The Wreck That Saved My Life
Years ago, I sold off all my project cars to start a family.
On December 12, 2007, God spared my life in a horrible car wreck. I thank God for every breath and for every day!
This was my 2001 Camaro after someone pulled out in front of me on my way to work. The wreck broke my neck.
I know in my heart that God is the ONLY reason I made it through that wreck and I pray that I honor him in everything I do. I have met so many wonderful people because all this!
Right before the accident, I had tracked down one of my old Trans-Ams, a '77 Buccaneer Red hardtop, in order to restore it for my youngest son, Mason.
While I was recovering from the wreck, I met another car builder who inspired me to get better. He and his wife are wonderful people and they have become very good and valued friends of our family. God does work in mysterious ways.
Read "A Bird in the Hand...Our Story" to see how it all began.
We decided to take you along on one of our restoration journey. If you visit the "Eleanor" section you can see our '77 Trans-Am Project from the beginning to present day.
I would like thank Kris Huen a.k.a. "MotorCityThreads" for designing the Chasers logo.
Kris and I had met on a racing forum and soon became friends with several common interest. We are both Christians, Artist, and Enthusiast.
After some discussion and seeing what kind of artwork Kris produced, I knew he was the man for the job for the Chasers logo design.

What's in a Name?
The name Screamin’ Chicken Chasers © comes from the pursuit of a dream…the dream to find my long lost '77 Red Trans-Am and to own another '73 Trans-Am.
I was born in 1973, the year that the "Screamin' Chicken" debuted as a full hood graphic thanks to John Schinella.
When I was 16 years old I bought a project '73 Trans-Am. Unfortunately, due to some title issues I had to return the car to its owner. After I returned the car, I purchased a very solid '76 Trans-Am and drove it for several years.
Ever since that day I returned that car I have "chased" a '73. My other love is a '77 Trans-Am, which I purchased many years after I sold the '76.
I moved and sold the '77 and a little over a decade later I relocated that car in an effort to restore it for my son, Mason. Once I got the car back I decided to help other enthusiasts along our restoration journey. The result..."Screamin' Chicken Chasers" was born. Shortened later to "Chasers".
Special Thanks!
