Preston -- I've built more cars MYSELF than many of these shops have done - EVER... But it takes longer and longer and the skills needed are higher and higher... and I'm older and older and frankly -- I'm building other stuff...
There's lots of DECENT shops around locally --- and Timmy Diver is a personal friend... but builds like these are all about relationships and who has the idea you want - or thinks like you do... and Diver doesn't do "pro touring" - he only uses crate motors.... and his cars are mostly like what SAR does - SHOW CARS.... I don't do show cars. I like drivers that are built to show standards. Plus I like fine metal work (divers does this as well -- as does SAR)... But SAR proved they can't build a driver. Plus he has an attitude. I don't do attitudes. Somehow I always figure I'm the customer... he thinks you're lucky just stepping in his shop. Oil and water - they don't mix.
There's about 5 other shops on LAT G that I'd have build a car... just off the top of my head. None of them are "around here".

Greg you say 5 Shops? Are any in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania? I think you own some apparel from one I know of?
