Default Who does the best headwork?

And dont just chime in to tell that yours work great. If you have a reason why a specific porter is best then by all means, tell me why. Give details why the person/company is the best.

Default Hillside

Scott and the crew from Hillside get's my vote. I used them earlier this year and was very impressed. As the old saying you get what you pay for.

Why? Why? Why?

1. He's awfully demanding for being the one who is asking the question.

2. We can all say who we think is the best but, if he is planning on having some done, he will still want to talk to that individual to discuss his particular needs and make an informed decision based on that conversation.

I think Mackie is the best because he has years of experience. He is very willing to personally talk to the customer (or at least has been with me). And he has a proven track record for turning out proven, quality, reliable work.

There, you happy?

Installing Mackie heads on my 97 build in a few weeks. After talking to the indy building mine about some of the others it was my choice.
