Just moved to St. Petersburg, opening up shop. Whats missing?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself and get some feedback of what is happening in the Tampa area.

My name is David and I recently moved here from WI where I owned a shop that specialized in custom fabrication, forced induction and late-model GM vehicles specifically the Ls engine. We put an LS in just about everything. Before getting into the LS game, I was heavy into Nissans. The reason I got into GM stuff in the first place was the last engine I put in my s13, a LS2 (I have had pretty much every motor in an S chassis). I now own a TT c6 Corvette and an e36 track car (LS powered ofcoarse)

So, I am out looking at spaces right now to get started and I am just curious what the performance scene is like in this area. Im sure there are some bigger shops out there but as a previous shop owner, I know there are always people that were rubbed the wrong way or people out there looking for something different.

I appreciate any feedback and I hope to meet some of you some day.

David

David, I opened a no-cost shop forum where you can post anything you want to related to
your business. Pictures, articles, etc.

If/when you want the name changed, let me know what you want it changed to.
For now, here it is. Click here:
https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/tr-shop-forums/828466-zero-2-sixty-custom-fabrication-forced-induction-late-model-gm-vehicles-specifi.html

and if you want to start your own shop forum, you can do that too.
Just post up here:
