Vacaville Performance

After much soul searching I have decided I will not be building any engines for street cars anymore. I am done. I will only take on full drag race intended engines, where people understand what goes into one, and not tying my hands on budget and time. Unfortunately too many people expect way too much for very little $$. Building engines has become a very expensive and involved undertaking, taking the sparce machine shops, especially in California, and price points with what I call "big box" store engines. I cannot and will not compete. I am way too old for the stress. I owe these people nothing. We will concentrate on what we do best and that actually makes a profit. I find it unfortunate that some people seem to think they are entitled to pretty much "demand" what they will pay for a build. I say,...do it yourself. I know this sounds harsh, but we live in a different world.

Por-15 is a great way to stop and prevent rust from older floorboards. This '55 was in need of a treatment.
