Default Does anyone know Troy Trepanier?

I am going to Chicago next Saturday for business and I wanted to stop in a see his shop. I heard that he is really inviting if you call him in advance. I met him back in '89-90 when we were both skinny and had mullets ..... nobody knew about him back then. He was real cool and seems to still be grounded.

I figured if anyone knew him, maybe we could all meet there or you could let me know when is a good time to call the guy. I heard a little about his current project and I am pumped to see it!!!!

Wish I could visit his shop.....maybe someday! I met his parents back in the early 90's at the Car Craft show in Minneapolis. If Troy is anything like he appears or at all like his father it will be fun visit.

Don't forget pics!
