I'm about 50 miles west of Atlanta in a town called Dallas, Ga. right next door to Cartersville. I use a shop in Cartersville for my paint and some other work. You don't hear much about them because for some reason the owner has a thing about his work maybe not standing up to the big guys in the business.

Let me tell you that 90% of what comes out of their shop is usually in a magazine spread within a year on it's own merrit and workmanship. No politicing or pushing from the shop, just the owners showing up at events. They do extremely nice work at a fair rate, the employees are very easy to work with and care about what you want in the end.

They do a wide range of projects, Right now they have a lowered '49 Chevy PU, 2 55 Sport coupes with full Morrison Chassis, one with an LS7 and 6 speed, also a 56 drop top custom. There is an 09 Challenger factory drag car being finished out there along with some others, last month they finished work on the HEATCO factory five GTM.

They will do anything from PT upgrades to turnkey cars, you just don't hear about them except by word of mouth because they stayed covered up without advertising. My car will be back there in about a month for final paint and some of the final assembly. They outsource engines and interior work from reputable sources such as Turn key, mast, etc. and interior work by Sam's trim shop which is located in Dallas or Paul Atkins in Alabama. You will be hard pressed to beat the workmanship in this area.

They are also a dealer for Morrison Chassis and several other high qaulity component manufacturers. This may save you both time and money in the end for some items.

Give the owner Brad Cline a call at 678-986-2632 and tell him Tommy Parker sent you. The shops name is Thunder Valley Customs and is located just out of Cartersville on hwy. 411 in White, Ga.
