Oh do yall only do transmission, my brothers got my welder and I want to find someone who will cut off the bottom part of my panhard rod braket and weld a new one on.

Its all tore up
Nah man... it ain't like that. It's all about seeing what there is to see and making sure you know whatcha got!

As far as the welder... I do not have a welder. But the boys next door at Xtreme H/P do. No problem getting them to do it. It is simply a matter of planning I am sure.

If ya'll want a place to have a GTG we can do it in the parking lot of my shop and we will not have to worry about getting ran off. Just let me know. My shop is in NRH.

I might try to setup a GTG at the huge parking lot at our plant. I'm going to see if the owners are down. The first person to do a burnout or donut will need bullet proof tires guaranteed tho.

Well I guess I am the only loser in the Cleburne area. Which in case you guys don't know is right south of Fort Worth. I used to live on Marine Creek Prkwy though when I first got my T.A a couple of years ago. We should all get together one night.

We'd be happy to knock it out! That is a standing offer to anyone I know who has a car. Always has been, always will be. We don't allow folks to work on their own cars, but we do help them understand what we see, help identify noises, leaks etc. We have found broken welds on Ladder Bar cars, cracked oil pans, bad u-joints..... you name it, we've found it. And this offer is not only for DD cars, we will look at any race car as well.... if we can get it up on the rack that is.

That's what it is all about.
