Thread: 1 Year Anniversary at new shop!

Hey guys, I appologize for not being around to help out much lately but everything has been extremely busy for us. We moved into a new location just over a year ago and has been a slow project but everything is up and running and we have been getting back into on-car work including custom 3800 S2 engine swaps and also upgrades. Transmission builds and parts orders have more than kept us very busy but as we continue to grow we are always taking on new projects and more workload. Everything is pretty well organized to be more efficient now, just takes some shuffling around to see how it will work. We are still ironing out how orders are handled and shipped and try our best to get everything out as we can but can get backed up pretty quick, especially with specialty parts. Everything is pretty much set up how we like it now and we are pretty much back on track. We would really like to help out more for the DIY crowd interested in tackling their own transmission rebuilds or having a local shop help out as we simply have not been able to keep up with the workload the past year or so and I feel terrible about the wait time some of you guys have had to wait and will likely continue to quote 4-6 week turnaround times on our High Performance rebuilds. We put together a few new kits to offer customers to do a rebuild on their own to help out and ultimately I feel this is the direction things are headed for a number of reasons. As always we offer tech support and are planning to come out with a few specialty tools in the near future for the 4T65E transmissions. Email is the best way to contact us and please keep your eyes on the Contact Info page on our website as there will likely be a few changes in the coming months including our phone number.

Thanks again for everyones continued support!

Have never heard of someone disappointed with your work. As long as the communication keeps up (and it sounds like you are doing fine there) your will continue to expand. Congrats and keep up the great work

Thanks guys

I am planning to do a bit more custom work and fabrication since we have more room now. Also shooting to get some machining equipment in the next few months so we can keep more things in-house. The Wbody market has definately died down the past few years but we are always open to entertain new ideas and suggestions for parts and fixes.

In that case... RWD swap kit for a GP?

Haha, I knew that one was coming sooner or later! No plans for that and you would have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it. If I do it to my GP I will gladly share. I thought I would lean more towards awd to retain the transverse arrangement and 4T65E by using the Volvo diff and transfer case. I honestly see a 4T80E making its way into a GP at our shop before ever playing with a prop shaft to the rear of the car.

Awd would be a sweet custom job to see, but asspensive no doubt

Good to see you post on the boards Dave. Guess I'll have to change my saying from "call Dave" to "email Dave".

What are you guys mainly doing at your shop besides 4t65e transmission rebuilds?

We do pretty much anything but mainly upgrades and custom/specialty work as well as transmission installs. Planning to do more fabrication and offer mounts and parts to retrofit 3800s into other rwd vehicles. Modified rwd M90 housings have been in the hot seat since we built the M90 99 Firebird so that is one of the first things that I hope to start getting back on top of.

some mounts to transplant an L67 into a '54 chevy pickup as well as an adapter for a T56 trans to bolt onto it would be spiffy. it's a shame you're so far away.

DAVE.

You let me know next time your comin out here...btw...hope you enjoy the texts you'll be getting tonight from Jay's LOL

Any upgrades for 7/8's chain?
