US VW shop visits/open houses
I won't post too many pics up here, but moreso a bit of a snapshot of a few of the vw shop visits and open houses in the last week leading up to the
VW Classic - some very nice cars with some very big budgets!
Shawn Geers runs a performance shop/engineering from his home - has a killer mid 10 second street beetle (blue car in background) and currently
building a pro stock car for a customer.
One example of Shawn's handy work (blurry pic unfortunately)
House of Power (heads up performance) shop dyno:
Customer's engine. Roger Crawford's (owner of shop) super street ghia runs in the 9's in the quarter mile and into the 5's in the eighth mile (no
turbo!).

Between 12 and 1pm each day people can visit Chip Foose's shop to check out the amazing builds happening (budgets start at $200K so no complaining
about your vw resto cost please...haha)
Was fortunate enough to meet the man himself and have a brief chat (thats me on the right in case people don't know who Chip Foose is).

West Coast Classic Restorations again had some very nice cars in for restoration as well as others who attended for the open house. They were just
finishing Jesse James' 50 (or maybe 51) cab when I visited late last week.

You'll be bored at the Aussie shows after seeing all that Alan  Nice
pics. I'm very jealous that you met Chip Foose.
