As any of you that have built a car know, having the right people to call and point you in the right direction or get you the right parts is invaluable. While I am very proud of the fact that I built the car almost completely by myself, there were certain things that I just didn’t have the skills or tools to do properly. I must give a huge thank you to the people that helped me fulfill this dream.
First and foremost, I must thank Patti, Merri, and everyone at Firewheel Classics for putting up with me over the last two years. They have helped me so much with everything from the sheet metal for the body to my seats and interior, and even the little packs of screws and random little parts nobody thinks about. I couldn’t have done it without them.

For the Body Work, I had the guys at North Texas Customs do all of the cutting, welding, and sheet metal work on the car. They also withstood a large dose of my OCD, and I want to thank Tyler, Randy, and all their guys for all their help.

Roger and Jay at SpeedTech Performance in Utah were extremely helpful in designing and sourcing the major Pro Touring components for my build. They supplied me with all of my suspension, brakes, cooling, steering, wiring, headers, wheels, and tires. In addition, they were always available to give me advise and share their years of experience in building Bad Ass Pro Touring Rides!

Phoenix Transmissions in Weatherford, TX. is the best transmission shop I have ever dealt with. This is the third tranny they have built for me, and I won’t use anyone else.

While I did build the engine myself, I do have to recognize Machine Works in Greenville, TX. for doing such a great job on machining my short block and porting my heads.

Texas Speed and Performance in Georgetown, TX. were extremely helpful in designing the top end of my engine to give me exactly what I was looking for.

Car Wrap City in Carrollton, TX. did a fantastic job in helping make my car different from every other Camaro out there! It is amazing that most people don’t realize that the car is wrapped. I had it on display in front of SpeedTech’s trailer at Good Guys Texas this year, and everyone kept asking me who painted it!

Kinney’s Muffler Shop in Ft. Worth built an awesome custom exhaust for my car. I am extremely pleased with the quality, and the price!

Finally, I have to thank Fred Heckel from Fred’s Garage. He spent a great deal of time helping me get my @@$$%% door windows aligned. I know you all know what I am talking about. That had to be the most frustrating part of the whole build.
