Some Comments From Our Valued Customers ...
This page suffered a catastrophic error on October 19, 2010 and I lost over 3 ½ years of feedback. I’m now in the midst of reconstructing prior comments and adding the Before & After pictures back in. I very much appreciate your patience and understanding in the interim. ~ Leanna ~

Thanks again,

Re: My Dad's gittin old/Good Chickie alert!!!
Well I got an e mail today from our own lovely Hott chickie powdercoater Ms Leanna from phoenix specialty coatings asking if my dad got his air cleaner yet????
... so I call over to Grandiddy's house and asked him if he had gotten any packages today and he say's "i got this kewl cake cover and the sweetest note from some chick from tennessee." ...so I go over there and sure enough he's taken the air cleaner lid from leanna and used it to cover the chocolate cake my mom (his ex wife) made for him and racheal.
...so I scored a piece of cake but he won't let me or racheal read the note????? wtf??? so Good Chickie alert anyway!!!!
what'd tha dang note say????

OMG ! OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!!
I shouldn't be "texting and driving" but it's a safe stretch and I have to reply to company e-mails all the time anyway.
I woulda never thunk it. To say I'm impressed would be a gross understatement. Many thanks !
Decal ............ I've no preference to color. Thank you. I'm going to do a "board" of vendors who made the Dart look like what it will eventually be.
I'll be posting [on ForABodiesOnly.com] when my signal is better and the boat is stopped (don't want to log on when moving).

Re: Leanna has worked her magic!
Here's a pic of my M/T valve covers I sent Leanna to powder coat.
I bought these from J-Mac awhile back (they were painted red) but in decent shape. Leanna has a before pic, hope she can add to this with the pic before? Anyway, they look awesome and will look great on my 408 in the 66 Dart. I'm shooting for the old school look (nostalgia). ... Thanks again Leanna, your work is impeccable! Are you sure these are mine? LOL

I sent my new manifold and valve covers to our CudaChick and WOW!!! What a great job!! The parts were coated Alien Silver over Ink Black and then clear coated. The pictures barely do the parts justice. In the sun they just pop.
Any you guys contemplating powder coating, I highly recommend their work. And to all who recommended and praised their work you were right!
And a special thanks to Leanna, you made the experience easy for me, and did a GREAT job.
Check out the work ...

Quick note, the post man just delivered the new air cleaner. Ripped it open to check it out and its perfect! Couldn't be more satisfied, thanks so much.
Trip to Japan set my car work on the back burner a bit but can't wait to get back at it. I know that air cleaner will make it run real fast now. haha
but it'll look good.
Take care!

Leanna, I got it today all wrapped up snug like a bug in a rug. That air cleaner looks so awesome that I almost hate to put in on my car, haha ..... NOT. I may display it (show it off) for the time being till my car is finished......give or take a few years.
I know who and where my powdercoating needs will be going to. Thanks for ALL the effort you and Billy have put into it on restoring this piece to it's glory!
I will post the new pics and comments in the thread I started back in October, and will put them in my gallery.
Thank you so much,

Dear Ms. Johnson,
I received the Mickey Thompson finned aluminum valve covers I sent to you for powder coating and installation of a custom designed decal. I have never been more pleased with the quality of the work done on these items than any other outside service I have contracted.
Your work, careful coordination to insure correctness, promptness, and careful re-packing for shipment should be standards.
I am thoroughly pleased with the results and will not hesitate to recommend Phoenix Specialty Coatings to ANYONE who is considering powder coating.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Steven D.

... but then there was more . . .
Okay enough of the junk you can use on the web.
Leanna, I am happy like a Snoopy happy dance. I came home from work, pizza and beer in hand, my alma mater freshly crowned BCS National Champs, and found the box with the valve covers. They are an "out-of-the-park-home run".
I really could not be more pleased with the results. There's only one more thing that could make this night better, but it ain't gonna happen. I'm not going to be greedy but will enjoy the moment. Thank you, thank you.
I have a Dallas Mopar Club meeting on Sunday. Guess what I'm taking for "show and tell"?

Re: Useful Vendor Reviews - ForABodiesOnly.com
#1 Phoenix Specialty Coatings powdercoated a set of SB Magnum valve covers for me. They can handle all engine parts and now bigger items with their new oven.
#2 Work quality is excellent and customer service is really special. Leanna went above and beyond in working with me to match a color I wanted, complete to sending me color chips to compare prior to doing the work. She also fixed an issue with the baffles on the covers and alerted everyone on FABO to a potential problem.
#3 They're located in Greenfield, TN, but she is a FABO member so you can contact her here as well.
#4 website link: http://phoenixspecialtycoatings.com/
#5 I will certainly use their services again.

Leanne [sic], the air cleaner looks perfect. I thought I would snap a shot of the engine it will eventually top once all the other work is done.
Thanks again for your help and I hope you'll gain some work from the parts exposure at Carlisle. Let me know if I can do anything more to help out.

According to UPS, I should get my intake manifold and timing chain cover back from Leanna tomorrow. She promises I'll be beyond happy. Soooooooooooo, with apologies to the authors of Twas the Night Before Christmas, here goes:
Twas the night before delivery, when all through the garage
Not a vehicle was stirring, not even a Dodge (poetic license, you know)
The tools were hung by the workbench with care
In hopes my powder coated parts would soon be there
I was snuggled all snug in my bed
While visions of chrome danced in my head
My fastback in the garage and I in my (BOG) cap
Had just settled in for a long nights nap
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But Billy and Leanna and eight ice cold beer
With a little old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it was UPS delivery man Nick
More rapid than eagles the coaters they came
and he whistled and shouted and callled them by name
"Now Leanna, now Billy, now Slimer and Camaro - they all came
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall!
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
So up on the house top the coaters, they flew
With the sleigh full of parts, and Sox and Martin too.
And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
And I drew in my hand, and was turning around
Down the chimney Leanna came with a bound
She was dressed in a BOG shirt and short shorts from her head to her foot
And her clothes were all tarnished with grease and soot
A bundle of parts she had flung on her back
and she looked like a peddler just opening her pack
Her eyes, how they twinkled, her dimples how merry
Her cheeks were like roses, her nose like a cherry
She stood so tall as to almost fall
Because the clogs on her feet were six inches tall. (Oh Jim, you know me so well!!!! LMAO)
Billy was with her, trying to spell Cheby
And cussing a storm as Fiat and Chrysler are now heavy
He had a broad face and a big round belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread
He spoke not a word but went straight to work
Leaving me a powder coated manifold and timing cover, perk
And laying her finger aside her nose
Leanna gave a nod, up the chimney they rose
She sprang to Slimer, to her horses she gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard her exclaim, ere she drove out of sight
"PHOENIX DID COAT THEM, YOUR PARTS SURE ARE BRIGHT"
Can't wait until tomorrow when I get to open my Christmas presents early …

Leanna & Billy:
Received my intake manifold and timing chain cover this week but have been too tied up to write to thank you. Better looking than I had hoped for. Your quality work will add greatly to my car's appearance.
I was especially impressed when you called to point out that I needed repair work for my heat crossover, you could have just as easily finished the powder coating and shipped these back to me. Quality work, quality service at a reasonable price.
Thanks for including some cards, I'll make sure I pass them out to those needing work. Feel free to use me as a reference any time.
Thanks again!

A Special Thanks goes out to Cuda Chick and Phoenix Specialty Coatings for the exceptional treatment I got and the superior job they did on my 66 Cuda control arms and hardware. I won’t even hold it against you that you referred to 
my parts as 66 dart.....lol
We will definitely be doing business again, you exceeded my expectations and kept me in the loop throughout the process.
Thanks again!

Re: Great Work by PSC
We just had our intake manifold powdercoated by an outfit in TN called Phoenix Specialty Coating (PSC). When we restored our bird we had many parts powdered by a local firm, but they were all either black or silver - the local firm didn't want to special order any other colors or (anymore) do small jobs.
We learned of PSC on another forum I frequent and I want to pass along how pleased we are with the work they done. After my initial contact they sent me several color swatches for matching up (we settled on Poncho Blue). We sent the intake, PVC bracket, thermostat housing and a handful of bolts. They turned them around in a week for us! And the quality of the work is way above what we got locally.
Pictures can be found here: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=59923, or you can contact me directly and I will be glad to send you the pics. The color has a little more blue in it, but we intend to send the valve covers in this fall which will mitigate the slight color difference.
I am not related to these folks, but they were super to deal with, price was reasonable and I am happy to give them a plug. If you are considering any powdercoating, give these good folks a try.

Re: My Valve Cover Job
This is the great job that Leanna at "Phoenix Specialty Coatings" did to bring my engine's looks back to life.
There's nothing like having the original parts reborn to keep a car's originality yet give it that newness at the same time. You be the judge.
These are the same valve covers that came on my car 31 years ago 'after' they were polished and refinished by Leanna at Phoenix Specialty Coatings. This is what they mean when they say it's "Where Your Parts Are Reborn."
Thank you Leanna ... Great job!!

Re: Valve Covers, I am one happy camper!!! :-)
Hey Leanna,
They look wonderful, and I could not be happier.
Again, thanks for all your great work.
Stay tuned for more feedback from 2007-2008 … Leanna
