Cliff Reigle from Ashland City, Tennessee picked up his completely refurbished "New" Camaro this week, and his car came out just flat beautiful... Years of racing the Camaro were starting to take their toll on the 1st Gen Camaro, so Cliff had B & B totally redo the warrior from top to bottom, and the results were a stunning improvement! Cliff runs the car in NHRA Super Stock F/Automatic and he's been racing "forever" he says and can't wait to take the car to Louisville to a race this weekend.

| |  Here's a photo just to show we do get out of the shop on occasion!
Darren drove the Stancil / Caro
Stratus last weekend in Memphis and was the #1 Qualifier out of 66 cars! Unfortunately some technical difficulties prevented him from making it past the first round, but the car was definitely running well. We also had a great time hanging out with our customers at Memphis - there were 9 of them there and it was good to see everyone! Don't forget we're approaching the time of year when we're going to get very busy and the waiting list will grow. So if you're thinking about having a new car built, don't waste any time giving us a call. From here on the list will be growing quickly... |

We're also finishing up a customers Top Sportsman car, it's getting the wing and sheetmetal work completed.
