ASL company
A company called ASL located in Sparks, Nevada used to offer a great service in the restoration A-arms, brakes, carbs, etc to original specs. Does anyone know if someone purchased the equipment and is currently operating a business offering these services? The quality of their work was excellent and it was sad to see them go out of business.
Thanks, John.

Re: ASL company
I don't know what is going on with Don from ASL fame. He was somewhere out west and then moved to Sparks and then I don't know what the hell happened to him. I bought a nice 67 Corvette smog set-up from him. I would imagine that Bill Hodel knows his whereabouts. This is what I found on him from a quick Google search:
ASL Co. - aluminum casting restoration and repair Don Dorfman 253-691-5893 [email protected] Regards, Mark

Re: ASL company
Mark,
I spoke with Don and he is only doing the aluminum resto work now. I guess a divorce with the wife getting his equipment caused him to close up shop. Have you heard of anyone who offers similiar services to what he offered? Thanks, John.

Re: ASL company
I talked to Don a while back.
He was still doing smog stuff, but only selling it thru Bill Hodel. Hence why I only listed the aluminum repair in the listing above.....

Re: ASL company
I sent some things out to Don a couple years ago,and he did some really nice work.As good or better then his work 20 years ago.I wouldn't hesitate if you could get a hold of him today,although more exclusive to Bill right now.

Re: ASL company
Mark, my primary interest was in the suspension parts resto esp. the riveting of the ball joints. Hopefully I can find a shop closer to the Westcoast. Thank you for all the info.
John.
