I & most my Concord area buddies
& even Pleasant Hill neighbors that ran Nostalgia T/F Hemi's record holders
used to go to Tri-Valley Machine in Pacheco Ca.
also Morgan Marine, Walnut Creek, was pretty good back then too,
longer turn around
so was Baily Bros., Napa/Sonoma area,
so was Rex Hutchinson, Terry M. in Sac. area
but nothing like Tri-Valley
they'd do my emergency (usually race) stuff the same day/night,
'sometimes as I waited', it was right too
(I took all my machine work there for a time, all my cars trucks projects
& paid whatever they said etc.)
a guy, a great machinist named Manuel A.,
he was a fellow S/E Class 7.90 1/4-ET racer
& Bob the owner didn't care if he worked after hrs either...
Oh, I miss them days...
Up here it's a waiting game, not a year, but not overnight either...
