Hi All
     Recently Minnie and I traveled down to Cleveland, GA., to Vision Rod and Customs, Inc. Shop to pick up our ‘32 Ford frame which they had constructed for my next project.  The trip was breathtaking, with the trees all different colors, and a large part of the trip was through Blood Mountain and was very scenic to say the least. And the small town of Cleveland is the birth place of the former famous Cabbage Patch Dolls of several years ago, as well as the home of Vision Rod and Customs.  Saying I was very impressed by Visions Shop is a major understatement. Bennie met me and gave me and Minnie a tour of their shop. Bennie informed me they do Ford frames from Model A thru ‘40 and F-100 frames and several mid ‘30’s Chevy frames and coming next they plan to have Jigs ready to do Tri-5 Chevy frames.  They do Turn Key Cars as well as customer upgrades and repairs, basically they are a full service Rod Shop.  And in my opinion they are excellent people to do business with. I was very happy with my frame and Bennie had done everything he had told me he would do, I recommend them. Here are a few pics we took while we were there.  Jack!!!
