Greg,

Besides the clutch issue, any other work you're having done?

How long will 'The Red Menace' be at Roy's?

What are your impressions of their operation?

Any builds there you particularly like?

I'm having them do a front and rear end alignment. SAR "did it" - but I don't trust anything MECHANICALLY that they do/did. The rear twin coil overs touch the half shafts once in awhile - so they'll take a look at spacing/spacers... It's not an issue - but I had much larger half shafts built - so that created the issue.

Not sure how long it will take them - they're very busy - and they really don't do "repair work" but were willing to take this on... so it will just be done when it's done.

I've always been 100% impressed with their shop - and the way they treat customers. This explains why so many people have had several cars built there. Here's a comparison.... Brizio is happy to see you - and happy to have you tour the shop and work with you.... SAR's attitude is that you're lucky that they acknowledge you.... Which explains why they have few repeat customers and very little work in the shop. Brizio is slammed with work. HUGE difference!

Rodders Journal just did a piece on ANOTHER Eric Clapton car... they've built him several... and the article shows the car in bare metal. It's now painted and is in the area where they do final assembly. It's super kool. There were 4 cars in the final assembly area... and all were just WOW.

Funny how clean the shop is -- they don't do bodywork... no bondo dust flying around - no primer in the air... just metal.

I'm so po'd at myself for having made such a bad choice having SAR build the car - when this (Brizio) was my first pick to start with... but I kinda felt sorry for SAR having so little work, and felt it was closer to me, and blah blah blah. :drama:

Greg,

Thanks for the info. You really painted a picture of how Roy Brizio treats people, and not surprisingly how busy they are.

I think you're referring to Clapton's 4 dr RHD Vicky. Looking forward to seeing that one done.

Greg, any news happening to your car? Great place to store it say till about May then Road trip:unibrow:

Lenie --- I'm afraid to call or email them and ask! If I hurry them up - you're right - I'll loose my storage facility!

I have the electrician coming this morning to finish up Rudys' wiring... Rudy was here this weekend and I have a plumbing fitting shopping list which I'll pick up tomorrow... and he'll be back this weekend and we should fire the pig off! Then hang sheetmetal. Of course.... in my usual "it can always be better" manor... I was at Art Morrisons the other day - and ended up buying him a coil over conversion and pan-hard bar... so once it's rolling/driving... we'll tear the reared out of it and get if off the leaf springs. :lol: :wow: :rolleyes:

Greg, my son just bought a little home up in Kirkland which I will be over at regularly for the next couple of months remodeling. I'll give you a call when I'm in the area and we can talk shop/cars, what a life:thumbsup:

EGGS SELL LANT!!!


I'm here 99% of the time.... Well... unless I have something more interesting to do! LOL

Greg, how could it possibly be anything more interesting to do then to be on here LOL. You can always come down and work on my wagon.

Tonny

Tonny!

I'll be down there over New Years for the Seahawks/Cardinals game!

Well -- that and also to make sure the condo is E M P T Y so I can donate it to some charity. :unibrow: :D Then I have to get my wife to Bondurant for her class sometime between then and the RTTAlamo event... Oh - and then there's the Grand National Roadster Show in there too... :willy: :D

I get your point
