Small world! So it was Hermann's. I haven't talked to him in too many years. I hope he is still tuning because he was one of the great ones. Back then, he was the only tuner I knew who tuned on the road. No dyno. Great guy.

Yeah, is Herman still around? I heard he was extremely good.
Really really nice guy. He painted this car 13-14 years ago and started a build on it and then tucked it in the corner of his shop and never touched again. It’s darn near perfect. I think he’s started doing mostly work with Acura NSX’s now.

Couple more looks at it. It’s a much truer blue than Sonic

I have a team of 5 techs/fabricators doing everything from full builds, to turbo fab to custom bent cages, you name it. Finally have everything I need in one spot to turn creativity into reality

That’s awesome. Truly happy for you.

Looks like all Ford stuff and I think I see a chevelle on the lift in the back.

I’m guessing that’s by choice? Seems too lopsided to be random.

I'm happy to see a car NUT, like myself crazy in all aspects, doing what they absolutely love to do. I always said that if you didn't have a shop you should. Being roughly 3 hours away, I'd love to swing by with a couple of my racing friends and check it out at some point. Hell, how far is the shop from Woodward? :)
I am serious about wanting to stop by and BS with you guys about cars and the shop at some point.

Does it have an auto transmission? I remember way back that Hermann told me that his Cobra was the first to get an auto transplant. Possible that he owned an earlier Cobra before buying the one that you now have.

I never even knew you had your own shop. That's an impressive setup you have, as are the services you provide. I wish you the best!!

The shops look sooo clean too
It sure does, Paul. A clean auto shop is kind of a rarity.

definitely. i love my sb, but it i has too much purple to be a true blue
Sonic Blue definitely has purple hues. I remember how good Sonic Blue looks under parking lot lights. A friend had one back in the day and the paint always impressed me. Sonic Blue still does.

Damn. I was really hoping he was still tuning in the Mustang scene. He was the only guy I ever let tune my Cobra. Car has been down for 13 years but is in the process of going back together and was hoping to get in touch with him for the tuning.

I wonder if he still dabbles with Mustangs at all?

I wonder the same thing. I thought he had "retired", but maybe not. I tried to Google his business but no luck.
