01. The Service Record

Precision isn’t a suggestion; it’s a standard. By day, I serve in the United States Air Force, maintaining a culture of discipline and technical accuracy. By night, I apply those same "Flight Line" principles to the "Finish Line." Broke Not Broken (BNB) was forged in the gap between a tight budget and an uncompromising vision. We don't wait for a bigger paycheck to start the build; we use what we have to resurrect what others threw away.

02. The "Capable" Directive

The BNB philosophy is simple: Budget is a constraint. Quality is a choice. To be "Broke" is a temporary financial state—a common variable in any build. To be "Broken" is a mindset where you stop learning and start quitting. Whether it’s troubleshooting a harness, 3D printing a custom bracket on the Kobra S1, or leveling up in a simulation, the objective remains the same: Stay Capable.

03. Mission Support (Home Base)

Behind every late-night wrench session is a high-functioning Command Center. My wife, Jessica, and our three children are the core logistics team, supported by a "zoo" consisting of two dogs, two cats, and a snake. When the tools are put away, the focus shifts to family and gaming—the essential recharge before the next teardown.

04. The Primary Objective: Phase 01 Acquisition

Every item in this shop serves a dual purpose: providing you with shop-ready gear and funding the Project: Resurrected Heart donor engine. Our current target is $1,500.00 Net Profit to acquire a Cobalt SS or Saturn Ion LSJ donor platform. 75% of net profit from gear (and 100% from stickers) is locked in the Project Vault for this initial procurement.

05. The Sustainment Directive: Phase 02 & Beyond

Acquiring the donor is just the "In-Service" date. Once the LSJ platform is secured, the mission shifts from Acquisition to Reconstruction & Sustainment.

Your support doesn't stop at the purchase price of the junk car. It continues to fund the technical lifecycle of the build, including:

• Component Overhaul: Gaskets, timing sets, and high-tolerance internal hardware.

• Custom Integration: 3D-printed brackets, wiring harness conversions, and bespoke "Fiero-to-LSJ" fitment solutions.

• Field Testing: Dyno tuning, track fees, and the inevitable "Search & Rescue" missions for that one 10mm socket that went AWOL.

The goal isn't just to buy a engine; it’s to build a benchmark. We don't just "fix" things—we resurrect them for the long haul.
