Very cool. I'm in Cave Creek and would sure like to get a close up look at that monster.

Are there any other Phx metro guys and gals that would like to get together? Maybe do a garage tour? You know, visit a shop, stop for breakfast, visit another shop, eat lunch, visit two more shops, eat dinner.
