Thanks for the kind words!


If SpeedTech's work is remotely as good as their pictures are (sadly I've never knowingly seen one of their builds in person) you are in great hands. ...now if they would just hurry up and post up some destruction / rebuild pictures so those playing at home can learn how to build a proper car.
Lucky for me Blake and Roger and Jay have been friends for a long time..... and they DO build sweet cars!! And build sweet subframes and suspension parts..... and Blake is a drag racer — Jay is a road racer.... so they know what they’re doing and have some great guys in the shop.

While I’ve never had them build a car for me — I originally asked Sutton to use them to build this car - as they were one of the listed builders in the catalog — but like EVERYTHING Sutton ever did — that was all just smoke and mirrors — since he’d never really actually discussed with them what’s what.... and when the time came — they were very upfront about “can’t build it for that” and “can’t build it in that timeframe”. Well — IMHO — Sutton NEVER intended for anyone to build his crap except his one buddy (Randy)..... and Randy had NEVER built a car like this...... or anything even close. It shows. LOL


I can assure you that if they (SpeedTech) had built the car — we wouldn’t have these issues.... because they would have never built such junk. They’d have either refused to build it “his way” — or we would have had behind the scenes discussions about what it was that “I” wanted etc. Water under the bridge now.....

Holy crap I can’t believe it’s that bad. That’s just nuts and how the hell did he Scan so many people.

I’ll be the first one to say Hay, I build my cars with a army of people that know what there doing and if I don’t know what I’m doing I don’t try to convince myself or god forbid someone else that I do.

Till this day I still lean on my car friends for help when I get stumped or just go way off in never never land with my crazy ideas.

I hoping you can get this car back to being a race-car as you have a ton of nice parts that just need an intelligent group of guys to get it running and I’m confident the guys at speed tech are the guys.
