Sheldon is a very cool guy. He worked on my car quite a few years back. He also welded in his own line of subframes to my then GT.

depends, turn key? short block, long block, hardware and brand items??? hp target?
I myself have been to his shop numerous times and kicked it there quite a few times. Hes a great guy with quality work imo.
WHEN i get the money (kid on way so probably NEVER) he'll be doing my turbo set up without a doubt.

like mentioned before on your 408 what are you getting for your money? you can have over 6000.00 in a shortblock just in parts no labor no machine work.

Sheldon at BBR is a stand up guy. He has done a lot of work on my car and I have had no problems whatsoever. If your trying to price match then I bet you that Sheldon will be either lower or in the same area as most shops (most shops probably charge more then him anyway). Just the general rule..speed costs money...expect to spend some and you don't want to go cheap....especially on a 408w that will require good heads/intakes (expensive) to make it work.

I have only met Sheldon one time down at the Drag strip his turbo car was very impresive for what it appeared to have. Also all the work was very clean. He also seemed like a very nice person to deal with.

I don't think this was the intent of this thread. Why you got to go and start somthing like that.

My honest impression after having a set of torque box plates and subframe connectors welded in:
1.) He seems very knowledgable about fab work and his welding is superb. No questions about that.
2.) He came across as an honest hard-working guy
3.) He is not cheap by any means
4.) It was a challenge to make a Saturday appointment, but that's expected for a small shop ran by someone that is self employed.
Overall, if you want great welding work, and are willing to pay for it, I recommend BBR.
I can't speak for any other work since that is the only visit I had.

Sheldon's will be tunning my car when i'm done. I do most of my own work but will the tunning to someone who know what they're doing. But I've been there plenty of times to shoot the shi* or pick his brain. If I had the cash he would be installing a turbo kit for me. All I can say if youre going to do it. Do it right the first time or you will be kicking yourself in the ass later.
