Man o Man ....what a shop our friend Eddie has and then
we visit John's shop a couple of 100 feet away.
Un-freaking believable.
Got the wife's B aligned for free. Hap was even wrenching on
friend's cars.
I took so many photos...everywhere I turned there were incredible things to see.
I narrowed the pics to about the following dozen or so.
Wish ya'll could have been there.

The white B is my wife's car.
The Morris is...words don't do it justice.

What a shop! Nice bunch of cars as well. What's that motor in the Morris?

Nice MGB too. A twin for the one I just bought. 15" wheels?
 
The Morris sports a twin cam from Toyota. Nicely badged.
I got a Speedwell plate surround for him he's gonna LOVE.
The owner was doing the alignment of the B. Real detailed.
We determined the B was a bit off square in the rear.
Maybe I'll loosen some bolts and give her a bit of a push
one day, but for now...no problem. Car drives great.
The front was spot on at 1/8 inch toe-in.
He did some others who weren't so lucky. The Morgan had about a 1/2 inch tow-out. Yikes. That is one FINE Morgan.
Another B had toe-out as well and had inside front tire wear
as a result.
Then there was Hap under your car on a lift in the other area.
FBCC ( Eddie is Prez) does a great job. I love their events.
Here's some PRECISE measurements being taken. Old School Baby!

Miss B's wheels are 14 inch VTOs. Ain't they purdy?


Check out the white carbon fiber monster on the lift.
1200 lbs. 750 HP....for real. Insane. That 427 Cobra and
GT40 almost get over-shadowed. The neon signs are awesome.
That Rotary Mini is sick. Inside and out.

The free pizza weren't bad either.
:wink:

Boy, I wish I lived closer. I'd love to take advantage of all that talent to dial in the Tunebug. Wow.

I like the wheels on your B. Very nice.
 
What time does the club meet on the second Tuesdays and is it still at Fatz in Easley?

That shop is where I am hoping to go when I die.

Meetings start at 7 pm, people show up around 6ish to bench race, car talk.

Beautifuly, heavenly shop, that!

That's not a shop, it's a MUSEUM! :yesnod:

You are correct. Eddie described John's place in
those terms too.
Eddie's shop is known as the Garage Mahal.
That's Eddie far right and Hap up under the car on the lift.
Both are great places for car nuts.
:driving:
