Spec-Ops Motorsports "From Then, Until Now"

I'd like to start out by taking the time to thank our customers and local supporters for their loyalty and hard work to help us get things rolling. Next I'd like to thank those fellow vendors on this site who have welcomed us and offered a helping hand and allowing us to carry their products. I dont want to even try and individually thank them all as i dont want to miss and offend one. Please see my signature.

Like most, we started out in our garages turning wrenches, or as some people have said, attempting to degrade us, our "army tents". In the end, cream rises to the top, and when you have outstanding customer service, an outstanding reputation, and some of the best products on the market to help your success, it's hard to fail.

I'd like to take this time to post a few pics up from the beginning, and show our transformation to where we are now. All of the shop photos have happened literally in less than 4 months. And post a few pics from the cars we have built.

In closing, I'd again, like to thank the customers and vendors for your loyalty and support.

We will continue to update this thread as our shop progresses and as we continue to upgrade things...

In the Beginning...





Our Building... Week 1













Here We Are Now ...



















The Future Tuner




A Few Build Pics









The Preferred Drink........



........For These Guys !!!

Thanks brother... stay safe over there. Hopefully things continue to settle. For awhile i thought we'd be saddling up and coming to visit. I'd bring my laptop and tactrix cable of course

Thanks... its definitely a process. A lot of hard work, a lot of hours spent on not just turning wrenches and tuning trips, but handy man tasks as well. Our goal, like most shops is to end up looking like CBRDs shop. It will probably never happen, but a great goal to shoot for. I've seen some photos from Chad's shop before they were open, and I will say that his shop, if he shared those photos with everyone, you guys would be absolutely amazed and even more impressed with how his shop looks and is kept.

Believe it or not, that is a true story !!! An attempted insult to rub our noses in the fact that our primary job is active duty army, so we couldn't possibly know what we are doing .... As it seems, comments and negative responses just fuels the fires of motivation for us

I don't think people realize that we do most of our own work at the hobby shops on post. Learn quite a few things there. Hell, when I was stationed at Belvoir I spent almost every afternoon hanging out there.

The shop looks great, coming from such humble beginnings! It looks like your chock full of cars, so that should be proof enough that you guys do outstanding work. If I didn't live in the Great White North I'd definitely be hitting up my fellow Soldiers for some work. Keep it up!
