They have done a good majority of the work on my car. Including custom ported heads, custom grind cam, valvetrain, all supporting mods, tuning, clutch and will be installing my rear end when I get it. Great guys, great prices and they let you kow what's going on while they're doing it.

Tony's a good guy, when he answers the phone.

They've been really busy lately and the word is starting to spread. Good words travel fast.

No ****, even I have a hard time getting ahold of him sometimes and my car has been there more than it's been at my house this year. And the other night, I actually had to drop off my car. There was another one in the trailer!



They are seriously getting busy though. Not too bad considering his catalog isn't even up yet.

Thanks for the good replys guys. Im trying my hardest to do everything. We finally have a secertary that is learning, but I want to make sure Im always there to answer everyones questions on the phone, but at the same time I want to be working on the cars too. We have hired a full time mechanic now and a good friend of mine. He has one of the fastest stangs on the street and soon to be one of the fastest 04 Goats to terrorize the chicagoland area.
