If anybody knows of a good machine shop with reasonable prices in the Monroe or Charlotte area of NC post away or send me a PM please. This is going to be for block/crank/heads work for a rebuild.

Thanks,
Dan

 

dont know of any machine shops in monroe but in charlotte theres a shop called www.moreperformanceinc.com and they do execelent work. i take it you live in monroe, have you ever seen my car club out in indiantrail at burger king on saturday nights?? if not come check us out, now that its cold we are at carolina lanes down the street.

 

Yeah I've seen the club there one time. I was in a z24 though not the Camaro. I've been to more before but I have a sinking feeling they will be high for what I need done. I'm just going to do a basic rebuild this time around. Once I get the car back together I might swing out on a night that everybody is there.

Theres a machine shop in Rock Hill that i am going to use here to do my BB motor for my 69, the name is McCraw Auto and Machine Shop, the owners name is Tony. He has really good prices and he is a really nice guy so check him out. 803.329.2343

 

There is a place I believe called bestbuilt engine, been a long time, that does good work for a fair price. I bought 2 different engines from them. They are in Charlotte, should be in the phone book.

 

I'll ask my lil' bro. He will know of several. He works at Scott Clarks and knows a lot of peeps that can help ya out. Oh BTW is it snowing or icing in charlotte yet? I have to drive up there tomorrow on i-77. I h8 ice!

 

You guys are going to get some of our Michigan weather.

 

We had some sleet so far but nothing that is sticking. Some frozen overpasses but that is it.

 

Yeah, we've gotten the same. Although tonight I think everything is going to freeze. It's raining and less than 32* I love ice.

Back to the question: Regarding all the Charlotte shops, anyone know the cheapest place just to get a block bored/honed? Also any shops in Mooresville will be cool. And do they usually charge by hole? Thanks

I'm gonna recommend F-Body Motorsports. From what I've seen so far, they're an excellent shop. The guy who installed my intake and exhaust systems, Rocky, really knows his stuff. Oh yea, are vettes allowed to join the charlotte fbody club? I can't seem to find any vette clubs.

 

Yeah, Rocky is the best in the business around here.
He is legendary , but unfortunately not cheap.

 

There's a shop right down the road here in Lake Wylie close to the Nuclear plant that has a great reputation for machine and engine work. I have their business card in my truck and will post it here tomorrow. He used to do engine work with Robert Yates. That's enough in my book.

I don't know of F-Body Motorsports doing "machine shop work" so to speak. I know they'll do engine installs, intakes, exhaust and what-not, but I don't think they're doing the machining part of it.

sorry but no vettes arent allowed in, its strictly f-bodies. but, we have absolutely no problem with vettes or other cars coming and hanging out with us, going on trips, and some car shows. we love having other muscle cars expecially gm cars hanging out with us, its just you cant "officaially" be in the club. but there are a few vette and gm clubs in the charlotte area. ill post back with some info on them, what type of vette you have? my lil brother has a 1973 vette hes restoring.

 

Do you have an address and phone number for them? Rocky did most of the work on my car several years ago and I've had no complaints - other than he closed his shop. He is one of the best 4th gen F-Body trouble shooter's around, as is Jeff Creech at Carolina Auto Masters. But Charlotte is 2 hours closer to me than Durham

 

Yep...
