First off, welcome to the forum and you definitely hit the nail on the head, there's definitely a wealth of experience and information here.

As for your shop, very impressive. I wish you were closer to where I'm at (within a few states, maybe), I'd love to have some work done there...looks like you do great work. And the road-race cars are very cool...someone will be very happy with your new projects very soon.

Welcome again!

Welcome to the forum. I'm pretty close by in Easton. I'll have to take a ride up to your shop when I get the Vette back together. It's going to need plenty of short distance shakedown runs.
