Just figured I would expand on my initial post as this has gone in the wrong direction. Dan had a way of doing cars, his way. It was always a joke amongst friends that if a car had a tach, flowmasters, welds, and a 4.30 gear, it was an Idle Wild hotrod. He was opposed to power adders, yet didn't really know what one was. I'll never forget a shootout at Desoto (BMP for the newbies), they had a power adder EFI class, and a non power adder EFI class. Logic would tell you that if you had nitrous, supercharger, or a turbo (weren't many of them back then ), you would be in the power adder class, and if not, well, the non-power adder class Dan actually protested a car from south of here (lethal injection, I still remember) because it had two throttle bodies on it. He claimed that the second throttle body was a power adder, even went so far as to say anything with more than exhaust and a gear shouldn't be legal in the class. After almost getting his ass beat by half the people in the crowd, he withdrew his protest. How do you own a performance shop, not even understand what a power adder is, whine like a bitch when the car you brought ends up not being the fastest and expect people not to notice? Dan made money off of rich kids with no knowledge and mommy's credit card. People that knew what the hell they were doing went to other shops for the most part, so when the rich wannabes started getting into imports, Dan was in trouble. All the other big names in this area are still in business, hell, some shops actually opened after the mustang entered it's "pitiful" days and they are still around. No, it wasn't the mustang that did Dan in, it was Dan.
