Vertigo is now at Gearhead Garage! - Lateral-g Forums

**Flash68** · #1 11-16-2008, 08:02 PM

As several of you know, I decided recently to move my car to a shop who has more experience and can handle my project. Nothing against the previous small one-man operation that was working on my car, but the progress just wasn't happening. So after almost 2 years I pulled it and this weekend is was move to Gearhead Garage in Sacramento - and a Lateral-G sponsor. The owner Jason and the shop was highly recommended by 2 local guys here on the forum also with 1st gen Camaros (Mazspeed and Mdprovee) and it was important to me to have the car closer to me this time around. I can be at the shop now in 1:15.

See www.gearheadcars.com and check out Jason's killer website.

Also, "Vertigo" has personal meaning to me and motivated me to do a project of this magnitude. Of course I just didn't think it would take 2+ years!

I am stoked to have the car in the new location now and my enthusiasm is now back to where it should be. Here's a couple pics.

Jason getting right to work!

Safely in the new shop in Sacramento

I can't express how happy I am for you! I know how bummed you have been with the drawn out project and I'm sure those days are well behind you! Having it close to home will be nice, you can stop by and check things out, and if they have a question you can schedule a visit and make a decision in person...can't beet that!

Keep the updates coming!! Any idea of when the car will be finished?

Thanks Tony. I am so glad both of us are in good hands now!

Timeline depends on how fast I can throw $ at it. So... that could mean January on the fast side, and Feb/March on the slow side. The goal is to have it possibly done for the AutoRama in Sac in early Feb, but if not then, definitely by Good Guys in March.

Sounds like it will be finished fairly quickly! This is good!

Flash,

The car looks nice and it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel for you. Keep us posted

Thanks guys. Yes things seem to be on the right track again.

Good job and good call. Jason is a great guy to work with and it's always important to have the work done locally if possible. CAR is another great choice but further away, but you will like Jason's commitment. I never know you had 69 rear tails on a 68 body.

Thanks Mike. Yeah I feel pretty damn good about it.

The 69 tails from Marquez I just had to have, and to my knowledge, I am the only one who has fabbed them into a 68 tail.
