Potentially looking for a new fab guy to do some work. Looking to have new arms built for my SU that can accommodate a 10 inch Bypass and coilover versus the 8inch coilover I have now. My usual guy seems to busy to want to take the work and I did talk to SU directly but did not get the best vibe from them. Who do you like and have worked with for your fab work?

I always used Marco at M&M Fabwerx in Chula Vista (South San Diego). Been going to him for 25 plus years now. Dude is an artist and no games.

He been building Trophy trucks, Class 1 cars, other cars and projects. Prerunners, drag cars, plus he's a full service fab shop for all things metal. He's really upgraded over the years. He does crazy bitching work with his laser table and tubing cutter setups.

M&M built windshield frames for two of my friend's cars and neither we're happy w/ them.
 
For an SU no-brainer to use Ed at SU. Ed's not a warm and fuzzy guy but don't think he doesn't want to do your work. He's a man of few words until you get to know him.

My second choice would be Justin at Metal Tech but Vegas is a little far. Justin can build anything and make it badass.

I'm having some work done on a buggy works by Sean Jones and I'm super happy with the work and the communication. He's busy and a one man show but for a DD or Buggy Works he seems to be the man.
 
Adam Householder in Anaheim. He did some chassis work for me last year. He races Trophy Truck and 6100. He doesn't prep any race cars/trucks other than his own. He works on most sandrails in our dune group. Also rebuilds shocks.

Thanks for that! I was unsure about Ed after our interaction but you are spot on about his personality.

Jones does great work as well.
 
On this subject ,,I need some fab/suspension work also in the Midwest. Who was/ is the guy in the Tulsa area who was really good? Or, anyone have any other suggestions for KS/OK area??

Ed ended up doing all the work on the car. Him and Ramone built new arms, reinforced the whole front of the car and built a new hood and dash for me. I am super pumped with how the work came out and the car handles amazing.

I am so glad I took it to Ed. He was great on communication through the whole process. They did run into some hiccups which was expected as it truly was not a bolt on job, but they executed it perfectly. Ramone was able to figure a way to do the upper shock mounts that didnt look hideous and also made the car fit me. They even did small things such as extend my pedals to make sure I fit comfortably once they did the new dash. Ed personally sat in my car while Ramone measured to ensure it all worked together. Grateful to those folks at SU.
