Q: Will I get the same quality of work at your shop as I would at the larger facilities?
A: The size or location of the building does not dictate the quality of work. The shop needs to
be equipped to handle the work and the employees need to possess the skill and experience necessary
to perform the required work. Being a smaller shop I am able to interact with the customer directly. I
have lower overhead, which directly reflects in the price the consumer pays, and have strict control
over quality. We have the same or better equipment as most of the other shops.

Q: What is your welding experience?
A: I have welded for 26+ years. I worked for two years at a welding shop and learned every
type of welding process and many fabrication techniques. I have taken numerous job related welding
classes, including an advanced welding class at the local college that included TIG.

Q: What is your drag racing/high performance background?
A: I have been involved with muscle cars and drag racing since 1978.

Q: How has your paint and body experience helped in race car construction?
A: With the extremely tight (less than one mm. in some cases) frame/structure tolerances in
late model vehicles, you must be able to duplicate the factory build tolerances without their elaborate
assembly jigs when repairing a wreck or replacing factory frame rails and welded on parts. A lot of
todays high end cars do not have any, or very little adjustment in the suspension alignment (other than
toe), therefore it is imperative that the structure be correct and the welded brackets and parts be located correctly. Through years of experience I learned how to take accurate measurements and develop a build plan/sequence that will reproduce those tolerances. This has led to fabrication techniques that are directly relative to building everything from roll cages to full tube chassis. Even making patterns and templates for brackets and lexan windows benefit. This is the also same way Skinny Kid Racecars got its start.

Q: What precautions are taken to ensure the body restoration and paint work you perform will last?
A: With my 30+ years in the paint and body industry, I have received extensive training, from
all the major paint manufacturers and suppliers. We use only the best materials available. In those 30+
years, I have seen what works and what doesn't, and have repair procedures that rival or exceed any
body/paint shop anywhere. We also use a state of the art refrigerant style compressed air drying system
to ensure a clean, dry air supply. Moisture is the number one enemy of bare metal and primers/paint
systems. Our compressed air is surgical quality and will not cause premature paint failure. There are
very few of these types of systems in use, mainly because they are cost prohibitive, but we have
invested in this system to ensure the quality JCR Chassisworks demands of itself.

Q: How do you get the quality of paint work you do without a paint booth?
A: I learned to paint in the mid-eighties when most shops did not have booths yet. Painters
back then did not have a choice but to learn how to produce quality paint work without one. Although a
booth increases production, it is not a requirement for a quality paint job if the painter knows how to
achieve the same results without one.

Q: What training or certifications do you have?
A: Extensive General Motors training including, body/paint procedures, frame
alignment/repair and measuring, welding, air bags, electrical system repair, A/C systems and general
mechanic classes. I have been through all the major frame machine companies classes, laser measuring
classes, ICAR gold certified, ASE classes, certified to spray all major paint manufacturers products,
numerous welding classes.

Q: You seem to be very religious. Do you preach to your customers or harass them about their lifestyles?
A: The word religion in the Greek language actually means to be bound again. It is the rules
of men that condemn and keep people bound. Christ has come to set the captives free and break the
bondages that man and “religion” impose. But no, I don't preach to my customers or condemn their
behavior. I am not so perfect that I have room to point a finger. I try to provide a place of business
where people can come and be treated fairly, with honesty and respect, and give them the quality of
work I would want myself. I try to treat everyone as Christ would, with love and compassion but am
always willing to share the gospel of Christ if someone shows an interest.
