That would be a cool 6 hour drive across the entire NY state if my car was on the road. Maybe could make it next year it I am feeling confident my car is mechanically sound.

Not sure if I will make it, but going to try for sure.
Just 30min or so away from me.

I have been there before and got a walk through tour with Peter. Great place and amazing to see some of the work they do.

Not a bad turn out for this area.
Great to get a full tour of the facilities as well.
Got to watch a few pieces go through the press, milling of a die, polishing of a die, full explanation of all equipment as well.
Great guys, lots of parts!

I didn't get a full shot of the parking lot when all the cars pulled in so hopefully Pete post's something.

Some shots from the open house (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
We had a sneak peek of all the new dies being made, lots more parts in the pipeline.

2nd pic the row of parts are just the 914 parts, if you add the other parts they carry there must have been at least 2500 sq/ft of that shelving with inventory.

The last pic is a brand new outer rocker. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My outer rocker panels came from restoration design. Very nice product. I got tired of searching for original ones they were all crap.
