Anderson Speed Factory — The Story Behind the Wrenches
Anderson Speed Factory (ASF) is a personal garage brand built on curiosity, discipline, and hands‑on learning. I didn’t grow up around cars or tools — I learned by doing, breaking, fixing, and trying again.
ASF isn’t a commercial shop. It’s my ongoing journey of building, restoring, and improving vehicles in my own driveway — sharing the real process, not a polished highlight reel. If you’re into learning, problem‑solving, and building better cars with your own hands, you’re in the right place.
ASF PROJECTS IN PROGRESS
2017 JEEP CHEROKEE “FRANCHESKA” ("FRANKIE")
Daily driver duty with occasional wrench time — maintenance, small fixes, and upgrades when needed. Not a full build… yet.
The first project car I bought to build. This Fiero started the obsession — a long-term build evolving one upgrade at a time.
- Enzo is my 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT, bought off Facebook Marketplace for $1,500 as a classic “ran when parked” car with a small exhaust leak. Most of the early work was basic survival: cleaning fuel lines, replacing vacuum lines, and getting her to kind-of run.
She made it through two deployments, which is why she sat for so long. After moving to Washington, Enzo finally got the attention she deserved — we got her running smooth, took her on some back road drives, even did a few days of DoorDash runs for fun.
Eventually, cylinder 4 lost compression and Enzo ended up on jack stands, where she’s been ever since. This is the car that turned casual interest into a full ASF obsession.
1949 CHEVY 3100 “REBHA”
A long-term resto-mod in progress — modern reliability and drivability upgrades happening as time, budget, and experience allow. Still very much mid-build.
2000 TOYOTA MR2 SPYDER (NAME TBD)
A future project car waiting its turn in the lineup — no work started yet, but it’s already part of the ASF story.
