Finally got the place open, atleast half the shop. Still waiting on final work to be completed on the dyno this sunday and DRYFT Motorsports will be ready this coming week. Im planning on an official "grand opening" of sorts with a car show/discount dyno day most likely weekend after next. Should have some nice cars there. If you guys are around feel free to come on in and bug me, and justin too since he'll start working there monday.

I wish you all the best man. If you need someone to clean rims, I am your man.

- Mike - 07-22-2006

looks great! i really hope everything works out for you.

NICE! Those Challenger lifts are nice. We have 3 of their two posts and one 4 post. If you ever need to get a cheap lift, like when you wear one out doing oil changes (I assume you will be doing that) look into Rotary brand lifts. They are cheap and work great! Was it a dealership before you got it?

- DRYFT - 07-22-2006

thanks for the support!

Yea the lift with the dyno is a rotary, I like it. Will probably get more of those if I need to add. The place was a john deere service shop a few years ago, in really really bad shape. I dont know if they delt with customers or not but I personally wouldnt let customers into such a dingy place. Slowly getting more people coming in, hope to be going full capacity within a month.

that's awesome! I really hope you are successful out there.

- Goodspeed - 07-22-2006

The shop looks great, I'm very impressed with your progress! That checkered floor area looks like a good place to park a demo vehicle, maybe your Z06?? Nice work

- white_2kgt - 07-22-2006

How come you didn't just dig a hole for the dynojet?

Congrats on opening the place!

- Chris - 07-22-2006

looking pretty nice! I'm sure a lot of guys in MM would be willing to help out at times and you should come out and advertise at our car show in the spring.

- BLINGMW - 07-23-2006

wow, I bet that's exciting! Looks like a big shop, hope it makes you millions 8)
