The opportunity arose for a job at General Motors in Oklahoma City where he worked as an assembler in the chassis department. Art worked at General Motors from 1979 until retired from there in 2006.

Art loved drag racing! Every chance he had he was racing or watching. He was gifted in building hot rods from the ground up. He could rebuild a motor overnight.
