Hey Guys here is my full write up on my engine build story and experience with VTR. Well some of you guys know while on my way down to Florida I blew my motor up in South Carolina. It was a real pain in the butt; lucky for me no one got hurt and a nice guy pulled over help us call the police and get a tow truck. He even offered to hold the car at his house so that we didn’t have to pay storage fees and it was right off the high way where we were. I know most people would be hesitant to do so seeing that I don’t know this guy at all but I took a chance and got the car towed to his house about 5min from where we broke down. Well I have to say there is still some kind people in the world, His mother drove us all the way to Georgia to rent a car so that we could get where we had to go. I was pretty bummed out about the whole thing, so I chalked it up to shit happens and let just fix it and move on. So when we finally got to my cousins house in Florida I gave Vinny a call at VTR and told him what happened. He reassured me not to worry and that they would work with me to get my baby back on its feet and better than ever. He said that this gives me the opportunity to build something epic that I could really enjoy every day, take to the track and never have to worry about it. So that eased my mind so that I could enjoy the rest of my trip and start planning how I would get my car back home. So my brother found a truck and trailer from budget rental to carry my car back home. After driving 19 hours we showed up at VTR with my poor car behind. Well I have to say they really took care of me at VTR they always kept me in the loop with what was going on. They worked with me so that did not have to buy anything that I did not need to keep cost down and they delivered what they told me they would a 500+ car that runs and drives mint. I have to say that VTR is one of the only shops in my experience that has not given me a headache or problem with work done to my car they always go above and beyond what they have to do. Well here are some shots of the build and stay tune for the video that Rocky is putting together on VTR’s Website VinnyTenRacing.com.

Vinny is one of the best - he was patient with me through everything and to this day he is the only person i allow to touch my car which means alot as he is over 6 hours away.

since we're on the topic of VTR

because I know you would need a good machinist for this kinda build and I dont know if this was something that VTR offered
