I'm in the LA area this week and in between sales calls I've managed to stop at a couple of awesome shops. I've gotten to meet Matt at Best of Show Coachworks, Steve Strope at Pure Vision, and I'll be at Anvil Auto tomorrow. Are there any other "MUST SEE" companies or shops I should squeeze in?

Oh, heck yea! How did I miss that one?!

Foose is another great one and I'd never heard of Cal Street Rods, I'll check them out too! Barry White is already on the list and I saw So-Cal last year while at the GNRS...

I think you just filled-up every last free moment I had! Awesome list, Thanks Greg!

They are on the work list... I've been trying to get Chico as a customer for quite a while!!!

Hollywood Hot Rods
I saw Troy today! Cool shop, very busy one too!!!

I hit terrible traffic (14 hours of driving) on Monday but I haven't had to slow down since! If that luck holds out tomorrow I'll have Friday completely free for fun visits! Anvil Auto also has a nose for my Firebird that I'm going to check out, maybe even take home!
***Update*** Matt & Manal hooked me up with a CF nose for the 'Bird!!! :hapdance:
