When he retired from Ford in 1996, he founded the company "Personal Parts" which is currently the largest manufacturer of aerodynamic fiberglass kits in Brazil. Not satisfied with it, in 2005 he started working on the ISOR project, in order to create a 100% Brazilian made sports car, this project was presented in 2008 as San Vito S1.
