Lived in wilmington area about 17 yrs ago and recently moved back ,
and in the limestone rd area. I'm also another satisfied customer of Fran,
a relative told me about Fran's shop and the quality of work they do.

Had some stuff done there not long ago and going back as soon as the wife's
avalanche gets out of the shop.

yea i go to the ocean city shows alot but the best show is the first rod show its crazy down there.. Carlisle is a very good show i went last year for the first time its a very big place. we have a bunch of f-bodys and GTO's down her that are my friends and we normally ride together to shows

I stopped in there today, just to say hi and check the place out, there are some damn nice cars he is working on in there, and he seems to be a pretty standup guy, check his place out if your looking for work and such...

Thanks SOMHawk, I'm actually debating about putting the Z06's on the WS6 and getting a set of black ZR1s (17x10.5 rears) for the 99. I never seen the black outs before, always to scared to buy them and be disappoint. Looks like I might be getting a set, then all I need is a black plate and I'll be good to go

Hey Fran, I think I may still do the install. I will be bringing it to you for the tune though no doubt. I am going to take your advise, and get a set of heads. Why not ya know Expect a ring somewhere around late January-early February. I've got a couple deployments coming up including over X-Mas and won't get it done til I get back

How often to people go cruising in DE??? When I'm back in town, I spend alot of time up and down Kirkwood, and make my way to the Maryland side of Elkton Rd. Newark is way to sketchy these days...not that Kirkwood is any better.
