I cant remember who it was that you said comes and works on sorting out the shop. I'll tell you what, it looks 10,000 times better than the last time I was there. Good job to (insert your name here) for the hard work.

Stupid internet provider blocked this site from my shop. I was finaly able to get it fixed today. the new shop is starting to take shape finaly. we have been busting butt to get things done and out to make room for others that are still outside. this has been the hardest move ever. most of you know I have had a lot of life chainging things happening all at once but it is getting better every day. I am happy with the way things are working out.
I know a few of you have been waiting for parts or responces to PM's and I will respond to all of them today. as far as people that we owe parts to I will get them out this week and then some to make up for the lost time. thank you all for the love and support you have shared with us it is not taken lightly.

so been going crazy trying to get cars done. we have 4 3800 swaps going at once and 2 are almost done just waiting on the headers to get back from the coater. one is an NA with power steering and the other is a 3800 Trubo car that should be a kick in the pants to drive. once we get the headers back on it I will post up some pics. it was a lot of work to get the exhaust to run in the bay with no cutting to the car. one of the others is a gen 3 3800 as well as a gen 2 swap.
we have decided once we are done with what we have in shop we will no longer do kit cars, they take way too long and we loose money on them. we will still do the custom Fieros, engine swaps and service but we are also doing hot rods, drag cars and other customs.
fieros will always be our core work.

here are some pics of the turbo 3800 car from last week. D.
custom intake I built, the car also has a full stack intercooler.
we are having it powdercoated black wrinkle finish and have made a custom badge for it that I will post up once we get it back as well.
here is a full shot of the set up, we used a presision 76mm turbo coated the hot side with Jet hot and Tial 50mm BOV as well as a Tial 46mm Waistgate and custom built headers with 3" exhaust.

I finally got motivated and got around to finishing the install of the RX-8 mirrors.
The passenger side is perfect, but the driver's side may need a little reworking down the line to be just as perfect.
For now it looks good and is functional, but before i get it painted i may have you tweek it, and also figure out a way to make the power option usable.
Thanks again.

Hey Dean, I've sent you a few emails and PM's about the low alt mount bracket I returned that was partially finished and haven't heard back from you yet. Just seeing if you've gotten it yet and when you'll be sending out the new new bracket.

the new turbo pics. they do it no justice, it looks way better in person. it was a lot of fab work involved in this one to get it all to fit and work with no cutting.
Wow Awesome work as usual Dean!!! I can see that nothing is impossible for you at Whodeanies. I cant wait to see it in person! I know that the owner will be very pleased

I was over to the shop today dropping off what I promised Dean back in Nov. of last year. (I would've delivered it earlier but that's when everything was going on. So I waited.) They've pretty much got the shop sorted. Still some work to do on that. Lots of cars being worked on. One even went out the door while I was there. Kermit is hiding in a corner waiting for all his parts to finally show up.
been slammed as of late working on 4 cars at once trying to get them out. I need an office manager! I can not run the office and work in the shop at the same time. we have been so slammed that I have not even been taking phone calls. please if you need something from me and I do not pick up leave me a VM and I will call you back if you do not I will not! parts for swaps are no hold for the time while we finish up these cars. please understand we want to be here for a long time but we got way to far backed up and need to get things finished before we can take on any new projects at this time. D.
I really hope one of those cars is mine... I really do miss it

we are back to no more new projects until the ones in shop are done. we have no room in the new shop and I hate that some of these cars have taken way too long. once the cars we have are done we will only be taking on 2 or 3 at a time. no more 10 or 20 D.

I know all 4 of them and mine is the 4th one thats going to be done next. I spoke with Dean and the 3 currently ahead of mine is very close to being done. Maybe all will be done by the end of the week. Ive been the most patient because mine was the very first car in Deans shop since he opened the shop. This is going to be the next one on his list. Sorry guys. Its worth being patient because I would rather have it done right by Dean then to have someone rush through it and have problems later on down the road. Patient everyone he will get to it.

I am pretty sure two of them will be done by the end of the week. Mine and I think the NA 3800 car. IIRC Dean said mine would be going to the Dyno on Tuesday morning and then he would bring it down to Panama City that weekend.
Whoever owns the NA 3800 pictured earlier, that is the best looking 3800 NA swap I have ever seen.
This one:
