Earl Laskey is I believe the top builder, but I think he doesn't do them anymore? Can someone confirm correct this, or is it just earl himself who no longer builds?

Sounds right.

I couldn't remember what exactly happened, just remembered someone having one of the last s2k blocks built by earl.

Benson does the sleeving and Mike does the assembly.

My vote goes to Laskey Racing.

Mike has been doing the assemble for some time now, before Earl passed away. It was a pleasure to deal with him.

I have to chime in for InLine. Jeremy does a great build.

Laskey does a great job too. But my vote has to go to InLine-Pro.

Laskey did my build and it only took 4 weeks and it was shipped ASAP. The guy is awesome to work with and really knows what he is talking about and doing.
