Going with Jakes Rod Shop for my build

[thegman]

I've been researching for a few months and I have contacted a few other shops. Jake got back to me in no time flat and has been more helpful than I could have ever asked for and he doesn't even have my car yet. I'm excited about the build and I know its in good hands. There will be a project thread up so you all can go along for the ride. I can't wait to get started!

Here's the before

Going to be EFI LSX 454, T56, Jakes full subframe and front/rear suspension and cage. Probably AP racing brakes. Vintage air. I haven't made up my mind on color but will likely keep the Hugger Orange as it is the original color.

Stay Tuned

Yeah, not a bad base to start out with for sure.

You're in good hands.

Jake is a great guy to do business with...

Nice car, but its going to really kick some butt shortly :)

Good Choice! I was headed there myself before the layoff. I look forward to the thread!

[Vinz68]

Great choice!! He did an awesome job on my car. If work wasn't so slow this winter I would of had him put in his sub frame. Looks like he'll do it next winter. Great project!! I'm looking forward to watching this build.
