Holy hell those jeeps came out amazing!!! I know a lot of people will not like the wheel setups as they would be nerve-wracking offroad, but i have to say they definitely mimic the products that come out of your shop. Beautiful work as always.

The Jeeps look nice, did you put lockers on them as well?

No we didn't. This are the cute jeeps one drives on the street!! On some of them we have put 4.88 gears. We did one a week ago where we put the big 13" brakes on on 4 corners so the wife could stop the jeep with 37's on it.


20x12s? The white jeep is badass. Makes me want to pimp out mine some more!

Let me know what you need. I have a bunch of Poison Spyder and DV8 bumpers, fenders, and parts in stock. I have an eBay store and selling some things there as well. I can free ship most stuff to you!

Wow love the jeeps. Mine does not see much more than "mall crawling " but the wife and I love commuting in it. I don't post much but do spend way to much time on here reading all of these amazing threads including yours. Truly impressive work. How do you feel about people stopping by? I only ask because I am on vacation with my wife and kids in Bradenton and would love the chance to see some of you work in person?

I love it when the GJ guys come by and visit. I think it puts it in better perspective when people stop by because you don't realize how much is really going on. Come by any time.

A big shout out to derek1976 for taking time out of his vacation to come by the shop and visit. A real great guy and glad to have met Derek in person.:thumb:

We have been installing quite a few of the Holley Sniper EFI systems. We really love them and see some huge benefits in installing them. We have installed one in a 61 Olds, 56 Belair, and a 66 Chevelle. Quick start with the turn of the key and throttle response is excellent. they look great too......out of the box pretty easy set up and install. Its not meant for an ametuer as we have installed much more complicated systems and this one goes in quite well.



Check out the 65 Malibu in the booth. To be quite honest I stole the color choice from a car i saw at SEMA this past year. I think it going to be fantastic. The color is going to be "brick". It will be an interesting combination.

Does the sniper efi require a high pressure pump in the tank?
Are there any inline options for the pump?

The master kit comes with an inline fuel pump, fuel line, and everything you need. If you want to know any more about it give me a call at the shop at 941-993-1712. I can get Doug on the phone as he is the expert. I also might have one in stock if you need one. They are hard to come by so I have 5 more systems on order.

Thanks for showing me around Mark. You rock :rocker: .
I have to say you and your guys do amazing work. Absolutely flawless. Definitely one of the highlights of my vacation. Next time I'm down I am definitely stopping by again to see you. Thank you so much for the hospitality.
Derek.

Well, I finally was able to stop by, Mark was good enough to take a few minuites to chat and give me the dollar tour.

I felt like I've been there before due to Marks detailed posts here. It was everything I expected and much more, it's just unbelievable the quality of what they do there, top notch, and it's all in house.
Everyone I spoke to talked to me like Ive know them for years and just right off the bat started talking about the specific task they were doing. One thing that I like is one of his guys telling me just about everyone there could do any part of the work on a car there.

And I got to meet the famous Megan, what a sweetheart! When Mark says she keeps them in line, you better believe it.

Mark, you have a great balance of a first class operation with a down to earth atmosphere.

Thanks again and it was the highlight of my week. I'll be by again!

I need to get down there for the nickle tour myself. My friend Harold was just in and saw your shop. I was the guy who asked on his Facebook post if he got to see the garage at your house... :)

I hope so. I was surprised when you asked Harold if he saw my garage. I really got a kick out of it because I didn't know you knew him.:thumb:

Craig, thank you so much for stopping in. It meant a lot to me and appreciate your taking time.........even if we had to take a photo in front of a Ford!!

Took the 65 Corvette for the first ride today. Wow is it awesome. Quite frankly I like it better than my 63 split window for a few reasons. First, it is not lowered as much as mine was so it rides better. The 6 speed automatic is awesome and smooth.......much better than the hydraulic clutch and 6 speed I had. Shifting gears to me is not a necessity when driving a cool car. Last, the braking on this vette is the best system I have ever put on a resto mod. We used the hydrotech booster and wow does this car stop on a dime.

Vette turned out great. Nice work.

thank you!

That Vette is gorgeous!

thanks!

We didnt paint the 67. I think its a House of Kolors blue Candy. Its beautiful but you would want the right guy painting it.

Have you ever put one of those sniper efi's on a big block ford?


We are getting ready to do a couple small blocks. As long as you are under 650 HP you would be OK. If you need one let me know as I have 4 more units coming soon.

That Vette is awesome, I know you will treat us to more pictures than that!

Yes I have a ton of pictures. :thumbup:

As always, your work is impeccable. I am not ready for the EFI yet. I just pulled the truck into my workshop, have a lot to do to it before the sniper upgrade. It's a 1958 Ranchero with an FE engine and C6 transmission, someone else started it, I'm finishing it. I will probably be looking for one at the end of the summer.

thanks so much. When you are ready just give me a call!

Here is another shot of the interior.....Oh, the center console is raised up about 3/4" with an LED light under it all he way back. It acts as the interior lighting.

Mark, as I recall, the owner was looking for a little refresh. This is over the top gorgeous, inside and out. I notice there's no cup holder in the console. Good idea because I doubt drinkable fluids will be welcome inside.

Very Cool pictures of the interior. Is that Center Console 3-D Printed? What material is it made out of?

Its expanded PVC plastic. We buy it in 4 x 8 sheets and it is cut with a router.

Hey guys......hope you are all having a great memorial day weekend. I know most of us are going to be spending much time in our garages. I am looking forward to hanging out in mine all weekend. My wife and I took a cruise out to Siesta Key beach tonight. We had so much fun we are going to head back out tomorrow in our Jeep.

Just finished up with the thread. Crazy that building an over the top garage spiraled into everything you have going on now, hard work pays off. Gave your FB page a like and will be following both from here on out. Keep up the good work, Mark.
