Magnesium Refinishing - Chris Childs

[Graham Rankin]

Also posting in the FA section. Chris just refinished an oil tank on the Swift 014 for me. Very nice, good service and fairly priced. Highly recommend if you need mag parts refinishing. You can check out his pictures on Instagram, @childsmotorsport.

I also use Chris for work on my Shadow and FT200 gearboxes. Excellent work.

I also had a good experience with Chris re-doing a 3 piece wheel center for me.

John, there is a guy in Florida who can repair magnesium, but I can't seem dredge up his name. He used to have a shop in Winter Park, built lots of chassis's for the drag race crowd. Skip Weld may be able to get his name and contact info.
There is another fellow in Winter Springs named Hector who has a shop. He also builds for the drag crowd. Of course I can't recall the name of his shop....

That would be Tim Takash. He doesn't have his own shop anymore but does work for a race shop in Orlando somewhere.
