HICKL Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 No, we don't do that kind of work. We are an oilfield manufacturing machine shop. We have some kick butt equipment, just not set up for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HICKL Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Tell me what you need and how much $ you have , and I'll tell you if I can make it. I made all my JTR mounts and stuff like that but that's all easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeper-Z Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 let's all meet up somewhere central! as for the connection, try to visit the local library they usually have fast connections. tjcannon is actually located in houston completing his swap into a z31, i highly recommend PM'ing him. http://hybridz.org/nuke/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=29662&highlight=z31 i can do basic porting and gasket matching, as well as powder coating! anyone here have a welder or a hook up on paint jobs?

HICKL Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I have a stick welder at home, a mig at work and a neighbor who is a master with a tig. What do you need done? Sleeper, I want that cowl hood that's in your pic, where did you get it? Are you looking to get a car painted or just some parts? I know a guy that paints on the side that did my car. He does pretty good work and is reasonable. If you guys want to hook up this weekend somebody call me at 281-572-2420. I will be around all weekend.

iaconsultants Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 My wife and I have a 78 Zbut it is still in LA, but should make the trip back here soon. We are on the hunt for a LS6 that we are going to drop in. I was thinking about doing the JTR mounts for the trans and then having some custom mounts built for the engine to keep it really low. Let me know if you guys are interested in a little extra business in welding and fitting. I will be glad to help out anywhere I can on my end. I know these old Z fairly darn well. Take care Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
