Hey guys, I'm having an open house at my shop Saturday March 17, 2007. I'm inviting the Southern Performance Ford Club, Carolinas Region Falcon Club and of course the Carolina Marauders. There will be Barbeque, horse shoes, nice cars and the opportunity to see the resources and current projects I'm working on. Hours 10:00 am 'til 4:00 pm.
Directions: From Charlotte take I-485 to Hwy 74 East(I believe it's exit 51). Turn right at the first light (Stallings Rd.). Take the third left on Smith Farm Rd.. I'm located on the right in the only curve on the road, adjacent to the cedar lumber yard. 3800-B Smith Farm Rd. Tan building behind the American Legion. (Hint: There is a 200 ft. tall cell tower that is based at my back door)Phone:704-684-0435. Look forward to seeing y'all there.

Great guys! Look forward to seeing y'all there. Cheesehead, I should have the basic Cokes, Ice and water covered. The American Legion Post adjacent to my shop will be catering to those wanting a beverage of choice. My Snap On tool Guy used to be a stunt coordinator on the original Dukes of Hazzard and now he puts on "Dukes" show all over the country. He'll be there and may have a General Lee or Roscoe cop car. It should be a lot of fun!

Dropped my MM off at frdwrnch's shop yesterday. Will pick it up next Saturday, you can bet I'll be there bright and early to give it the first test drive with mods installed!

Rumor has it that the American Legion hall next door to the shop sells "adult beverages," so there's at least a 50% (heck, 90%! :lol: ) chance that I may sample one (heck, prolly more than one! :lol: ), be it green or otherwise, while on the premises. If E-Dubb has the day off, he may come along to spread a little of his special brand of sunshine (as in:bs: ).

:( My sister called this morning to let me know my Grandpa Joe
passed away. I'm heading out tonight to travel to Chicago to
attend his funeral and to "be there" for my Aunts and Cousins.

My luck and meeting up with you guys is just not in the stars :help:

My sincere apologies, I won't be able to make it :bigcry:

:banana: Congratulations and good luck with the Grand Opening. :banana:

3800-B Smith Farm Rd.

Hey Frdwrnch. I'm planning on being there. Just want to verify the address. Is this a Charlotte address? I'm going to put it into my NAV system, and just want to make sure of what city I should be inputing. It's kind of picky about that.

Probably be close to lunch time when I get there, so I can have time to get my car out of "storage" and clean it up some first, plus give the streets time to dry up some.

See everyone there!

fastblackmerc

3800-B Smith Farm Road
Matthews, NC 28104

See you there!

Nope. Same ride, I guess it's been awhile since I've seen him...he was still running his SB-MM the last time we got together.

BTW, talked to frdwrnch today. Gears are in, CAI installed, chip has been flashed. UDP's haven't arrived yet, so will have to schedule another visit to get those put in.

Hope the weather is good tomorrow, can't wait to try out the car and see how she goes.

Here's another hoping for good weather!!! Sadly, I held off until today on giving my car a much-needed wash without looking at the weather reports...and then all the rain today preventing me from washing it anyway. So it will not be clean like it deserves to be. :( But! I'll be there just the same and expecting to have a blast!
