Orangemagic what kind of paint did you use on your car? Car looks awesome! I always love seeing it at car craft. I used to live in st. paul with parents so car craft is a must each summer, I just graduated from college and found this job.

Supplies to paint your car, not body parts. Sandpaper, thinner, tack rags, paint, glues, ect. Stuff for painting body panels and repairs. We have excellent service and deliver to most anyone.

Yea they got the shop a little while back. I used to buy alot of items from them about 3 years ago while I was working on my trans am. They were talking about getting a shop back then but couldn't find a good location for there needs. I have not yet made it that way to check it out but I HOPE soon they have some kind of open house/dyno day.

Its more than likely going to be May 14th or the 21st. Not quite sure what the day will be filled with, but will probably be 10am-3pm, there will be cars on display, specials and prizes, burgers and dogs on the grill. We will encourage everyone to bring their rides, and we hope to fill the parking lot, grass area, and street!

Some other possibilites are:

-A couple dyno runs to exhibit dyno operation (prolly not a dyno day though)
-Radio station on site (depends on cost)
-Possible burnout contest (pending our landlord and the city's approval)

Any other suggestions are welcome and will be considered. We are still in the planning stages, but one of those dates above is what we are looking at.

Josh
