    Builders in San Jose area

     



    Just wondering if there are many builders out there is San Jose CA.

    I was thinking it would be fun to get together and look at some projects.

    I saw a cool idea on one of the forums, maybe here. These guys in some area do a "garage crawl" kinda deal where on a particular day they go to other rodders homes and visit their garages to see their in-progress cars. You know, "I'll show you mine if you show me yours".

    I bet everybody gets busy before that day cleaning the shop up though. I know I would be embarrassed to have anyone see how messy my section of our shop is.

    Hope you find some guys in your area to do this stuff with.

    We do that quite regularly here in Godzone country.....(although we call it a shed raid) in our own area, or if we're in another zone. It's always good to a) see what the other fellas are up to, and b) what someone else has stashed in their "unused good stuff" heap. (That's the heap She Who Must Be Obeyed calls rubbish.)
    So aproach your local Hot Rod Club oddcarout, it could be that they are already doing it.

    Shop tours are great!!! The local club here visits someone's shop after every monthly club meeting. Always a good time unless you are the one they visit, then you have to spend a whole day cleaning before all the company comes!!!!!!
