Default New Shop

After many months of looking,preparing ect I'm anouncing some changes.Dez Racing is going back to Ford and I'm going GM.In a few days the Dez banner will be down and my new company will be in it's place.

I'm very excited to share our new plans and building.The shop now will be in Bridgewater industrial park (2-3 miles off Rt24)(5 minutes from my house). It is a brand new building and our space is 3500 sq/ft with a nice office space with couch,tv ect,engine building room,2 long bays with 1 holding 2 lifts and the other having 1 lift and Dyno.Also plenty of storage space to make sure the shop is clean.

The new shop name is Slowhawk Performance - www.slowhawkperformance.com . Grand opening will be Oct. 1st.

A special thanks goes out to Marcel,Keith and Josh for the help they've been and I'm sure future help with the shop.

Here are a few pics in the state it's in now -nothing done yet. Next month we will be transforming into the shop we want/need.

Thanks
Don

LOL, I don't think anything could be harder than what I just went threw between all bussiness setup,insurance company's,banks ect in a 2 week period. I gave myself a month for shop setup.Lift company is ready to come in,then floor epoxy and the rest is setup.I need it done in that month since Oct. is pretty much booked already.

I was thinking that but the lift guy's didn't want to scratch it up.Just takes alittle longer to go around the lifts.

Thanks guy's. The move should be fairly easy since most stuff is being delivered.I see the hardest part is the patience to epoxy the floor
