Default FLP's shop..................nice

Blonde C5, our local friend Pam & I were in the area yesterday so I figured we would stop in & say :seeya to Chuck & Mitch.
Had a good chat with them both and Mitch and Chuck were kind enough to take .....an hour + to show me around the place and talk car stuff.
Nice set -up guys..........and MTI 427 Roadster.........I tryed to get the keys to go for a base line run but :jester it didn't happen :lol: nice car! 315s arn't big enough are they:D
I sure gotta get me some of the SS truck headers..true bolt on's and they look sweet! Mitch openned a box up for me.
Again thanks guys, and I guess you will have some big news to share for new year.............see ya in feb guys :reddevil :thumbs:

Steve... glad that you could stop by and that we could give you the tour! Feel free to stop by again when you're in the area. :D Those LS1 truck headers were pretty nice, huh? Maybe Santa will bring you a set if you were good this year. :lol:

Thanks,
Mitch
