Franz Blam, in Atlanta., ask for Thomas, cheers, Sonny.

PS, there is plenty of qualified people out there, most of them don't have this internet style exposure or don't care to have.

Now that is what I am talking about, www.ortonperformance.com, it has actual prices for the packages! The question now is, do the prices listed include installation? Because if they do, those are some damn good deals!

Protomotive's "shed" is nicer than many "mainstream operations". Plus he's closer to the SE than EVOMS or UMW. My Supra was built in a single car garage with no lift while the motor was assembled on his kitchen table. All you should care about is past performance and reliability from the one actually doing the work.

No, I dont think package prices from most places include installation, but he'll work with you though.

You are right, but he didn't look like he was offering any kind of mail order service, just hands-on service, so I thought maybe the prices included installation. Those prices were too good for that to be the case, though. I sent him an email to see what he might be able to do for my car and how much installation might cost.

Hmmmm. All good shops.

Restructuring? Only if Ken Lay was involved would it get my money.

Well he's been a one man band for 4 years, which after seeing what he's been doing all by himself, is pretty astonishing. Having to do all the mechanic work, answer phone calls, be trackside for us on the weekends, advertise and maintain a workshop solo is no small feat.

So we are going to help him out, it may take us a little while, but all debts will be paid, and he'll be able to concentrate on what he does best. No need to turn this into a bash fest, if you have any problems send me a p.m. and we can talk.
