Where do I begin; I found out about mpgracecars, aka Murrays Proformance garage aka r&e racing. Through a friend, who had work done there. I spoke to Dave via instagram, he had room to take my car in, and at the most said it would be a month or two to finish my car. My car is a 70 maverick, has a V8 swap and and an auto to stick conversion. Dave was tasked to finish it . As I ran into a few , roadblocks in the build . So when I brought the Mav over to Dave , my lady , bro in law & best friend, helped me unload the Mav off the trailer . I told Dave , that the hood needed to be bolted down, but may have needed to be tapped , at the hood hinge location. It was a custom fiberglass hood valued at about a 1000.00 I left these parts on the car , the custom chin spoiler, valued at 250.00 and the grille , which I just paid about 300.00 for it . I'll get to the reason why I am mentioning these parts later on. I told Dave , "please take care of my maverick. I have my life savings in it." And the hood isn't bolted down. " I left a deposit with Dave & got my receipt. That was Aug 18,2019 Checked back in with Dave about a month later, car was still in the same exact spot . Untouched . Which was very upsetting, and to top it off , David, had taken in several more projects. My car just sat, as it was clearly being ignored. Damage occurred in nov,2019 Dec 4 2019 Picked up grille & no repairs He said car will be done 3 wks from then Jan 3, 2020 Checked on Mav Car is in exact spot Damage is present Dave was out of town Jan 6,2020 Dave was in town But not available Avoided my phone call An only messaged through Instagram Jan8 ,2020 1015am Messaged Dave again for estimating finish date No reply if he is there or not 1-29-19 U joint drop Off Damages are still present 2-24-2020 dropped off the intake . Only reason I continued to keep the car with him, is David, said in person the hood , grille and spoiler would be fixed or a discount on the job. Nothing was done, nothing was taken off my bill. He had taken more vehicles , in a 53 f100 , with a p71 frame, a 66 mustang red coupe, several Chevelle's & a very red & white 57 Ford 2dr bagged wagon. And not to mention the grey & black 66 mustang coupe that's been sitting there since I dropped off my 70. I finally had enough, I went with a truck and trailer , with my best friend , and our girlfriends . All four of us pushed the car on the trailer. While Dave sat down watching . Who lets girls push lol.. They wanted to help, but really dude.. We picked up my car in May 2020, which was in worst shape then I dropped it of , to David Murray ... to put a cherry on top , he gave my hood to his " body man" the day before I decided to come and pick it up . How convenient! Whom also didn't do anything to it For 4 months . I couldn't get ahold of David , I have come to find out he was in an accident. It is horrible, yes. But you would think , the person after 9 months of hell, would put me through another 4 months , simply , cause he didn't want to give a phone number , it was my property. Hood was valued at a 1000.00 to replace it ... if you want proof , feel free to message me , I have pictures, and messages .. Don't do business with this crook, he will take your money , scream at you , and let your prized classic or project rot in the Palmdale aka palmTuckey cold and heat... Every time I would call him to check up or in person, to get updates , two weeks .... car will be done by dec, 2019 Then feb2020 it was agreed in august that the car was only to take a month or two, since it was minimal work. The shop I took the car to after got all the work done in one month exactly. They were on it , called with updates , and most importantly they took good care of my car. I'll update with a review about them . But the world should hear about Mr. David Murray, and how he failed me , in taking care of my classic & not paying up for the damages . My car was in his possession, he was supposed to take care of my car. He will yell at you, belittle your car, and worst of all he threatened me , saying he will push my classic into the street. That was the last straw. To make matters worst, those 9 months my car sat with David , it became infested with black widows. So if you want the car of your dreams ruined .. ,to get lied to , money taken , take it to mpg aka Murray's proformless gamble.. or r&l racing aka rust& loss risking .. anything that Dave Murray has to touch on your car , better watch out . He will leave parts uninstalled and everything a mess. I found u joints on leaf springs, everything was just baked for sitting so long! He will only try to communicate over phone , so no written trail or anything. But I have screenshots of all my conversations with Murray, photos of all damages . read more

I called around several shops and this one had the lowest price for installing lowering springs. After I picked up and was driving around, I heard some noise coming from the back left. When I crawled under to take a look, I couldn't beleive it! They left the spring compression tool inside the spring. This was my first mod and not a good experience. I was going to have them do many more expensive installs, but I'll be going somewhere else now even if I have to drive to LA area. Update 10/1/17: I installed some new springs myself and found that the spring tool R&E left in there had caused damage on the top perch. See pictures. read more

This review is looong overdue. I had an engine built hear a while back. When I first installed it, the engine began to knock BADLY, within the first 10 minutes, so I took it off and sent it back to R&E. This was a HASSLE. Once I got it back, these were my findings while going through and opening up my engine. - Oil pan bolts were missing - The pistons were cut at the center. And from my understanding, the job was messy. - The timing chain was dripping gunk - Timing chain was very loose and would have failed after a few runs - The rings were gapped wrong (NOS would have messed up the engine). Old parts from my last engine were used to build this one. Couldn't you at least let me know your recommendations to replace these parts? On top of that, I was missing parts with no explanation. I wouldn't recommend this place for engine building. read more
