HOWDY! If you are refering to parts then Don's in Tucson has been around for years. I think I heard there is now a SoCal shop in Phoenix area. If you are refering to having some fabrication work done then ask around the stock car guys to see who is doing what. Those dirt track guys are in the loop on that and since I got out of that in '89 I'm not connected anymore. There is a guy named Curt at Compton Motors in Casa Grande that maybe able to answer your questions. Gary 4T950 Chevy Guy
So-Cal Arizona aka: Vintage Ford & Chevrolet Parts of Arizona 3427 E. McDowell Rd. Phoenix, AZ 602-275-7990 800-732-0076 ElPolacko' shop is: Industrial Chassis, Inc. 3536 W. Osborn Rd. Phoenix, AZ 602-278-6800 Hot Rods by Dean 3615 North 35th Ave. Phoenix, AZ 602-455-9775 Don's Hot Rod Shop advertises in Street Rodder each month. There are others who advertise in the Roddin' & Racin' monthly newspaper. Does this help?

contact GRSMNKYCUSTOMS here on the hamb. he's got some awesome ideas swimmin' around in his head, he's very enthusiastic about what he does, and he's a cool guy to deal with.
up in your area, call steve (el polako on the hamb) he does great work. if you decide to ever come down to tucson, you can e-mail me at [email protected] and btw Dons hot rod shop in tucson is really only a dragster store, or caters to the draggers.
If you want first class metal work, contact Premier Frame and body on the west side. He does exceptional work for a reasonable price and the delivery times aren/t bad either.
In your area if you do not go to ElPalcko's you are making a huge mistake. Great guy and very fair and you will not get the run around.
O.K., if what you need is shop work, don't bother at So-Cal. Frank just sells parts. No service. I've talked to both Steve at Industrial and Dean at Hot Rods by Dean. I've heard good things about both. After my discussions, my first choice would be Steve (Elpolacko). Go do a search through the members section and look at his posts. You'll get an idea of how he thinks.
The Hotrods by Dean shop is getting the 2005 S.E.M.A Trendsetter award this year for a up and coming builder!!! They have projects from old school Hotrod's Influenced by "Magoo" to Pro-Touring going on there! I would check them out first!! Jus my .02
If ya want ta look in the tucson area try The Old Ford Store peter isinto the same as most of us or Wilswest rods next doorto peter both seem fair on prices and stock alot of stuff
Looks like Goodguys Scottsdale was good for Hotrods by Dean's customers and the shop itself!!! 2 Boyds Pro's picks, 1 for a 32 & 1 for a Magoo inspired 29.
