This place is a joke! Luke McCormick is a drain on society. “Hood’s Up” is a perfect title for their business because you will always have your hood up after these guys touch your vehicle. I would not trust them to change one screw on a deck let alone build a roll-cage for a crawler. He has no business savvy (practical understanding; shrewdness or intelligence; common sense; so he doesn’t have to look it up). The idea about opening up and running a business is that you learn from your mistakes and fix them. Luke simply puts on the teenage front about “fixing” things. Go ahead and punch the customer, that’s brilliant.
You cannot utilize zip-ties to install a fuel line. That’s the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard. Luke quotes rules and regulations about the fuel system do’s and don’ts to justify his shops terrible install. Then when you so happen to look up SCCA, NHRA, NASA, or any other racing sanctioning body (Luke these are the entities that certify if one can bring their car onto the track or not). He then proceeds to place the fuel pump 3” behind the right rear tire OUTSIDE of the frame rails, brilliant.
When I called for him to come see his work he said that he was busy and he might be able to come check it out later that evening. I called the next day and he didn’t answer nor call me back. So I went to their shop, “Hood’s Up”, and spoke with Luke McCormick himself. When all I wanted was his understanding how that is not how you do work for a customer. He claims that is how he has it on his truck (hex-head screw plugging the stock fuel return and 3/8” braided return line into a ¼” stock supply line with a hose clamp.) After explaining that the rules and regulations for the above mentioned sanctioning bodies require the fuel pump to be inside of the frame rails Luke says, “they must have changed and could be different than circle track racing.” Does he mean the NHRA sanctioned circle track racing? Hmm another interesting note. The best part is his last few words, “I’ll knock your explicative[words, expressions, gestures, or other social behaviors that are socially constructed or interpreted as insulting, rude, vulgar, desecrating, or showing disrespect for] rear-end out.”
