Well, we have gotten a lot of the paperwork (boring) stuff out of the way, so now it is time to get with setting up the new shop.
This is a 5,000 square foot facility that will cater to the automtive performance enthusiast (plus change the oil in Jeff's wife's Scion whenever she wants!!!).
I will be updating and posting pictures in this thread as we get things set up.
Here is the sign that we got for out front:

And, of course one with Jeff and MO (me!). Brandon was not around when I snapped these, so I will post a picture of him later.

The shop is pretty large and we are in the process of laying it out so that it is efficient and organized.
This is the main work area (don't mind the light that is dangling in the center of the picture -- the lights are still being worked on):

The back corner where the man door is will be where the dyno will be (we have to cut the floor and dig the hole still):

We have moved some of the equipment in (brake lathe, tire mounting and balancing equipment, strut compressor, drill press, etc.):

And, of course with Jeff running the place, we have to have a crapper:

One phase of the shop security to keep everything safe (if someone makes it through the rest of the security, she will eat their remains which will help me cut down on the paperwork):

Where's the shop, Marty? In Paulding County? Is Jeff going to work on modulars mostly, or will there be room on the dyno for the occasional hemi? (hint, hint)

I'll have to come down soon, I'm working on upgrading my intake tube and Tim says I'll have to get the MAF transfer function tweaked when I get more air coming in. Should put me over 700 RWHP too. When is the dyno going in? What's the address? I didn't see any announcements at the MPH forums yet. Good to see you're keeping Brandon too.

The shop will be at 204 White Park Drive, Dallas, Georgia.
The phone number will be 770-222-5015, but for now it is ringing at Jeff's old shop.
Brandon and Jeff are partners and I am just their pimp.
And, of course there will be a dyno -- the hole should get cut and dug next week.

CONGRATS MARTY!
You are living my ultimate dream...to own a cool speed shop that helps others make their cars wicked fast.
Everyday brings a new ride with new performance parts and a new challenge.
BTW: Any plans to do nice welded exhaust systems?
Note; In the picture of the shop's bathroom it looks like someones was "wide right" by about 2 feet when dropping a duece!
("wide left" as viewed....:P)
