Phil, I can't believe you messed up your car like that. Parallel parking is going to be a nightmare.

I like your airbridge.

DO you do all this work out of your garage or do you have a business? You do some pretty sick build ups

We run the business out of our home. Low volume but high quality and can offer all the special things any vette owner could ask for.

John,
Thats the best thing about what we do. We can select the customers who we want to work with and the people we have worked with know our work is 2nd to none. Yeah, we take a couple of days longer to make things happen but we rarely overlook anything. I have been building cars for the last 11 years and this is the most fun I have ever had. Everyone has asked me why don't I quit my day job and do this full time, well I have fun @ my day job and 20 hours a week on cars is enough to know that I don't want the full time headache!

I can't say enough about the work Phil has done on my car. I told him how I wanted to use the car - weekend trips, nice weather DD, not tracked - just a nice gentlemans cruiser. Phil recommended the setup and now I end up with a 460-470 beast that I can drive in bumper to bumper DC rush hour or stomp on it and scare myself (not an easy task). I can cruise at 1k and scream to to the 6600 rev limiter. I told you it was conservative.

Phil, let's do the 3.90's next.
