Default Has 425 Motorsports installed any performance parts on your Corvette?

I really would like to go to Cantrell Motorsports to be honest.... That place is awesome BUT I have a few things to have installed and 425 Motorsports is $25 less per hour than Cantrell.

My list of stuff:

Ron Davis radiator w/ side mount oil cooler

Shocks

sway bars

Composite springs

Harness bar

New coolant reservoir

Silicone hoses

Oil pressure sender unit

I really like the guys at 425 its just i don't know much about the quality of work they do. I'll probably end up using Cantrell unless there are some clients of 425's out there that have some really nice things to say about their experience(s) with them.

Uuuhgh... back to work...

Any info will help!
Thank you!

We had them do the LeMons racer roll cage battery box and seat mounting work.
They did fine but that was all metal work.

The coolant tank is 3 10mm nuts. Are you not interested in working on your car anymore?

You may want to try Beachman Racing in Redmond Ridge area. Bruce has good Corvette Grand Am racing, install, and fabrication experience. Best contact info is (206) 774-0852 or beachmanracing@mac.com.

YES I do Shawn! As long as you're ok with it still, I would definitely like to do the shocks, sways and headlights. You're ok with flushing the coolant to get this reservoir in?
Mike that put the Bob's meet together needs to do his headlights as well... Maybe we can make a lil' BBQ or somethin'?

You are TOO kind my friend

No website, best to call and arrange to see the place. Quite impressive.

Sure. I don't have much going on in evenings the last half of the week and weekend. May need to get my propane tank topped off for grilling but I can't lift it yet.
Headlights are fairly easy with all the right bits to unbolt them.
I have a large 10 qt pan for the cooling if you want to use it. I'd love to see that integrated oil cooler setup since that is a future mod I plan to do.
Drop me a text to plan something. Mike is welcome too.

You're the best, my man! Still need those rear SS lines for the brakes. Oh.. and SS pistons for the front calipers.... Maybe thats why I started thinking about a shop because the list is getting long! We'll take it one step at a time.
I can lift grilles all day! Don't know about cooking with them though.....
Thanks again Shawn, I'll hit you up

I received a private message from Bruce Beachman. I thought I should share it:

"Hi,

I noticed your post about needing a shop for late model Corvette parts install. Well, actually, one of our clients contacted us when they noticed the post.

Cantrell is a good shop, 425 is a parts retailer, subcontracting to generalists.

We have a very deep understanding of Corvettes, especially as it relates to motorsport and track preparation. Our Grand Am Rolex GT Corvette competed for three seasons (2005-2007). The car still competes locally/regionally in ICSCC.

We are also the regional Caterham Cars dealer - offering complete vehicle assembly services for the Caterham 7 (it comes to the US as a component kit). We also take on numerous special projects with heavy mechanical and fabrication requirements, working on Ultima, Noble, BMW, Porsche, and others. We now also have a Caterham/Lola SP/300.R in-house, that we support/maintain."

Good man! Like I wrote before, I like these guys.

Thank you to whomever reached out to him!

I think these guys deserve a shot!
