SUMMER 2011
Atlanta Speed Shop has always provided services to high performance & racing customers. We recently opened our NEW Performance Automotive, Diesel, & Marine Service Center, which is now servicing domestic & foreign vehicle owners. If you are not being pampered & catered to by your mechanic/machinist...you should check us out!
Did you know that Atlanta Speed shop works on Mercury Mercruisers and Mercury Racing Engines? We have several customers that will tell you it's impossible to find someone who actually knows what they're doing when it comes to these boat motors. Our recent story:
Ken Sills a very old friend of Julius' had engine problems! He needed a complete rebuild on his 502 Magnum EFI/MP Mercruiser! He had a local marina R&I the thing, who suggested a local Florida machine shop....Kens words were: "Boy were they high in price and it was going to take at least a month before they could even get started!" Ken brought the motor to Atlanta Speed Shop in this box
and within two weeks he was driving back to Destin with his completely rebuilt motor, at a substancially lower cost, along with the peace of mind in knowing the job was done accurately, with precise perfection!
Julius working like the mad machinist that he is, inches closer and closer to reaching a promised deadline...
and Joe Polacky our fabrications specialist, who jumped in and saved the day at the last hour!!
Just shortly before the stroke of midnight, customer drove away into the night, headed for the Florida Gulf Coast!
Atlanta Speed Shop hired a new Mechanic/Machinst, Brien Kelley.
Welcome Brien!
Julius III & I just returned from the Poker Run at Jacksonville.
We went down there with Julius' Uncle Dan, who owns a 36 ft Eliminator Daytona Speedster, which he calls the "SCRAPPY CAT"! The pictures tell our story...
Our arrival at St. Johns River Dan's favorite: the sirens, & horns!
Lifted & lowered by crane and off we went!
Kim & Dan-too hot to handle! Julius & Krista-lookin' good baby!
Dan's famous Doo Rag! Late Lunch & cocktails ahead!
