Our first big local show is coming up real soon; The Canton Hot Rod Show is Jan 25 to the 27th.

The swap meets are lining up their dates, so if you need some parts get ready to buy! Also make sure you get your orders in for those parts you need to order. With the Christmas Holidays soon over it will be time to turn the garage heater on and get to work on those changes you have been planning. If you need to get some shop work done, make sure you get on their calendar so when it’s time to Cruise you will be ready. Don’t forget that Howards Upholstering has moved to a new location about a mile East from where he was. Check his site on the website and don’t forget to get a time frame set up to get your work done. Talking about getting ready, Check Big Al’s List for the 3 locations that have Bus Trips going to the Cobo Center in Detroit for the Detroit AutoRama from Cleveland, Mentor and Wooster!
