Default 93 chip car (THUNDERCHICKEN)

Guys need your help. I am working with Alan Forsyth to get the Thunderchicken back together and running for the LTX shootout. Being a 93 it is a chipped car. Yeh I know go 24x. Well that is the plan for him next winter but with getting the motor back together and running it is not in the budget this year. I am trying to find someone who still burns chips for these cars. I know its hard to find anymore. If anyone knows of a reputable tuner who is still doing this please reply. Help us get this well know car back up and running and kicking *** again.

I still do chips as far back as 1985. If that is the car I think it is, it had one of mine in it at one time.
