Jimmy Spencer's 90s NASCAR Busch Series Shop: Former Home of Mr Excitement! (Spencer Motor Ventures)

What happens here

Jimmy continues through the office wing, showing the various rooms that served different purposes. He points out his personal office, which is now undergoing remodeling and filled with tools and equipment. He reminisces about his philosophy of keeping work separate from home life, hence the need for a dedicated office and shop. The tour then leads into the breakroom and bathrooms, noting that these areas have been updated but still retain some original elements.

Goal: Review additional office spaces and support amenities within the building.

What they say

Hide

storage. Sheet metal. We used to do all our old sheet metal. Then you go out here to the shop. Oh, look at these cars. Holy cow. Oh, they added a lift. Then here like that went up to the shop. That went up to the storage. Then we built that. Then we had a forklift that would put the sheet metal. All all the stuff upstairs. Then this went in. This was the gear room, the suspension room, just similar what they got. We had a guy in here that would take care of the gears, transmissions, axles, wheel bearings. I think his name was Al Przinger. One of the best. Al was one of the best mechanics that I ever had on my race car. Don't get along with him now, but he was very meticulous. And that was the parts room from the other side. Ford. Look at this. This is a truck, isn't it? It is. That's why I figured it was a truck. [Music] Man, the shop looks bigger than it really is. But this was our shop. That's all we had. We had the cars lined up. Let me think how we did it. The cars lined up that way. And then we had a setup. I think the setup was over here. See if there's still marks on the floor. Did you have a surface plate? Yeah, we had a surface plate. expensive. Back then it was five grand. It's a lot more. They don't even use it now. They use roamings and all that kind of stuff. Then we had uh this was a setup shop. We set the car up and then we rolled it out. Now that goes into the other building. But be we didn't have the building. We didn't have the addition onto life. I don't even know how many years. I I don't even remember that getting old. See, this goes into this shop. And this wasn't here till I put the second team in. That's when we used this for storage and the two tractor trailers. And you could back the tractor trailers in here. Then you could load the cars. These guys are using it now as fabrication. Try to keep this clean in here. And it's all the same. And I think that was fab shop. We had a David McKay build a surface plate. We had a surface plate frame jig. He would put the bodies on. Oh, David was a great guy
