The place in Vinton is Vinton Fab and Welding. They are in the phone book. They do all our karts and other stuff. Very good work, and usually only takes a few days.

I've never been there but i was looking for someone to powdercoat a few things. I plan on checking them out....when my insufficient funds become sufficient.

he does good work....but dont ask Dan or Chris about him....for some reason, the stuff they sent there turned out shitty.


all the work i have had done from there is beautiful (it was on a concours restoration car) but i know of two people that had bad experiences with him. that is the only two i have heard of, but nonetheless, i pass it on for others.

I may have to hit you up for that sometime in the future. I need four stock wheels and tires first though.

Yea my valve cover was done by blue storm auto in a trans red color, and jesus there were a rediculous amount of flaws all over, not small ones either, but just flat out FLAWS. There were thick spots, oil marks, tons of spots that werent fully coated at all, a huge masking tape mark, and mixing from the chrome and the red, just a horrible job all over. He apologized however when I asked for a refund and he promptly refunded my money and media blasted the cover clean for me, so in the end I didnt lose anything but my time.
