Fantonworks Meet Summer 2017 - Norfolk, VA

Perhaps it's the adrenaline from Lafayette that's provided the inspiration, but last weekend's got me thinking about future meets. For those of you that watch the Velocity channel, you may have heard of Fantonworks ( http://fantomworks.com/).

Fantonworks is a custom automotive restoration (focusing primarily on muscle cars pre 1973) shop in Norfolk, VA. Every Friday at 3PM they hold tours of the facility. I spoke with Melissa, their HR Rep, earlier today and she advised that Dan Short (owner) and the Fantomworks crew would be more than happy to host us. The tour typically lasts about an hour and if we give enough of a heads up, Melissa will ensure the owner/star of the show Dan Short will be available.

At this point, I'd like to get a sense of those interested and able to attend. There are plenty of things to do in the Norfolk, VA area so we could easily make a short weekend of it.

Tentatively planning for late June or July. Thoughts?

Count me in, definitely interested. It would be great to have another meet (or two) in between the 25th Anniversary and next year's Reading meet.

I'd be interested in that too. My uncle lives in Norfolk and its been too long since I've seen him anyway so i could make a trip out of it. Keep me in the loop if you plan something.
