the new shop is almost ready to go!!

[hpbyhermann]

Thanks for the kind words guys!

First and formost i'm a cobra owner-enthusiast FIRST and a shop owner second.....I do this job because i love it, and it's my hobby that i'm very fortunate to be able to make a living out of! :rockon: I know how this is from both side of the counter...it's hard to talk to alot of shop owners/tuners.....they assume you know this and that and if your not spending a fortune with them they treat you like crap....From the first day I started working on mustangs for others I told myself i'd NEVER assume anything and i'd do my best to help explain what was going on so the guy or gal would leave with some knowledge after asking me something about their car. My longtime customers already know this about me, and I do very clean and show quality work. If I can help anyone out in the future please give me a shot...I think you will be glad you did!!! :thumbsup: Here is a little backround for those who don't know me....http://www.mustang50magazine.com/featuredvehicles/22299/

I'll try to pop in your opening week after the long weekend - just let us know when you officially open.

I met Herman at the car club too and he was one of the last guys to leave because everyone had questions for him. I cant wait for his shop to open so I can have him install my T56 and solid axle. And when you call Hermann he picks up the phone and will talk with you about any mods you want to do with your car.

Just talked to him - he does welding! Oh ya.

Being that i drive by your shop everyday on the way to work i'll be stopping in for some advice/service. If you see a guy walking in with BDUs on it's most likely to be me

Welcome to Tampa, Nice to see a true Ford tuner in town. Best of luck and I will send my Ford friends to you now rather than the shop in Orlando we recommend. I am sure you will blow away the local shops :loser: here. :beer:

Hey, Herman, you sound like a down to earth guy! I like the fact that you stated how you are an "cobra owner enthusiast first", instead of a businessman (which are usually out to make that paper before taking care of the customer's need). I live in South Florida, but I'm willing to drive several hundred miles to have someone take care of my prize possession as he would his own. So, hurry up and open that shop Sir Herman :thumbsup: .

How about a grand opening party, hot dogs, burgers, show off the shop and meet the floridaboys.

I've met some great people down here already....makes the move all worth it!!! :thumbsup: The shop is open and running now guys...feel free to come by to say hello in person! :beer: I have one more roadtrip to maryland for the last of my shop equipment and to drop off a customer car in north carolina that i'm doing an automatic swap in. After i return from that lets do that meet and greet/ opening party! Thanks again for the support i've received, hermann :bowdown:

 

[Floridalawdog]

I am glad to hear we have another tuner in the area. Especially one who sounds friendly and understands customer service. :rockon:

 

[Double"O"]

Numbers aside, his car performs. He roasted a couple 1000CC bikes when he took the club leader for a ride, and this was with the back tires not even fully sticking.

Are you talking about The Stang Gang and Herman was driving that turbo terminator?

If so, the two bikes he beat were 600cc bikes; a 2006 Yamaha R6 with a slip on exhaust, and a Honda CBR 600RR with a slip on. The two riders are my good friends and I followed (atleast tried to keep up) in my cobra.

None-the-less, that is still an amazing feat.

ty, it was great meeting you and working on your ride today...
