they did a great job on rebuilding my d35. quoted me $400. ended costing me $525 after parts. horrible price, but what do you expect in hampton roads.
but........... ricks just screwed my friend and his bronco. truck spent 6 months there for a valve body replacement. on top of that we had to find the parts, then once we found it, they wanted him to pay extra cuz it was a customer purchased part.
grand total...........1200 + rental car 2 months, and borrow car 4 mo.
i dont like ricks anymore.

I've been in the area for almost 20yrs (yikes, that's kinda depressing) and have not found a better shop-- honest, skilled, and family run. I would recommend them to anyone who wants something done right and understands that it sometimes costs a little more to get good work done.

Well as for the M&G I have no preference on time, but I can bring some grub if someone is bringing a grill. Depends mostly on how tomorrow goes I suppose. If I can't get the dang front end back together, and the shocks in, then I probably won't be taking the XJ anywhere!

I guess in the spirit of narrowing it down I'll say Noon, but any of those times work for me.

Any one works, but to keep it easy, noon is good for me too.

so seeing as we three (minus shawn) seem to be the only ones interested, noon it is.

I'll pick up a cheapie grill from K/Wal Mart and some dead animals to burn/cook on it. I guess we'll play it by ear fro there-- no telling what we'll want at the time and who'll bring what.
I did invite a few others, but haven't heard squat from most of 'em. Maybe we can gather funds from the others when/if they show up.

I'll probably be there anytime after 10:00-- if it's pouring, we'll at least get the grill going and stuff our faces-- if it dries out, no telling what's going on.

Shorty, do you own or just run that store?

all stores are "company owned"-- I'm just the H.S.I.C. (head schmuck in charge)
I get paid based on how well I keep the bills paid and how well I exceed the unrealistic expectations of people who haven't even opened their hood in the last decade.....
I guess it's a good thing I like what I do and am good at it, or I'd starve:gag:
