Hi! I have a '91 MTX SHO Plus and I dearly love it. It is about the time for some real serious maintenance, as well as various parts replacements. Plus I had a minor mishap with a "road gator" that I think has messed up some stuff underneath.

I need recommendations from fellow SHO lovers/enthusiasts. Where is the closest mechanic-type person or shop near Lake City/Live Oak (or Gainesville area) that knows SHO's and is honest, fair and knowledgeable that I can take my girl to?

Please help!

Nina

Thanks. I know about them. They fixed my son's SHO. That's over 5 hours from me, so really not very practical. Hoping to find someone closer.

Here is a listing of Florida SHO mechanics from SHO Times. Note in 1998, there was one in Jacksonville, FL. I am not personally familiar with this outfit, whereas I have used Ford Performance Specialists.


Date of recommendation : April 2002

Don Donnelson is the ultimate SuperSHO Doctor. If anyone lives in the
Central Florida area or finds themselves visiting the area, I urge you
all to look up Don Donnelson. His email is [email protected] .He
has a garage full of all kinds of SHO high performnace parts and he is
currently working on another SuperSHO. He is a certified FORD/SVT
tecnician and is the ultimate SHO fanatic. I highly reccommend him.

And another recommendation for Don D:
At 196k miles, the Yamahammer in my '92 gave up the ghost due to a worn out rod bearing. I made a decision to hire Don Donelson in Port Charlotte, FL, past president of the Sunshine SHO Club and die-hard SHO afficionado to replace the motor, and had my car towed 3 hours to his place. Don is very meticulous about his work and pays a lot of attention to the most minute details. In a nutshell, I had Don replace my motor with a 3.2L with 3.0L intake cams, 96 brake upgrade in front, new brakes in the back, new Ford clutch and various other changes. I am most pleased with the work he did for me. Contact Don at [email protected] or feel free to contact me with questions.

Cheers, Carl Prochilo [email protected]

"My name is Antonio Moneo I own an 89 sho and also have an automotive repair shop. I am fully licensed insured and "ASE" certified. I have torn down my SHO hundreds of times. I have raced it blown it rebuilt it and continue the cycle. I'm currently looking for another one. My last car ran a best of 12.5 @ 107 mph at Moroso Motorsports Park. To date I have not heard of or seen a faster one."

Post in the FSHOC forum, and we can probably help you out. :thumb:

SHOGIRL1994 or NIGHTRIDER are your friends...they are in Jacksonville though. I am located in the Melbourne/Palm Bay area and can do any repair/mod you can imagine.

SHOTIMES is way out of date.
