    IRCOOTER, I am located in Rochester and know most of the hot rod shops in the area and would be glad to act as a guide for you. Plus, I belong to a local club that has nearly 150 members and mabny of them have great cars that I'm certain they would be glad to show off. IM me and perhaps we can work something out.

    Duff's is good but by far the best are Peter K's on Harlem in Cheektowaga. Damn those little fuckers are tasty and it brings back good memories since my father took me there a lot when I was growing up. Duff's is more a Chicken Wing Soup.:D:D

    If you have an extra 42.5K Thunderbirdesq is selling his roadster and it's probably the most authentic hot rod I've seen in a long time.

    Its April in WNY. Pack a parka and a bathing suit, you may need them both.

    Niagara Falls is a must see if you havn't been there. If you want to hit the Canadian side of the falls (lots of reasons to do that!!) make sure you bring your passport.

    If you have never been to Niagara Falls, go there.
    I installed the elevators on Skylon Tower on the Canuck side.

    Thanks for all the info, helps to plan a trip when you qet a feel for the lay of the land. The HAMB is amazing when you have guys from opposite ends of North america and two different countries go so far as to offer to pick up a complete stranger from the airport, invite them to come and hang out with their buddy's, and show you around town.:cool:
