Default Some good news!

As some of you already know, there was a little "incident" with my vette some years back. Seems a Ford got in the way

I was told by a couple of people that the frame horns might have been tweaked, which of course makes spending $$ on it quite the waste of time

Upon the recommendation of the gents at Auto XTC in St. Petersburg, I took it over to Mikes Auto Body on 122nd Ave. in St. Pete.

Dennis, one of the techs there initally took a look at it and assured me there was no damage to the frame, but I wanted to be sure. He crawled in, over around and through the car and could find no indication of damage.

I took it back when the owner was present, and Mike himself took a look at it.

He took a couple hours out of his day and went over this thing with a fine toothed comb not to mention all the squares and measurements he took. He checked the squareness of the frame, the works!


About 2 hours later, the verdict was in..............................

LET THE MODDIN' BEGIN!!!!

Hey Mike...

I'd highly recommend these guys for your paint/body work and the way the treat the client

What are you gonna do to her Gordon? Engine mods or just bolt ons? I'm torn between keeping mine stock or swappin motors. I know I can only expect so much HP out of this Tuned Port Injection, so I'm contemplating finding an LS1 or just hot rodding what I have. It will be a while anyway, got too many irons in the fire as it is!

I'm sure Gordon has something up his sleeve. He didn't go through all that trouble for nothing.......
