Harrisonburg has a speed/fab shop finally

[Steve85]

...And apparently it's been there for a year. Not sure how I missed it.

JL Fabrication
1187 N. Liberty St. 540-434-4193 or 540-271-2870

Also in the shop is a early 90's Vette that does both road and drag racing.

Just down from them, about 100', is a semi-speed shop. More for the V8 carb crowd.
.

That was my Vette in there. They are doing hand built headers, full exhaust, modifying my valve cover to fit the wiper motor and building a bracket for my vacuum pump.

The fabricator is Rob and his welds are awesome. They charge half what AR Fab does. His first job for me was to seriously modify my existing headers (for standard 23 degree chevy heads) to work with my 18 degree heads. No small feat, several shops turned it down.

Here are some pics of the work he has done so far...
(1 7/8" Primaries into 3 1/2"collectors, 3" back to 2 1/2" mufflers)











The speed shop built my 434. Theya re actually known for their work on Thunderbird Turbo Coupes and he think he holds a couple 1/4 mile records with them. Thye cut open the manifolds port them and weld'em back. They modified my carb manifold for EFI...



I saw the Mustang as he was building it...bad ass. Built pretty much from scratch.

The fab shop used to be E&E Auto Sales and Service owned by John Estep and they specialized in BMW.
