    Bud has the yellow / orange Mustang II you might sometimes see at PRP (Continental Cobra) and his son Bob has a super slick/clean nitrous Fox hatch that runs NMRA Renegade. Just super nice people. Bud has the jig to narrow, do 9" ends, etc. as I said he did my 9" ends, welded my tubes, and straightened my housing (was told it took 2 torches and a 100 ton press). I'm 99% sure that's who fixed Ed (ares) housing when he broke the rosettes and spun the axle tube on his car. I couldn't be happier with his work on mine.

    Bud straightened, welded the tubes, welded braces on, chopped off the ends and welded on 9" ends on the housing I had in my Cobra. He did an amazing job and is very fairly priced.
