ABC News spent some time recently with Wichita’s Johnathan Goodwin, the guy who converts gas-guzzlers into mean, green, fuel-efficient machines. The story will air tonight (5:30 p.m., KAKE Ch. 10) and there is an accompanying story at ABC News’ Web site.
His work has many wondering why the big automakers can’t simply reconfigure their assembly lines to make their own cars run as efficiently as Goodwin does.
“I don’t know why GM hasn’t done it,” says Goodwin, who figures he’d be out of business if they did. “But I can tell you that all the parts that I use for the conversion — 95 percent — are all GM parts. I’m not reinventing anything.”
In case you missed it, The Eagle did a story earlier this month on Goodwin and his work with musician Neil Young.
