A good machine shop?

Ryan_65Stallion · 12-04-2007, 01:00 PM

Does anyone here know of a reasonable but good machine shop?
I have a pair of 302 I need to get checked and cleaned up.
Around how much would that cost?

Your better off calling, those dudes are always busy, sometimes, when I was there, the phone would ring off the hook...

The did all my machine work and did a great job. (Kotzur)

**thesource** · 12-07-2007, 06:47 PM

Shoot me PM ..... I have a guy that can take care of you quickly and reasonably .

**Sonic Blue 85** · 12-08-2007, 11:25 AM

If you are in the San Antonio area I would use Mission, they are very good,they know what they are doing, will get your stuff done quickly and there prices are reasonable. Talk to Danny. John and Tom Hamilton have been building fast Fords for longer than most of the people on this site have been around. Mission's ph 1-210-921-2803. Craig Pullin is in San Marcos, he also knows his stuff. He has a small shop on Staples Rd, but builds some of the fastest cars in COTTS, his Nova regularly beats the boys with the big bucks. Craig's ph 1-512-396-1957. Kotzur is good but,but not good enough to justify the wait on getting your parts back and it will cost you more.
