    Hey Gang:

    I have a project going in Irvine over the summer and will be down about every other week.

    Are there any Mustang and/or Speed shops in the area that I should take the time to visit???

    Appreciate any recommendations that you all may have!!!!

    Tnx...

    XMP is up in Aliso Viejo, not very far from Irvine. They are pretty busy but Eric the owner is a really cool guy.

    Hey Guys:

    Thanks... Will be back down this Friday. Not sure if I will have time, but will be back just about every two weeks... Went to California Mustangs last week, but not much of a show room...

    Any others come to mind, please post...

    Hey Gang:

    Just wanted to let you know that I made it to X-M-P on my last trip to Irvine... What a cool shop and great owner... Eric spent at least a 1/2 hour with me showing me the cars and motors they are building and talked to me a little bit about the motor build that I am wanting to do -- Even tho he knew I was from out of town and wouldn't be taking my car there...

    You all are very lucky to have such a top notch shop in your neighborhood!!!!

    BTW -- What's with all the dang toll roads down there!!!!!

    Thanks for the advice....
