Default Davenport will be moving soon, check out the pics of your new shop.

After 30 years at our existing location, we're going to be moving soon.

It's been close to one year of construction but it's almost done!

Finally our own shop.

Last Winter.









Spring time.







The parking lot got paved a few months ago.







New Rotary Lifts.








Inspection and car wash bay.



Landscaping.





New signs put up by the City.





That's all for now, I'll post up a few more as things proceed, and I'll let everyone know when we're moved in. :thumbsup:

Wow, it will be nice to move into a shop that's not crowded like you old place.
Looks like it's near the airport.
Whats the new address?
I'll stop by next time I'm in town.
Hello to Steve.

Hello to Steve.
Hi Len, great to hear from you.

The new building is where the old Mohawk Gas Hut used to be, and it was quite a task getting the permits with the city. The airport was involved since we are next to their property. There was a lot of Red tape to get a new building on site. The close proximity of planes landing and taking off is really an added bonus. One thing for sure, no complaints of noise from the neighbors

VP racing fuels as well as Shell racing fuel is just across the street.

We have had this plan in the works for many years, but with the busy economy,and this unique location delays were inevitable, but we are near completion. All of us are really looking forward to moving in shortly.

It will be a great site for car guys to get together for special evens, and we plan on doing some type car shows events, including meet and greets of sorts next year. Should be fun

Congrats Steve! I saw the signs and it had me wondering what are you up to?
I was hoping the new shop would be down by Douglas Glenn, but I like airplanes and fast cars so I can make that trip up to the North from the sunny southern part of the city.
Congrats again, shop looks awesome!!

Steve, looks great! Are you going to have the grand opening this year or wait until next?

Most importantly, will there be doughnuts?
