Fab/Speed shops in WA

[Hoofs70]

Anybody know of any good shops that can build the whole car?

Thanks

[CraigMorrison]

There are quite a few here in good ole Pierce/King county. Ron Pircey Race Cars, Hot Rod Fabrication, Wicked Fabrication. For speed shops, you have Honest Performance in Federal Way and Pro-Max Performance on 56th and South Tacoma Way. All are very good shops and do great work. PM me and I can get you some phone numbers.

Sumner huh? You should come by sometime for the 25-cent tour.

hey craig, i called you guys a couple of weeks ago regarding a roll bar/cage for my S10. spoke to someone who told me that you guys only make the kits, and don't install them. also said you guys dont make anything custom like bent door bars, all premade kits. can you recommend a shop to install your kit, or just fab a cage/bar outright?

sorry bout the hijack

thanks,
Jerome

Craig, I was was just curious for some places to get the scope of things I'll probably do down the road when I get some dough. Thanks.

Are you part of the Morrison's down in Fife, I drive by there everyday to work, I work at the scrap yard down there.

Yes, I am Art's son and have been part of the business for 16+ years. Definitely turn off of 54th (left on 7th) and come by for a shop tour!

Sweet, I've always have wondered what went on behind those doors

[Onebad78ta]

I would not use Ron Pircey ever again,not even to wipe off my wheels.

[Bonehead]

Ron Piercy did the cage in my El Camino. Nice guy. Good work. I have no complaints.

[Onebad78ta]

then you got lucky PERIOD

Wow probably the oldest thread I've seen Resurrected. Almost 8yrs!

I visited Ron Pircey when making a selection for the shop I was going to use and I was not impressed with the cleanliness of the shop. He was promising a very quick turnaround, which was attractive, but in the end, I decided to go with a shop that seemed to work slower, but do much more thoughtful, higher quality work.

I ended up using Randy Parker in Puyallup. He does almost exclusively top fuel and funny car chassis fabrication. Exceptionally good welding and fabrication, customer service, integrity, etc. and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. He's been at my S10 for over a year now and progress hasn't always been the fastest, but his work is top-notch and interaction with him is always a pleasure. PM me if you are considering a shop in the area and I can give you some more detail.

On the other hand, can anyone recommend a painter? I'm looking for a sub-$5k paint job and someone who can get it done in a relatively short period of time.

Also looking for a place that does media blasting and an interior person.

You made a wise choice,,

[jerome]

onebad78ta,

Did you source the paint and body work locally? It would be great if you had some recommendations in the area.

Thanks,
Jerome
