Well that was a lot of fun reading on this Friday the 13th.
When you get ripped off you are pissed.
I would recommend the Bob Reams for carb and injection system. Anything to do with fuel systems but he is very good on other stuff as well. great Garage set up over on Northwest side of Phoenix. Use to own B & R Automotive around Greenway and I-17, Good guy.
Mike Franzen at 3A over at 15th Ave and Hatcher. Mike has taken care of both cobras since he worked over at B and R plus he is friends with Bob Reams. He is certified in several areas. Plus their shop follows up with you on every service.
Of course there is Gordon Levy but he is on the South side in Maricopa. Built both my cars. Great at setting up a car; painting booth and over all car and engine build. He just repainted my noise and I am having him do some more stuff as well. No comments Karl.....
I have used Charlie as well. My friend used him for about $5,000 on his 66 Mustang along with Levy and he is happy.
Of course Vettestr is well known and I have never heard 1 complaint about him. He builds cobras as well.
FYI - I too had a issue with John as well over at Anthem. Only happened 1 time and never went back. Don't remember Charlie even being there at that time.
Just my 2 cents. I have had 2 cobras too. Then again I am anal when it comes to mechanic stuff and if I am taking my wife riding with me I want to anticipate every freaking thing on these cars coming loose. It is their nature
.. Of course I let her start it once and it was in reverse gear and she flipped over the windshield. Cost me big to have the windshield and hood repaired ...
