Custom Exhaust work

I viewed, from underneath, a certain vintage vehicle, for example, a 56 Corvette(I believe) he was working on, and I just had to whistle and say "That's awesome, Tommy, nice job!"

Is this Tommy the same Tommy that use to be a Capitol Police Officer?

Not that I know of.

He's taken over as manager/owner of Four T's in the last year or so, and I've simply noticed the superior quality of his work. Anything prior to that, I am unaware of. He has done work on my truck, and I've had nothing but high praise for what he has done for me. What I've observed, when I've visited his shop, and seen what else he's working on, - is truly amazing.

How do you say it?

For me, he just works smart. There is an easy way to get things done, and there's the right way to get it done. Tommy just seems to "get it right".

That's the guy I will trust my vehicle to. I have no problem recommending him to anyone, for whatever they need done to their vehicle, period.



As I've mentioned, I had seen some vintage autos there, and have had the chance to notice the expertise - that he has demonstrated in installing/customizing exhaust systems - it is - a eye opening experience, believe me.

There was a Tom or Tommy that did exhaust work north of Hughesville before randy's ribs at a gas station that has since been knocked down. he was supposed to be "THE MAN" to see for exhaust. He hosed me bad on my car the day before the coming out show in Charlotte hall a few years back. When I came to pick my car up finished or not he ran out the back door and took off before I could get my hands around his throat.

You may have as I spread it like wildfire. I had a last minute oops when I dropped my cars front end 2 inches. Had to go with shorty headers due to ground clearance. They told me he was good and I called to see if he could re-do exhaust front to back with no mufflers and stainless tips. he said no problem. Took the car in saturday morning and he said it would be ready that afternoon. By noon I didn't hear from him so I called. Someone in gas station said he forgot about Christening and left never touching my car. Called a couple more times and at 4 he calls me telling me he welded some short pipes to "make it work"! I was fuming as he didn't even give me the option. Was so mad I had to get the wife to drive there as I would have broken the sound barrier getting to him. he ran out the back door before i could hit him up!

Not the guy that works on my vehicle. All I know is what I've seen.

Well thats cool. I ended up buying all new stuff from Summit and having it put in and installed by Gaylord at Chesildyne(spelling) Meineke. he did a premo job setting everything in place and have never had a problem since.

Thanks!

I think I saw your vehicle at Four T's this afternoon, a red Honda Civic. It was around 3:00pm or so, and he was just finishing it up.

Looked pretty cool !

Was that your car?
