Sapps in Gardner is where I go. They are on Mechanical Blvd/Loop
Road. I turn left by Loop Rd Auto and they are on the left
just after the RR tracks.

They weld (heli Arc) alluminum and do frabracation work.
Turn around was quick and prices resonable the couple of times I had repair work done:
-like when one of my braded steel hoses sawed through the
Howie Racing Rad...oops!
-Another time I broke the AN bung off a $200 oil cooler...Duuuhhh!
$40 later was good as new.

You might say Sapps is where I go when I screw up and the best part
is they don't make fun or give you a log of S&!% about it.

Yup.. I have used Sapps before on 2 Caorvettes and a Blazer. They are good to work with and I will probably use them again. I was just trying to find something closer to Wake Forest.

A new piece costs $400 retail. I don't think so.....

Ditto on SAPPS. Did a good job on my caterham radiator and did the work pretty quickly, too.
