For those of of that do not know, Mike Maier is in the process of opening his own business. He is now Mike Maier Inc. This is an exciting new chapter in Mike's career. We expect even greater products and support from his new shop. He just got the keys to the new shop last week.

Mike is the chassis builder of my 1973 Camaro and guy behind my shock and spring setup on my 1965 Corvette that won the 2013 OUSCI. He has built and set up many championship winning cars, including his own 1966 Mustang, 1980 Mustang, and 1966 Mustang of multi-champ Frank Stagnaro that he co-drives. Mike just won his 7th National Championship is Frank's car.

So this is a separate business from Maier Motorsports?

Yes it is. Mike has left Maier Racing and Maier Motorsports. It looks a bit confusing now, but it will all work out really soon.

I'm excited for this new phase of Mike's automotive building career. Mike is a super sharp car builder & suspension guy ... as well as a heck of a driver.

:thumbsup:

Thanks Brian and Ron. Yes Brianne and I have now started our own business. It is called Mike Maier inc. We have completely started from scratch and we are excited, to say the least. Our goal is to continue to grow our knowledge of suspension so that we can provide a well suited product for each of our customers and their needs. Our new location is in Livermore Ca. We have been overwhelmed with support that has fueled the movement even more so. The last few weeks have been engulfed in plumbing air lines , electrical and enough paint to make a guy feel no pain for quite some time. I must say again that Brianne and I are most thank full of the support that has occurred. People that we haven't seen in some time to the regulars and also people who didn't even know us stepped up huge. You have our word that we will do our best to repay the good karma given to us by providing a service to our friends and customers that is nothing but the best. We can't wait to get that welder burning some steel. We are getting very close to be able to start things up. Keep your eye out, we're coming.

That's freaking hilarious! La Mexicana I believe makes up most of my right leg. I have also noticed some withdrawal like symptoms. You know... the shakes and stuff. So I have had covert shipments of chips and salsa delivered from a local coyote. If you guys need some I can probably hook it up.

Try Cholula’s down on Kitty Hawk. Use to have lunch there a few years back. Good stuff as Im picky with my burrito's and fish taco's.

Yes it is. Mike has left Maier Racing and Maier Motorsports. It looks a bit confusing now, but it will all work out really soon.

So is it that:
- Maier Racing is the fiberglass side?
- Motorsports the suspension side
- Maier Inc. will be its own animal?

Mike is doing his own suspension stuff. What Maier Racing and Maier Motorsports is doing is pure speculation. Mike and Brianne originally wanted to use Maier Motorsports as their company name but legally aren't able to so that's technically not a name used anymore. So their company name is currently Mike Maier inc.

Mike has been working some long hours getting his front and rear suspension installed in a car that's getting ready for SEMA. He's hired another fabricator and should be starting to produce some of the most popular suspension components and kits next week.

He currently plans on having the 66 coupe at SEMA as well and running OUSCI. I'll be towing the car out caravaning with Brian Hobaugh and Mike will be out from Thursday on.

Its a 70 Mach1 Chetly. Been corresponding with Brianne.
I'm looking at the front coil over set up and am about to put some new shock towers in so just waiting to see what options I have with the new set up and what is involved before I go too much further and have to undo fab work. Excited.

Well then your in good hands. Brianne will take care of ya. I know Mike just revamped the subframe connectors on our friends 68 Mustang so it shouldn't be long.

And from what Brian said, they will be doing more than just Ford? And just suspension work? or a little outside that too?

I'd like to know as i know a few people they know and i know that they are quality people (by reputation) and i live in Livermore and have a small company in Dublin and can send some stuff their way....

Initially he's doing some of the Mustang stuff, but is looking at branching out into other things. As many of you know, Mike built the chassis for Brian and his 73 Camaro. There is also a first gen Camaro in the shop right now that is getting the pushrod suspension.

Are you able to say who it belongs to?

Not sure what his name is. I've only met him once. I know he does a lot of the machining of aluminum bits that Mike uses.
