They're Mopar guys. They do some serious restorations. Expect to spend some money... anywhere you go for that matter. Did you say it's a 1974 model? Who's is it?

slow because i didnt want to work on it.
the front and oil pan are off but i still need to pull the head.
the rtv got behind the t-case and acted as a wedge so it wouldn't seal
rufus any other shops?
he told me last time he went there there was a year long waiting list
he said he would check it out again
As far as custom restoration type shops go not really. There's other good reputable shops out there like Dale's on Broadway http://maps.google.com/maps/place?h...ear=san+antonio,+tx.&cid=13890475207027396960. I've heard good things come out of Jack's Paint Place http://www.jackspaintplace.com/press.htm.
Atlas body and paint on Carson near New Braunfels http://www.atlasbodyshop.com/.
I'm sure any one of those would do the work right away.

Nope. I've had my eye on this supra for a couple of years and now its for sell. it's a 87 gay blue looks very nice from the out side. it's supost to be clean on the inside. and 55000 original miles. i'd take it but i already have my hands full.
Well update on the car, gotta pull the engine the manifold studs are backing themselves out... so they need rethreaded and the valve cover gaskets are bad so im going to rebuild the whole thing proll starting next month... any suggestion on where to get the head or the block machined
what do you mean they are backing them selves out?
are they stripped and just keep spinning when you torque them?

just keep spinning when you tighten them down but the studs arent stripped, so im going to retap the wholes in the block and rebuild the engine with some upgrades while i got it out of the car
If they keep spinning then the bolt holes on the head are stripped. You should do a compression test before you decide to do a rebuild. If the compression is good across the boad then why bother with a rebuild? If the numbers are out of whack then sure, rebuild it. With the money you save on a rebuild you can upgrade something. Just retap and helicoil the head, valve job while it's out, adjust valve lash, new valve stem seals and call it a day.
