Tangent Design

[Gubni]

Drake AKA- Pitch got his shop open. It's called Tangent Design. He can do just about anything from roll cages, bumpers, custom axle installs, regearing, link type suspensions, and more.

Justin AKA Chaser is handling the schedule and pricing so Drake can focus on doing the work. Call him at 423-483-0627

The address is 411 W. Market St. Johnson City TN 37604. It's the only building on the block with a chain link fence all the way around it and it's across from NAPA.

Here's a map. It's between W. Market and W. Main St. with a gate on either side you can come in.
