II Much Fabrication, LLC came into being as an umbrella under which John Parsons built a Pro-Touring 1967 Chevy II Nova. Dubbed II Much -- a nod to GM’s Chevy II naming convention, along with a whimsical play on the phrases too much time, too much performance, and too much fun, the car was popular among fellow enthusiasts.The reason for the popularity of the car is difficult to explain, other than that it took years to build, and many of the decisions that went into building the car were reviewed, reversed, and reworked by a community of contributors. This collaborative process went on for nearly 9 years until the car was completed, tweaked, appeared at SEMA, http://v8tvshow.com/content/view/439/205/ re-completed, and eventually sold at auction at Barrett-Jackson for $175,000. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a6atyh13lY&feature=feedlik
Along the way, John Ulaszek was a principal contributor, as a photographer for the technical articles about the car that appeared in Popular Hot Rodding magazine, for his background in mechanical engineering and manufacturing, and as a member of the group within the group called the Design Committee.
Now that the car is completed, tested, driven, tracked, and sold, John and John are applying some of the lessons learned during the build of II Much by offering unique parts either developed as part of the car’s build, or parts that would have been useful during the build. The list of those is short for now: a fuel vent that allows high-g maneuvers without fuel slosh or garage odor, electrical bulkhead connectors for custom wiring harnesses, and fabrication mounting bosses (FabBosses).
Future plans call for expanding the lineup of FabBosses (available today in 1/4-20 and 10-24 versions), a new version of the Fuel Vent, and tools and accessories to complement them.
