Default New shop open in harrisonburg

Hey guys I was on DragVA every now and then, formerly RiceEater WS6. Just opened up shop this past thursday, thought Id let everyone know. I posted these pics also on the MM and CCVT boards.

This is the place when I first started moving in/fixing it up


It was in pretty bad shape lol cardboard walls... part of the building was 30 yrs old almost.

after applying a couple months worth of turd polish:



blue and yellow building is the repair/service shop and storefront for both, red is performance:



Waiting area:



reception area:



The drive through garage in the back with 4 lifts and various equip



I have a paint bay and two side bays also that Im keeping for when I start body work in the coming months.



DRYFT building sign:



Dynojet 90% installed:



+33whp




Still some loose ends to take care of, dyno will be finished installing on sunday. I will be doing an official "grand opening" type deal, with a car show and discount dyno day weekend after next. Hope to see some of you guys come in and meet the local crowd around here. Wish me luck fellas! lol.
