With Road Killer Kustoms closing up shop (and that's a real shame!),
The ONLY builder down there I would trust would be Frank and the Prodigy Customs Crew!

^^^I'm not leg humping - just the honest truth!^^^^

I dont know Frank from George Washington but from what he posts and what he offers and what people say,he is the man to go to.For him to offer free planning for people is a sign he is in it for more than just the money.just seems like he lives the job and you would be happy with his shop.i think his son runs day to day ops doesnt he?goodluck whichever you choose.

Good thoughts here!

Tell you what.... I met Frank (Prodigy) for the first time at SEMA this year. A group of Lat G guys met up one night after the show. We got into a "fuel" discussion about electric pumps etc... Personally I love discussions like this because if you listen you learn. So Frank and Mark Steilow start talking these systems and I was thinking that Frank was a "body and paint guy" -- but tell you what -- He's been around all this stuff and knows what the hell he's talking about. He's not just a pretty face. His shop has a wide product line - tires - wheels - suspension.... he's got exhaust guys - paint - etc... and if I lived anywhere near there - that's where I'd be hanging out.

road killer kustoms is not shutting its doors. They are downsizing, and eliminating over head, and bad customers. Its been a hard year for most who are in business for themselves, David is just taking steps to make sure his DOORS STAY OPEN. To me thats a good business move, you cannot force a business.
Good luck, if I were you I would chat with a few of them and then go to who you feel best about.

p.s- road killer got robbed 2-3 weeks ago, about cleaned the shop out of all their high dollar hand tools,(15k) so if anyone could use some good fortune and work, it would be them. He has a really cool 69 he is building now with full suspension on it, and all the other details, call him and go check it out, he is close enough

Jake, thanks for the info! Good to hear David isn't closing the doors! He does outstanding work!

That's terrible that he got robbed! I wish him the best on that recovery!

Thanks for the update on Killer Kustoms. I hope they make it through the tough times. Sorry to hear about the robbery too. That just sucks!
If they are in fact staying open then they would be a great place to take a look at as well.

If I was looking for a house painter - and called a guy that was "recommended" and he could come paint my house the next day... I wouldn't use him. Personally - I want the guy that has so damn much work - that I have to wait and get in line... THAT is the guy I want.

I find that's true in Real Estate as well. Even if I'm at the bar on a Thursday afternoon, I act like my schedule is full because that's what everybody wants to hear. Image is everything.

Thumbs up

I agree with the other guys that Frank is the guy to go to!!
ALWAYS do your own homework though. Frank is a member here and a vendor as well and knows his stuff.
GOOD LUCK!!
