One of the most common questions I get is, “So, where’s your company shop?” Everyone seems to assume we’re building project cars in a spacious company shop stocked with assistants and a craft services table. You know, the type of shop most people assume every car magazine au…

We'll do one before too terribly long! Maybe sometime after the $2000 Challenge.

All those cars that went for sale at auction I guess didn't make the cut for the new garage? Maybe they helped pay for the new shop also. Maybe bring the PL510 Datsun over for shop and what it's being done to it.  Can't wait for future projects from your new team.

Congratulations. Having a company shop make so much sense, especially for video production work (an inevitability now). But it also makes so much sense to have a central location for multiple staffers to help each other on bigger projects. I almost can't believe you guys worked out of home shops and garages for so long.

Congrats! If it was any bigger you would need to change the name to Elite Motorsports or maybe Grasstops Motorsports.

Needs more pallet racks though... gotta rent square feet and use cubic feet.

I may not have my own garage for fun projects—dang apartments—but I can always count on something going on in the new shop. It's kind of like a home away from home.
