Re: Anyone in Woodstock, Il. Area?
Well Santa is coming a little early this year. After almost a year of battling with this worthless shop I finally have resolved it. I received a refund of all my overpayments on my coupe and a refund on the convertible that never materialized. My coupe is being picked up today and moved into heated storage.
Thank you to everyone that offered advice or to assist me with my car(s). I am glad this is over and now I can get back to work with a clear head on finishing my projects.
The coupe has an LSx 427 waiting for it with a little boost supplied by twin turbos. The car will be pushing about 900hp on pump gas and 1200+ hp on race fuel. Once the car is done I will test it to see if the street manners make it a good driver. I anticipate it will be perfectly fine and a whole lot of fun.
As well, for the convertible that was never built, I am rolling the dice and trying a Dynacorn convertible body. The (2) bodies we purchased from them were picked up today and should be at the shop on Friday. After we do a very careful review of it will be know what we are dealing with. With speaking to people about them I have heard horror stories as well as many people that are satisfied with what they got. I already have a nicely warmed over LS2 and T56 ready to go in the car. With Vintage Air and pro-touring suspension it should be nice when completed.
Yesterday when we were out looking for a subframe we ran across a 1970 Nova that we were going to pick from. Ends up the car is almost rock solid aside from a little firewall collision damage. Now it looks like we have a 1970 Nova to build as well.
