For those that do not know, I am now half partner of Slo-Pony Auto Repair and working as the service writer and estimator. This has been quite a little while in the works and there are still some bugs to work out, but the major step has been made.
To comemorate this event I would like to propose that we pick-up where Dan's Halloween party got cancelled. We don't have live music, and we don't require costumes, but we do have a keg of beer and a grill ready to rock! We are not trying to pull anyone away from Tate's party but if you didn't plan on making that one and still wanted to go to a good party, we will be rocking at the shop on 8202 N. University in Peoria, IL. Lets start at 7PM and end as late as possible! -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Congratulations, Marcus. I guess this explains why I am always seeing your car there when I drive by.
On a side note, do you guys do rebuilds of GM FWD transaxles? I have heard all the good things Josh does for the DSM trannies, and I have a GM 5-spd in need of some TLC. Thanks, Marty |

I keep meaning to ask for a couple of those slo-pony racing stickers I see in all the guys cars... I can at least supply a little advertising for the repeated borrowing of Josh's trailer to pick up all my projects!!

They definitely like their fox body Mustangs, but their mechanical abilities are very diverse. In fact one of our mechanics used to work at a GM dealership and specialize in Cadillac major repairs during the week, while he raced his Mustangs on the weekends.
To keep this forum friendly I have to add that their expertize with DSM's is only second to their Mustang experience. Over the past two years there have been a healthy number of DSM repairs and build-ups run through Slo-Pny!
