I just had a coil done by him about a month ago. We didn’t speak, but turn around was quick

Rumors can start wars. Where did you here it. I have visited his and GM's shop several times. I think he is too young to retire. GM will weigh in on this.

thats good news. i often wonder who will replace some of our great rebuilder guys when they have had enough. i'd like to know how he gets those coils apart and fixed up without the case looking like a rat chewed on it!

Skip has made a great job of several dealings and communications I,from down under, have had to do with him, as for one instance I required him to alter my 32 coil to my specifications and it was no problem.

He is only around 57 so he will be doing the Ford parts for a lot of
years to come. G.M.

If you ever get down to his area in Punta Gorda, FL, give him a call and make arrangements to stop in and see him. He'll show you how he gets the coils and pumps apart.
