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 :headbang:..... 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!!!!

I was there after the Power Tour. Just stopped in uninvited and met everyone you see on tv. They were all great and basically let my friend and I walk around all over the shop. I snapped a few pics too.

Those pictures are awsome......I dig the 'cuda. I tried to talk the guys into stopping during the Power Tour as well, but everyone wanted to go eat at J.C. Whitney. Dang, I see that was a mistake.

Thanks for the pictures!

The very far car is the Riddler entrant that was the only thing we couldn't take a pic of. It looks amazing though as does everything that is there.

There is a sign on the overhead garage door that says Rad Rides by Troy with the gears. It is very small at that.
