Default LA area shops to visit...

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?

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 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!!!
