Weney and his staff build really nice pipe, and you'll 'pay' for the quality they put into their cars, but they are top-rate craftsmen & people:
when I had my '94 R.E.D. built there, I'd ordered the small 5" x 5" U.S. Navy wheels & tires (at a time when everybody was moving-away from them ), but Weney had made the removable from A-arms for the 17"-tall wheels, and already had them Jet-Hot'd.....
when the car was a week late being delivered due to fabricating & coating the proper A-arms, he threw-in the extra A-arms at no-charge, and a boxful of T-shirts, to-boot!
Although I spent very-little time with the car
(fogging-up the visor by 500' on every run at-night was
),
it's 2nd owner won a Track Championship with it, several races and went 7.7x @ 173-ish, the 3rd owner won 2 more Track Championships and dozens of races, and last year, under it's 4th owner, it won twice again, at the ripe ol' age of 13+ years-old.
