Jesse Wilson originally bought the 1993 Dodge Stealth back in 2000 as a daily driver. The main reason he bought the Stealth was so that he didn't have to drive his show truck on a daily basis. After a year of owning the car, his interest in the tuner scene was more aware to him. He went online to different websites and forum boards for more information, pictures and stories on other Stealth builds and looked for inspiration for his project build. In his research, he noticed that he wasn't alone - many others modified the Stealth/3000gt platform.

 From 2002 untill 2006, the Stealth went thru an extensive build. Once complete, the car competed in several shows winning 30 trophies! Jesse wanted to take the car to the next level. In the fall of 2006, he decided he wanted to get rid of the low power SOHC motor and swap in the Twin Turbo DOHC motor from the VR4. He went a little further than just a motor swap and took the car down to a bare chassis and started the next phase of the build.

The exterior color was changed from the factory red to House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl with a Black Pearl and Snow White Pearl graphic. The body kit from the first build was removed and replaced with a full AIT kit, fiberglass hood and APR carbon fiber wing. The interior was fiberglassed and black suede upholstery was added along with carbon fiber accents and hidden blue LED's within the car. The interior was painted Tangelo Pearl, Black Pearl and Snow White Pearl to match the exterior. The engine bay was completely reworked with mirrored stainless covers and hidden blue LED's to accent the engine, which is painted Black Pearl and Tangelo Pearl. The motor was rebuilt with a lot of bolt-on power upgrades.

Jesse enjoys his Stealth being one of the few at shows. In fact, in some cases, he found himself with the only one there! He didn't understand why this platform was considered the black sheep of the tuner industry, but he always received the best compliments about what was done to the car and felt that he brought new life to this forgotten car of the 90s.

Jesse continues to have new ideas and is constantly making changes to the Stealth to keep it fresh in today's competition scene. He built the entire car himself except for the paint which was done by Tim's Autobody and Restoration in Abbottstown, PA. The roll cage was provided by Piranha Fabrications in New Oxford, PA. Now with over 60 awards, Jesse has turned his hobby into a part-time business and hopefully in the very near future. As a car builder to its true fashion, he has taught himself everything he needed to know to build this car and he believes in the saying, "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!"

With that said, we look forward to the next phase of Jesse's Project Stealth in the near future!
