VanSenus has done a good job for us in the past and yes they are still in Hammond IN (very close to 80/94 and the IL state line). We haven't had any work done by Chenoweth Speed & Machine but have herd good things about them as well

The car was a consistent qualifier and held the NHRA record at one time. They also held the A/ED dragster record at one time. That was BBC powered. I personally use VanSenus for resto and mild builds and Opel for all out race builds. Bob 6475202-CarPic5.jpg (37 downloads)

They know what they are doing and will be there 110% for you. They will listen to you and do whatever it takes to make a customer happy and satisfied. They did my rear spring relocation kit among other things for me and I felt extremely pleased with the work they did. If you happen to talk to them, just tell either Jim or Norm you know Dave with the 67 red coronet... haven't had to talk to them in a while/need their services, but they should remember me.
