RIP Nick. He took time out of his day to discuss, in detail, how he would build a 400-based stroker for my Scamp. He knew I was on the fence with regard to keeping the car/building the engine vs. selling the car, but he still spent time discussing details, options, costs, etc... He didn't have to do that, but he did, and he was gracious about it. That's service that is hard to find these days. A true credit to the car community in general.

Nick was truly one of the most genuine people I have ever met. No matter what was going on he would talk and answer questions or give advice. As a person he was great. As a business man he was the best. He always gave all options and explained his ideas. I will miss speaking to him. When I called the shop today and spoke with his son and received the news I was at a total loss for words. My you find peace and your family find closure with your loss. Your friend Joe from philly.
