Anyone have any experience with Duntov Motors in Denton TX? They are just a short drive from me and would be a covenant place to have my steering box overhauled. Any info would be appreciated. Tim

Duntov quoted me $170 to overhaul. I did just sent a message to Mike (tracdogg2), I'm hoping he will respond.

I bought a complete brake system from them one year ago for my 67. Only draw back was the delivery was delayed a little. Other than that no problems. Brakes are great. Jason was very pleasant to talk with.

I do.

I won't do business with that outfit.

I personally have never done business with them. A close friend has and based on his experiences I never will. Find someone else.

They do build some of the fastest Vintage race Corvettes in the Country! I would not have thought that they would take in generic rebuild projects! As everything from Rear diffs, brake packages, to trailing arm set ups are high end pricing stuff! Are they hurting for business?

I concur! My racecar has a Duntov Motors engine and I am quite happy with it

Did Zora ever endorse or otherwise have a relationship with them? Or did they just hijack a Corvette legend's name?

The answer could tend to indicate their honesty...

ask your pal Jody why he`s not a Duntov customer anymore...

Zora died in '96, as I recall. DM wasn't started until '04.

Dr L-88

If memory serves me correctly, I think Duntov Motors signed some kind of agreement with Zora's widow (Elfie) to use the name.

I bought all the suspension parts for my car through DM - bushings, bearings, seals, ball joints, rear axle spindles. One of the orders showed up without a packing slip. Wanting to keep a record of parts received, replaced, etc., I called DM to request a copy of the invoice order. I was told an invoice copy would be sent. .. Two weeks on......no invoice copy. Call again, yada yada........we'll send it out.
No copy ever arrived.

OK, thanks for all the input. I see there are lots of bad feelings about this company ether due to past experience or just the use of the name Duntov. I will send my steering box to a company that is respected on this forum. Tim

These people are HIGHLY respected in the NCRS world. I've used them a few times and they are definitely the best - http://www.bairs.com/

Used them twice for steering box rebuild and t-arms. Very nice company to deal with.

I have Mike Dwyer's phone number somewhere if you email me I will look for it. There is also a guy just east of Dallas that I swapped my 63 race car's for a rebuild that does excellent work and one day shipping. No comment on Duntov but I have bought a few race parts from them.

Thanks Howard and Steve.
I've already talked to Tim and got the details worked out.

Steve, Are you referring to Ken at LoneStar?
