Stripmasters in Milton is a little farther west. They always have cars at Garlits show in Ocala. They did my Challenger, very happy. Ray Younkin knows Mopars,

They worked on a couple cars for me.Olds/Dodge.
Very nice paintwork .
I wouldn't say they are a Mopar shop.
They do all work, body mechanical interior.
They work on all types and years.
It's worth a ride over the bridge to check them out.

I used to work with Time Machines (now LexiJ) 934 Eden Ave. Hudson, Fl. They were the builders of the Mr. Norms modern Challengers and have done many pro touring type cars.

Amazing how a company goes out of business and screws vendors to then open up under a different name at the same address. If Mike calls you for parts, get paid first! He refuses to pay the $1,327.84 invoice for the parts he received from us because the company is out of business.
