Wow...a power washer and nylong bristle brushes...no thanks.

Hey Flim - I went to your shop's website. The dyno tuning - is it mostly for detroit iron or is there anybody in the shop who knows his way around tuning Bosch CIS to work with lumpy cams?

FlimFlam those are very impressive. I wish I had the tools/time/patience to make my car look like that.

Dude in the army left his car in his driveway, w/ no cover, for over 6 months.

Ok Flim, now let me ask you this: what would you charge to detail an engine bay? Forgot to screw down the pour-oil-here opening in my valve cover...and drove like that...with the hood closed...while I like to do my own detailing, I'm not really looking forward to tackling that.
