Gauging Interest
I am planning on opening a tune/performance shop here in so cal. What would you guys like to see in my shop. Custom paint, dyno, performance parts, audio/video, etc. Feel free to add stuff to the thread and throw out ideas, this will only benifit you. You know you dont want everyones car, you want your car.
get a mandrel bender, cnc machine and a lathe. tig, mig, arc, heli arc, oxy acetylene welder. and i'll just come to your shop to use your equipment
free supercharger and accessories as payment
well cars getting worked on so far are as follows...not exactally in order...

I don't know how to weld but I've used a few of the machines Jimbo mentioned.
Sometimes I wonder why I picked being a corpsman over something mechanical. On a side note, never ask my help with electrical crap
I loath it...
Lots of great ideas guys, this is helping out alot to make this a sucessful shop. I kije the idea of everyone fighting to get there cars into the shop. I will more than likely be able to work on more than one at ta time.
Im planning on a haveing a car carrier and a limo service. so people that have a distance to travel or need a ride bak home, you will be covered.
This is probaly the only advertising this shop will have, i like the word of mouth better

I wanna buy a few of these to protptype parts or sell off the mototr when its complete
i went to the GM website and they sell the 2.0 and the 2.2
but not the 2.4
. Guess i will have to find a used one or wait a little longer. Cant wait to get these built up. Im gonna need a engine dyno to now.

Really? Why is that, I love playin with all that stuff(on older cars) however new cars like our balts and all of that computer stuff i don't have a clue. ...but adding a stereo component or a gauge or something of that nature is easy.
