Crossed Flags Performance, LLC
Friends, I posted this over on the "List of ZR-1 Shops" as well..
"I just completed my last project here in Texas. My wife and I are headed to Pagosa Springs, CO. We are building there on some property we own. Will take some time to effect the move, but I need to get our house ready to list so my time is consumed. Pagosa Spring is not a reasonable location for a performance shop, so my role going forward would be consultative. I've had the great pleasure and blessing to work on many C4'S over the past 4 years, developing lifelong friendships with many owners. They are truly unique and very few shops out there will try to learn how to tune and maintain them. I absolutely love the "real" LT-5! My '91 will forever remain with me until I give it to my son someday. Last C4 project involved complete LT-1 rebuild after it spun #6 rod bearing.. the former "builder" put a stock flexplate (externally balanced) on an internally balanced rotating assembly! Balance was off by 84 grams! Finding competent shops to work on the Gen2 SBC family and our LT-5 is getting very scarce.. Thanks and Warmest Regards, Steve Schroder Owner Crossed Flags Perormance, LLC"63440.jpg Sent from my SM-G950U using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app |

Hey Steve, this is Brandon from Dallas. We spoke and my heart was broken when you said you wouldn't be working on these cars.
But hey, I understand! Enjoy CO with your family. And yes, I've been working my azz off and saving pennies to get my car fixed. I can do stuff like plenum pulls and opti sparks all day. But as you said, basically no shops work on these cars. |

Very hard decision on my end. Love the cars, but I've always loved the relationships with the owners that I have been blessed with. I'm always available for any consultation by phone! Steve Sent from my SM-G950U using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app |
