I guess I’m lucky that there are at least 6 shops within 3 hours of here that are more than capable of machining,building,dyno testing a very stout street/strip Pontiac and most of them don’t have websites or post on forums. We’re much more fortunate than the Buick/Olds group, those guys are out there too but not in the same numbers.
The thing is they are mostly older guys and a lot of them won’t be around in 10 years. That’s probably true of most shops today.

And lets not forget about the shops who post on forums that have shill posters playing up what great work they do. I know one builder in particular that me and 2 other guys caught and called out on another forum. May even be the same guy you are referring to.
