    Any shop recommendations? Preferably in west Phoenix. I want to get my 4v closed chamber Cleveland heads inspected and cleaned up.

    Joe at West Valley Machine
    519 West Western Ave
    Avondale 85323

    It's attached to the Napa Auto Parts building. Joe did my engine and is very good and reasonable. He can be a little slow so you just have to keep on him sometimes.

    If you go tell him you know me.

    Anyone up for Mavericks at the Kmart and 67th Ave show this Saturday night? I'm planning to go around 5:00 for a few hours.

    I went by there last Saturday at noon and there was a guy setting up! I don't know if I can make it, I'm volunteering at a dog agility meet and I don't know what time it ends. I'll swing by if I have an opportunity.

    Hey guys saw a real nice Ghia Mustang at the Pick a Part on Extension in Mesa. I took the console and e brake handle but left the floor shifter and buckets. They wanted 44$ each for the seats, no rips or tears that I could see. Just a few busted stitched and should clean up real nice. The car is sitting off the ground but its in a low spot in the yard so water has gathered, probably 6-10" making it difficult to get parts.[​IMG]
