If you go into Havana, turn left at the first red light (hwy 12 to Quincy). At the caution light (NAPA on the left) turn right (159N to Bainbridge). We are about one mile on the right. You will pass a big nursery (May--one of my customers!) and then a small nursery with half barrell green houses. This will all be on the right. Our shop is right after the green houses, it sits 700 feet back off the road, but you should see the mach. Any of you is welcome to stop by at any time.

Ohhh, there is no sign. All my business is word of mouth! :D

Are you the manager up there? No, I just account for the labor. There is only two of us. My boss, who has done this shit all his life (even used to run at Tallahassee Dragway), and me. For those that don't know, I graduated from FSU in 98 with a degree in mechanical engineering, and have been a professional mechanic since then. I have not mentioned this much because "freebies" are going to be hard to swing at my shop.

Eric Auto shop. We do some small scale welding. We have a mig, but I can't weld aluminum.

If you need the best welds around, I know a guy who can TiG weld two razor blades together. He does all the gunsmith work for us. The man is a genious, a true craftsman

Does he weld exhaust stuff? I might be getting rid of a certain catalitic converter and nobody seems to want to touch the thing. Also, if he does do exhaust related stuff, Ive got a project for him if he is up to it and if he doesnt mind working on a Z28.;)

Do you do "exhaust"?

I have welded some pipes together, but I don't have a bender. If it were me, I would try and tackle all of the things I have seen going on here--cam swaps, engine swaps, exhaust swaps, etc. My boss, unfortunately, sees everything as a liability. When he retires and if I take over, then watch out. We will have a new speed shop around here!!
