No, he has had his own machine shop for at least 15 years.

As stated in my earlier post, he is busy and you have to call and check on your stuff often.

It is this way with any good machine shop.

David has done all of the machine work (I build them myself) on my current 347 and my last 347 (sold the car). I run them hard at tracks like Road Atlanta and I have had zero issues. I highly recommend him. Greg

David may not admit to you being a customer, pretty sure every engine you ever had blew up.
