Randal does not machine anything automotive any longer. Hasn't for a while either. All oil and gas now.

You're better off with savani or ICS.

That's interesting. I've never used them personally.

A lot comes down to personal preference also. As the old saying goes, you can't make everyone happy all the time. You will hear good stories as well as bad ones from every single machine shop.

If you seriously want a good, honest machine shop that puts out serious high end stuff, try Gary Henry. "Henry racing engines". They do from stock rebuilds up to winning dirt late model engines that have set records at many tracks.

Mine was built by Dunk but I don't think he's doing engines any longer.

Yeah. I called him a while back. With the boom of the O&G, he went to making stuff for the drilling rigs and such. He said he got rid of all the automotive stuff.

I'm sorry i didnt get on here or get in touch with anyone when i was home in feb, i had picked up a 2012 Boss 302, then had to turn right back around and head back out for 7mo. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoyed that winter!

I told Jim I would give you his cell number when you were back from deployment. He said he would be glad to talk to you. Best time to catch him would be early evening. C. 724-622-4345. Vince.

I saw Jim's car at the Hot Summer Nights cruise in Beaver yesterday. I didn't run into Jim, but the car is still perfect!

I don't know that Jim will sell the car. I believe he plans on giving it to his oldest Grandson. He (his grandson 17 years old)was drivng it yesterday at the cruise.

[Fast Gypsy]

I'll let him know about your returning home in Oct.
