correct specification. The dream does not stall for lack of a component.

04

Eyes on your parts

Sometimes it's best when someone comes to see what is really going on, whether at the restoration shop, a supplier or in the collection hall. Decisions can be made quickly and accurately by someone who is looking out for your best interests.

Selected Outcomes
Results That
Speak Directly.

Every outcome below is drawn from direct program involvement — not advisory observation. These are the results of someone who was in the room, running the program, and accountable for the outcome.

Del West Engineering / C8 Corvette

$8M Tier-1 manufacturing line built from concept to volume production in 18 months — $2M under budget, first-time-right.

AI / Predictive Test Modeling — MS Azure

Deep learning models deployed 2017–2018 — 20%+ reduction in required test cycles, extending hardware life and cutting program cost years ahead of industry adoption.

Honda Performance Development

Indianapolis 500-winning power unit — led Top End package development across multiple race victories from 2014 to 2018.

NASCAR / IndyCar / F1 Coatings Supplier

New coating formulations developed to meet elevated OEM performance requirements — enabled new Tier-1 account wins for the client.

Boutique Porsche Restomod

Engineering org restructure — built team cohesion around customer requirements and management communication frameworks that worked.

Tokyo — Cross-Cultural Business Coaching

Leadership & AI.

Two white papers on the practical deployment of AI tools in specialized engineering organizations — written from direct program experience, not theory.

White Paper · May 2026
Augmentation or
Replacement

A framework for AI deployment decisions in specialized engineering organizations. Why the layoff playbook from commodity services does not apply to capability-constrained engineering — and what does. The decision about which AI tools to adopt is the same decision as how you allocate your senior engineering hours.

Full Capacity

A practitioner's guide to AI tools that multiply mechanical engineering output. How specialized engineering organizations can deploy AI to move engineers off low-level tasks, improve retention, and build more technical depth — without changing headcount. Between 30 and 50 percent of senior engineer hours are spent on tasks that could be handled at a lower level or eliminated entirely.
