Completely down. Maybe even Friday or worst case, this weekend. We can use my garage as I’m sure your Dad’s hospitality is running low on the use of his shop.

Never got to meet Al or see his shop, I might tag along when yours are ready (“Hey Al, remember me? Yu did a set of my 2L Fuchs nine years ago?”)

agree.gif absolutely. i just did five of them, from sandblasted finish down to polish. never again. days and days out of my life, and i'm sure i injested a half pound of aluminum in the process.

I talked to Al about a group thing and he said all that would do to him is flood him in work. He's not keeping up with the incoming wheels now. He is charging us the same thing he charged Mike 18 months ago.

Whenever anyone goes to Al Reed's be sure
to stop by 2980 Coronado and say hi. We
keep two teeners in the shop and usually
a couple other P-cars as well.
