Behind the Scenes: Mark Stielow

[XcYZ]

I've hinted earlier this year that I have some new things in the works for Lateral-g.net. Here's one of them. :thumbsup:

Behind the Scenes with Lateral-g.net
A new feature that we are rolling out is called Behind the Scenes. It's a look at the people that have made an impact on the modern muscle car building styles and trends. We've all seen the cars and projects, this is look at how these people got to where they are today. Kicking off this new feature is a story on Mark Stielow. It's a story about what he has accomplished and how he's gotten to where he's at. It also includes pictures of past projects and events, such as 1 Lap of America. I have many more people lined up, so look for regular additions this spring and summer!


Behind the Scenes: Mark Stielow (http://www.lateral-g.net/bio/stielow/)
Growing up in North Kansas City, Missouri, Mark was always busy at his Dad's garbage hauling business. Access to the shop allowed Mark to develop his skills and build a love of wrenching that he still enjoys today... MORE>> (http://www.lateral-g.net/bio/stielow/)

Just read it very cool. Can't wait to see who's next?? :thumbsup:

[James OLC]

Great job Scott.:thumbsup:

The work that Mark has done in the past has been a huge motivation behind the OneLapCamaro project - Inspiration by Demonstration. Mark's design forsight has been increadible and he has changed this hobby forever. Thanks for giving us a more personal look at the man behind the cars.

I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Cool idea Scott and great story.

Sweet idea Scott!!

Great story and a great guy! I have to admit the first article on The Mule is what got me off the sport bikes and into the Camaro project!! I love Marks build style and the fact that he doesn't let them become street rods...but lets them remain muscle cars with modern tech!! :thumbsup:

Man he had a lot of cars before college! Which one was Tri-Tip, the first One Lap car?

[NOVA]

That is Cool! Nice job dude!

[Flash68]

Great story, looking forward to the series!

[McssGmachine]

Great story on Mark! This series is going to set this website apart from others!

Good job Scott!:thumbsup:

[Rybar]

Awesome, I always loved Mark's vision and his projects. If it weren't for him I may have never built my car. The Thrasher & Mule were big inspirations for me. Great job on the page Scott, I love reading stories about pioneers in any industry. And Mark is for sure at the top for pro-touring. :hail:

Great read! No wonder he had to build his wife such a great car. After all those moves, I'm sure she was wanting a little pay off. ;-)

[RedRyder]

Just read it. Great story. It's nice to see guys that give so much to this hobby get some thanks. You build some sick, sick vehicles. Your efforts are an inspiration to guys like us and I appreciate it.

[Garage Dog 65]

30 plus bad ass cars - a 70 Boss 302 as a college ride - and - Nurburgring in Germany 6 times. He's logged over 400 laps on the track with a personal best lap time of 8:35 - and he's running a major GM performance group.... what is he like a hundred years old or something ????

I HATE THIS GUY !!!

:)


Thanks Mark and Scott !

[olds87]

I just read about Mark, I did not know he had that many cars, O my.

It would be a cool that if he build a G-body car for next project.

[J2SpeedandCustom]

Scott this is a great addition to Lateral-g! I enjoyed reading the article and getting to know more about what Mark has done over the years. You hear things 3 and 4 hand and don't know what to believe... Thanks for the first hand info! :thumbsup:

Oh and who is next?

[Reckley]

Great idea Scott!!

Along with all the great accomplishments Mark is also very modest and truly a nice guy. :thumbsup:

[kmcanally]

That was great...good job Scott.

[Speedster]

Very cool idea Scott. ...And the perfect person to start it off. Mark has had a HUGE impact on the Lateral-g pro-touring movement.

[Jr]

Nice read. Thanks Scott

Mark seems like a very accomplished and humble guy...:thumbsup:

[Beast2831]

Do any of you know what color of silver Mark used on the Mule. Some silvers, depending on the light, have a greenish look to them. I'm thinking of painting my 69 silver with a black hockey stick.

That was an awesome article.I had the opportunity to meet Mark at last years Woodward Cruise and the guy is so humble it's incredible......there I am crawling underneath camaro X and not having a clue it was Marks car and he comes over and calmly asks if I had any questions !!!! I just about sh#t myself.I asked him a few things and then he turns to me and says I am sure you know all about my cars but tell me about your car and what you are building??
The guy was truly an awesome individual.The guy builds some serious cars and really gives all of us the push and drive to complete our cars.Mark you are the man and keep doing what your doing..we all thank you for it.I even managed to get a photo with him.
