I will be a silent partner

I am 3 hours north if your willing to travel a little bit.

I want to bump this thread since its been about 3 years and see if there is anyone else I should look at in the Dallas area.

My buddy Rodney at www.rodscarcraft.com. Come see us some day. Text me at972-814-8824 if you want to swing by to hang out

Vastines Paint Garage for paint & body needs. He also works w/RPL Customs on multiple projects. Roger @ RPL is a parts dealer, fabricator, interior guy, & top notch builder.

They're both in the Rockwall/Royce City area about 30mins East of Dallas. Google the names for some pics of their work.

Customs and Hot Rods of Andice is NORTH of Austin — so wouldn’t be that far of a drive from you.... and they build some pretty nice stuff!!! You want a race car — they have them and build them — you want a simple little truck - they’ll do that too..... They aren’t for the light of budget.......

For mechanical, performance and general fab work Anything Automotive in Denton TX and Protouring Texas somewhere in the Ft Worth area. Paint and Body Brian Vastine in Rockwall / Royce city or Rod's Car Craft in Wylie.

Here is Jason from Anything Automotive's shop truck they just finished a few days ago.

So I closed my Pro-touring shop last year and now work for the Comp Performance Group covering Texas. I'm in and out of a LOT of shops now;but since I've lived in DFW for the last 15 years that's where I know the best.

To properly answer your question... what exactly are you looking for? There are some shops that are really good at chassis and fab... some shops that are really good at mechanical... some that are really good at paint and body. Some are very good with classic cars, while some are geared towards modern pro-touring vehicles. Some only build engines. Some are more budget oriented, while some specialize in "no budget" builds. Very, very few are good at all of the above.

Over the past three and a half years I have delivered three painted rollers to Kevin the OP aka qnitro. The last two, a 70 Z28 and a 69 Camaro, won awards at Goodguys. He does a great job of completing these cars. He’s also become a great friend and I should be starting on his 78 Bandit car soon. He is a car building machine.
