Speaking if his annual open house, each year during SEMA he would clear out one of his warhouses and host a car show/gathering for his many car freinds. Diana and I were able to make it one year with a couple of our cars. A lot of great memories. Here is a shot of some of the cars that were there year.
BTW, during the 24 hour trip from Alton to Vega we suffered numerous brake and tire issues with our trailer. When we got there, as soon as we unloaded, Steve had his crew hard at work repairing the damaged parts.
