I'm in Potomac, about 10 minutes down the road. What type of work are you looking to have done?

well...ive had my car up in PA for about 5 months last year at SC&C. I have been to AutoFab a couple times..they are a sponsor on here. There is a shop called Contemporary Classics like literally 2 miles from my house. They do street rods and specialty cars. They put out some nice stuff!!! There is a guy up in damascus named Jamie Lindesy...he does some nice work...more along the lines of drag racing but can do suspension work. What are you looking for and where do you go?

im going through my card index trying to find all the shops in the area....I get my motors built up at Mancini Machine...tranny built at thoroghbred transmissions off of 216...go my dyno done by Altered Atmosphere and JPC...getting the car tuned by DBD Performance...got my firesuit and harness form OGRacing...got lots of parts from my work Trick Trucks....i think thats all for the cards in my index. Need any numbers??

Geez guy, you get around a little huh? I just have some small detail work I need to have done. Window work, grill etc... Im trying to hook up with Jason up in Pa at G Force Designs. All of my motor and drivetrain work was done at Md Performance Center. They work on nothing but high horsepower stuff. They are on the backside of Altered Atmosphere which by the way, I used them to do the pulley/ecu and header mod on my E55. I try to stick with just a couple of guys. I'm more in the market rignt now for someone to help with my 72 Bronco. I can't get my linkage to work right and I'm almost ready to drive that thing off cliff. No problems, I just can't make the linkage work like it should.

SW at this pace you will have complete a half dozen killer cars before I get mine done. You the man! Any hints?

He's not cheap but his does have a good product. I've had too many bad experience going with the cheaper guy.

what good product? He sells pretty muchthe same stuff everyone else does. I dont know about his installations though...but I do all that myself.

I get most of my parts from my work...but im getting some stuff soon from PRRC (sponsor on here).

I'm talking about his work. I don't weld or do any fab work at all. I didn't build my own motor, I didn't build my rear or my trans. That's the good work I'm talking about. He's not a Jegs or a parts house. They are a true Speed Shop. If you use him, his parts a cheaper. The guy has some pretty radical cars that he builds and he busy enuff that he doesn't have to take everything that walks through the door.

Where do you work?

i work at Trick Trucks....in Lanham. The last time I went to MPC...about 4 years ago...I priced out a set of headers and he was way more expensive than jegs. I have never seen his work...I might go check it out!!
