Event Coverage Gnrs shop tours/open houses?

my pops and I are Putting our T roadster in the suede palace this coming January/February. Coming out from South Dakota and want to hit some shops prior to the show. Anyone know who usually has an open house? Been out once before and hit Kennedy bros, so cal, Lucky’s and a few others I can’t think of at the moment.

 

Stokers in Upland , Early Ford Store and So-Cal in San Dimas. Great little Italian restaurant beside the Early Ford Store, perfect place for lunch, super Pastrami sandwich's and cold draft beer.

 

The Justice Bros. Museum in Duarte is worth the drive. Been there a few times.

Yes we went to early Ford store. So we will be representing your t5 to flathead adapter.

 

Are any of the shops open on friday or is thursday the best day to check them out?

 

I always wanted to get into Galpin Ford.

 

Anybody have any info on things to see around GNRS time? We are coming out for a week. The Petersen and NHRA Museums are on the list along with Aerobooks in Burbank. I also want to hit Bob' Bigboy in Burbank for the cruisenight. I made the trip about 15 years ago and these are a few of the places we went.
Anymore suggestions? I'm hoping to see some shop open houses.

 

Plus Waldens speed shop, and Lucky Burton place.

 

Here is what I have found so far.

Luckys is unsure if he will have a party, it all depends on the tweety bird build.
