There are lots of talented builders on this website.
I've talked to Tyler (ATS) a bunch of times over the years and I would trust him to build my car. It just happens that Ironworks is located in Calif and that was a huge factor for me when picking a builder.

Granted, Bakersfield is every bit as far away as Reno but, when your building a car such as the ones on this site....I think you're damn lucky to find a builder that close.

I've spoken with Roger half a dozen times over the past couple weeks and I feel like I'm in very good hands.

You can't go wrong with either of these two shops.

Thanks Rodger. I am familiar with your work from seeing you on this site. Very nice stuff indeed.

I will give you a ring if it gets to a point where I need to pull the trigger on someone else finishing it. I am also thinking that once it gets down to it, there likely shouldn't be that much left to do and thus preferring to keeping it more local. But we'll see....

thanks for posting

These parts are new in the box.

Classic Auto Air
DSE Wiper kit
DSE battery relocation Kit
Synister serpentine kit
Ron Davis radiator
Hydroboost
Fuel lines, fittings ect.
T56 trans
Mcleod clutch pressure plate ect
ATS mounts
Fully built LS2
FAST ignition system
Gauges, console
Install interior (interior already done.)


Fabrication work being done by ironworks:

Smooth firewall
Sub frame connectors
Mini Tub
Bend / install brake lines


I've done a lot of work to the car including the front and rear suspension and fixed a lot of things the previous owner butchered.

Rodger said they could complete everything in about 90 days before I decided to tub it.

Some shops would keep your car for more than a year with less work than this.
