In no particular order, here are few words of wisdom from decades of experience working with hot rods:
•When you are updating & improving any vehicle, you MIGHT have to do things you did not anticipate
•Modifying a vehicle MAY require other modifications
•You are going to go over budget
•Tell your wife about the increase in comfort & reliability, not the THRILLING white-knuckle handling
•Do it right the first time
•Buy American-made products
•Take your time
•Measure 3 times
•Not sure about something, give us a call, 865-951-2081
•Review your invoice at time of order
•Inspect your order as soon as it is delivered
•Don’t wait years to install your parts
•You’re not getting any younger and you can’t take your money with you
•A Mustang II, Crown Vic, S10 frame or the like, is not the right way
