currently we have 2 chevelle SS (454 and 396), three challengers (a 440RT, 340 T/A, and the shop car, the orange that has a fuel injected built 426 Hemi + 4 speed), a Olds 442, camaro, a trans am, a 69 firebird we are doing a ls1 swap in, a 69 hemi roadrunner we are doing a frame-off on, a 66 vette, and a 68 vette, and a GTX (i just completed a A/C install in)

Pics! :

I think this topic lacks some vids of these cars revving their muscle engines.....
It does indeed!

Anyway nice cars, you have a very cool job!

Ugh, really wish I ended up going into Auto mechanics instead of Computer engineering. Your shop is better than any mahogany filled office in the corporate world :\

There's a muscle car shop down the street from my parents house in NY, they always have some interesting cars there, but I dont think they do much work these days. I'll try and stop by this weekend.

Looking forward to the pictures and videos.. That orange Camaro reminds me of a friend from High School who past away. He had a mint '68 in solid orange... with a very big tank of nitrous in the back seat 0X

You still got that beast of a Miata?

we are very quality oriented, everything is triple checked, by the person doing it, another person, and then one of the owners
