How about giving credit where credit is due! Phil and Jeremy are talented guys -- and the "old man" (Neal) is right there helping them, early on, and probably on going, with management skills etc. Neal ran a very successful body shop business and I'm certain those skills are rubbing off on Phil and Jeremy.
These are smart people. These are talented people. And these are NICE people that are fun to hang with. They treat their customers right - do fantastic work - and therefore word gets out and more people take their projects to them. Pretty basic business.
As far as talent goes -- what fabricator wouldn't beg to work at a shop like this! They have other talented people to work with - they have great tools - nice space - well lit - and probably competitive wages.
People that can afford these top of the line builds didn't get there by being stupid and making bad choices. So if you're a potential customer and want to build this kind of quality - there are very few shops where you'd take your business and KNOW you're going to get a car that exceeds your expectations.
It's also pretty obvious to me that they've taken the revenue and plowed it back into the business and grown that business. Good old fashioned business 101.
My hat is off to them! They've more than earned their stripes.
