If u got somebody coming out of Vallejo wanting fox work beware, everybody around here knows me, except for about 5 knuckle heads in the last 11 years with there side of woes with me, that i should of following my gut feelings there is just not very many people i kick outta here or should of, or just wont plainly work on there cars. Reasons being Either they are cheap, thieves,scam artist, dope dealers, or just headaches tryna have u work for free and blame u for there pile of crap, pretty much headaches. so far ive been right every time even tho i took chances that later i told myself so, gd luck, an just be careful is all im saying. now if they cant deal with my attitude that i understand and those cats might be ok to deal with because my costumer service is rough lol. on the flip side there also might be a flow of people coming out of Vallejo in the next 3 to 4 months cause ill be shutting this place down and down sizing the size of the new shop for lower over head, an so just me solely can concentrate on whos cars im carefully picking to work on,i dont need it all i just want a small amount of consistent decent work with decent folks, and my new land lords are cunts to say the very least so i gotta leave here now before i slap a bitch. around that time ill not be taking in nearly as much work as i normally did so there might be a bigger flow of me out sourcing work to other respectable shops as well, even tho there's a couple other shops out there that i personally cant stand attitude wise, but have a gd reputation in there field, it wont stop me from sending work that way. if u have any questions on any body coming out of this town feel free to call me and ill give who ever u are wondering about my professional opinion on them and there car so u don't have some of the problems ive had over the years. I like honest folks that do as they say and truly can respect the car building game. gd luck this field of work is not a easy one at all.

We get alot of fox work here....and it's just in the way you handle them, or any customer for that matter.
When we get foxes in here I explain we need to look the car over first....before ANYTHING is done or quoted.
What i've learned in this business.....never say you will work on something.....until you see it.
I don't know how many times i've gotten calls saying, "oh I just need a tune", and then it arrives with the wrong parts, laundry dryer pipe for an intake, mix matched bolts, oil leaking from the intake, wires laying everywhere, etc.
You then explain that it's not ready for tuning and it will need quite a bit of work before it ever sees a dyno.
Some aren't happy about that, but I just tell then...."do you wanna do this right....and just 1 time?"

I would rather work on Foxbody performance, the hard part is getting the customer to understand it takes a lot of time and money to go fast.
