Help with NHRA certification Ontario, Canada
« on: December 05, 2016 - 03:26:34 PM »
Hello, I am looking for a shop that can help get my 74 Cuda Pro street certified to 8.50. Looking to do roll cage, tubs, fuel cell and all other things needed for certification. I am located in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

There's guy on this list from western Ontario. If no one here knows you could give him a ring.

We met 2-3 guys from your area at drag week who had cage certs.  So someone around you is doing them.

You want to talk to Scott Forbes who owns and runs Hitman Hotrods- 180 Sheldon Dr Units#6-7 Cambridge, Ont. N1R 6V1 519-620-0800 . He left Lowdown a few years ago to open his own shop and the quality of their work takes a back seat to no one. Google the name and in the video of their 2012 open house, you'll see the boiler plate, flip front end Studebaker truck of Alan's metal guy Keith. Scott's work really is fabulous and they also ran a Pro Mod out of the shop at one time. Of the two choices mentioned, IMHO, he's the best. He's also a really nice, unpretentious man who you really should go to see before you make your decision. I'm not related, we have mutual friends and I've been in the shop several times and they always have something ultra cool on the go. One time, it was a 55 Chevy convert that they were installing a Corvette C6 driveline into- rear transaxle and all! He can do everything to cert your car that you need and he's less expensive than the competition, too.  :cheers:

Knowing both parties as well...I would say the guys at Lowdown have way more "RACE CAR" experience which is what the original poster was asking about. :2cents:

Thanks for the info guys. I will go see all the shops mentioned before I decide. So far I have only spoke with The Chassis Stop out of Mississauga.

Maybe make a phone call to Al Billes, he is local to me. I forgot about him. :-[  I used to work 2 doors down from his shop and really enjoyed the sounds coming from the dyno! :icon16:    I've done some machine work for him years ago...  Nice guy!  :2thumbs:  I have one of his cycled out  aluminum Hemi Rods hanging on a nail in my garage as a souvenier .
