For those who don't know already, I used to work there. I personally was never a fan of how the business was ran. Kind of unorganized, the guy that used to run the counter, was a straight asshole to customers that he thought didn't have money, quotes were "overquoted" and parts were over-priced. I was able to bring interest to customers to come in and get work done, only to have most of them turn around and walk away to another shop. This shop used to be great! The techs there really knew their stuff, our engine builder was the most knowledgable machinist that I've ever known, and some badass cars came out of that shop. It's a shame that it happened. I'll miss the place. Hopefully someone else can open it back up. Definitely a shop worth looking at.

You were the one who introduced me to the shop and told me about Shaun and Joe [patriot] I had a good experience with this shop, but I do agree, the guy behind the counter was an asshole until he saw my car and realized I knew my stuff. I also agree, it was un-organized as far as scheduling, but Joe always came through and went above and beyond when helping with some cylinder head issues I was having [patriot] I hope they re-open.

No, that was my buddy with a black 98 Cobra. I had a 2000 Green Vorteched Supercharged GT back in those days before I wrecked it and bought my White 03 Cobra.

His grammer is perfectly fine.. it's his cell phone that messes up his text. But to be honest, this man absolutely knows his s**t!! He has restored some of the baddest cars that I've seen. He has worked on original AC Cobras, original GT500s, original GT40s, foxbodys, terminators, chevelles, camaros, novas, pontiacs, mopars.. you name it he's probably done it. From frame-off restorations, engine builds, to Kenne Bell/Whipple installs, fuel systems, etc. I cannot count how many things I have learned from him. If you guys need any work done, go to All Classics, Restorations and Performance. Tim will take care of you all and at a fair price.

All the people with cars at the Ranch will have to deal with Joe. I have no control over any of this.I sure if they contact Joe directly he will address their concerns.I don't know who Dan is or what happened to him.
