    You'll be close to Plowboy but I don't know if that's a good thing. Where in champaign are you moving to? I live on n. Garfield around the corner from Huber's.

    Yes, but Dupo has the best crack ever!

    Are you talking about the strip club in East STL that has the new LED sign? You can see it when your coming on the Popular from Rt.3. Ok, maybe not. :D

    I just moved from Champaign about two years ago. Their is a local club the SunDowners, but they are an older bunch. They have tons of knowledge and are really cool. There used to be a cool shop in Seymour right outside of champaign called GS customs. Greg Stallmeyer runs it and he is super cool and helpful also.

    There are a few of us west of Champaign towards Decatur, Monticello, and Cisco that all tinker with the junk as long as you don't mind drinking beer and playing a little grabass. Ha Ha ha If you are looking for a "Scene" you are out of luck.

    Gregg is super cool and he is going to be painting the Atomic Punk soon, he is a real shop though and doesn't mind people stopping in every now and again as long as you don't linger too long....he does need to make money. Ha Ha ha

    My buddy Terry lives in Mahomet, he usually has some good junk laying around. You won't be able to miss his body shop in town if you are looking for junk, but it isn't the shop that has had the 2 40 Ford trucks sitting outside for the past 5 years. My brother lives there too, he has a couple of Hondas. Ha Ha Ha

    Hey man,

    Welcome home! There's a handful of us just 5 miles west of Mahomet. Little wide spot in the road called Mansfield. Look me up when you get here. About half a dozen of us gray beards meet for breakfast at Peoples Cafe in Farmer City every Saturday morning. Join us if ya can.

    Haven't been there in 30+ years, though, so I guess any info I might have would be a litttle out-of-date...

    Gregg painted my Dad's chopper a while back and did a kick ass job. Has he made any progress on his Impala?
