Central Arkansas Shop
Hello all, I'm located in the Central Arkansas area, and I'm looking for suggestions on a good shop to 1) put my car on a frame machine and make sure it's straight before I install my SFCs and 2) actually install the SFCs. It needs to be a shop that is experienced/proficient at welding thin metal (floorpan). Any personal experiences welcome and encouraged. Thanks!

You might have better luck posting in the regional section.

Re: Central Arkansas Shop
I tried that last week and got no replies, so I thought I'd try it here. I don't see many thirdgens in my area, but I thought I'd try it anyways. Thanks though!

Re: Central Arkansas Shop
There's bound to be a frame shop in LR someplace. If not there, there's several in Memphis.
I have some property near Shirley actually.

Re: Central Arkansas Shop
Sofa, I've never heard of Shirley. Is that on the East side of central AR? And yes, I know there's bound to be a frame shop here but I was hoping to find one with positive reviews first, my dad and I have both gotten the shaft by some local shops (left half the rear suspension unbolted on a car of my dad's)

Re: Central Arkansas Shop
Not surprised you haven't heard of it, it's kinda ... small .... It's just N of Greer's Ferry Lake. Sorta between Clinton and Mt View. The place actually has a Fox address (Fox is even smaller) but it's closer to Shirley except you can't get to Shirley, or much of anywhere else really, without going through Fox first.
The one I used to use in Memphis was on Monroe not far out of downtown, next door to the plating shop. No clue whether it's still there or not, it's been 25 yrs or so since I last used em.

Gotcha, I know where Greer's Ferry is. How often do you go through?

Re: Central Arkansas Shop
There is a place in Malvern Called Gordys that has a very experienced frame guy. If I were to wreck mine that is who I would see.

Re: Central Arkansas Shop
Thanks for that recommendation! If I can't find anyone up here I may make the trip down there, as it's not too far.
