    Just wanted to give a public shout out of thanks to the Street Rodder guys on the fabulous East Coast article done on our shop (as well as a few others 'round here).

    Although I look old & tired in my pictures. Chuck Vranas managed to get me smiling (gasp!) and show off some great stuff of everyone's.

    Hats off to the rest of the shops in the area for making the article as well.

    hiboyroadsterboy's dad and Nelly's car were also pictured.(HAMB)

    (here is a link to my section- sorry - the article was too big for me to save the entire thing online....)

    thanks for the kudos everyone- I think EVERY shop that got spotlighted was really happy on how the article turned out. That Chuck Vranas is a master at being able to make a shop look cleaner, bigger and more efficient - all with the lense of a camera.

    AMAZING every time I see him do his thing.

    But then again- my shop is AWLAYS that clean (not!)

    You guys will be able to see some of the stuff up close and personal at my May 9th Open House. Bring your rides. Info will be on my website at a later time.

    It would be nice if the magazines would start to notice that there is a whole country out there and not just the west coast.

    awesome- I am so thrilled that the rest of the country sees what we all do on the East Coast. It may not be as warm, but we still have some hot stuff out here!
