So this is where things start to slow down. It's probably late probably mid to late August by this time. And I'm on the hunt ... the hunt for a quality fabricator.
Like dont get me wrong I can tack two pieces of metal together, but when it comes down to something such as a roll cage or fuel tank cradle i know that's beyond my current set of skills.
So like any amature serial killer I started close to home, asking customers and shops I work with for recommendations checking out their recommendations and using those recommendations to get more recommendations until I finally found the fabricator I'm going to be using.
After being in and out of so many shops looking for the right fit I knew once I walked into his shop I had found the one. It was a small-ish shop but inside all along the back wall was s13 and s14's some in for custom exhaust work some in for full cages and others there to get tubed front ends. On one lift he had an absolutely astonishing s13 coupe with a 2jz in for a full custom exhaust custom intercooler and some other odds and ends. In the middle of the floor was a saucy little miata. And when you walked through the big roll up door on the side their was bmws supras rx7s and about 10 trucks for custom bumpers and skid plates. He at the time was a sole proprietor and his waiting list was out all the way to the last week of February of this year and required a deposit to get put on the list.
So after saving up I was finally able to make the deposit payment and get on the waiting list. Well in the midst of saving up I had decided I'd save up and get some key items I'd want to have fabrication work done on, such as my fuel cell and tucked radiator.
It's now late November and chasebays just dropped their black Friday sale. So I decided to splurge and get their tucked radiator as well as their steel braided power steering line brake booster eliminator and clutch master cylinder.
So now I was on a time crunch. And with out having liquid finances I needed to find other things to occupy the time.
