Richmond SFC Installer?

I'm in Chesterfield VA and I'm going to bolt on a set of SFC's. I only plan on driving the car once with bolted SFCs to the shop to get them welded in. That's it. So, does anyone have a recommendation of a shop that can do this RIGHT? (i.e. not arcing out my electrical system, melting my carpet, jacking the car at a crazy angle instead of putting it on a drive-up lift) I'm picky, cause I want it done right.

Thanks for the suggestions..
Eric

Re: Richmond SFC Installer?

I did some reasearch and went to Paradise Road Speed & Custom, 8941 Jeff Davis Hwy in Richmond. Their phone number is 275-9995. I paid $178.93 ($85 per side plus tax & supplies). The welds are quality stuff; they even painted the grind/weld area for me too. The fuel lines needed to be worked around and they did that no-fuss as well. Everything was put back in it's place and they put my car out in front, lookin' tough in the sunshine when they were done.

These are very nice, professional folks. I think my car was a bit young for this shop as they had a 440, a bunch of other Mopars, a Dart in-process, and a couple yesteryear hot rods in their shop. Best part, I was in at 9am and they called to tell me the car was done by by 12:45pm- same day!

They said they can do most anything to our cars. I plan to use them again whence I run out of talent in my garage!
