Default Did PAF go under?

A friend and I were looking at having a set of sportsman cages put in our cars by Tyson after seeing his outstanding work first hand on MM's car.

Unfortunately, his phone is disconnected, his website is down, and his pm box is full.

Does anyone know the scoop or do we need to find a new chassis guy?

The last I talked to him was last year and I had a hell of a time getting ahold of him. He said he was making PAF a weekend job due to the economy, landing a demanding day job, and a declining customer base. I haven't talked to him since then but he is tight with Fireball so you might want to PM him. Good luck,

Larry

Damn... That's not what I wanted to hear... Who else wants to work with us on putting in a set of high quality 8.50 cages for a reasonable price in the Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina area.

Originally he was maintaining his shop on the weekends, but due to the tough economy, he couldn't justify keeping it and paying monthly rent. He's in the process of building a house and a large garage on his property (near where he was before). He's still around and does some rollcage work in my garage on weekends by appointment (I'm holding his equipment until he's up and running again). Suggest you call him on his cell in the evenings. 443-277-6800

Another very good option is NRC in NC. Look up veee8's thread in the FI section to see the excellent work they did for him.

I had some rollcage work done a few months ago. Give Tyson a call.
