This past Saturday we put the wrenches and ratchets down and crawled out from our garage, leaving the race car still transmission less and my wife\u2019s Mustang project still not finished. And much like the official rodent of our home state of Pennsylvania we saw our shadows due to this mysterious bright yellow ball way up in the air, after weeks of rain and overcast skies it was a welcome break. This rare sunny February Saturday just happen to coincide with the annual Rob\u2019s Rod Sop Open House a few towns over, so off we went! With their 2020 shindig falling on Valentine’s weekend this year, proprietors Rob and Erin McCall dubbed this year\u2019s edition the \u201cNothing Says Love Like Horsepower Open House\u201d. Perfect!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rob\u2019s Rod Shop, located in Downingtown, Pa is a cool slice of gearhead nirvana, part repair\/installation facility, part old school speed shop and they have a hub dyno, truly a one stop for all your Bangshifting needs. We picked up a Quick Fuel billet fuel regulator while we were there! Poking around inside the shop we spied Rob\u2019s personal Shelby Dakota pick-up project that was well underway, along with a sweet \u201968 Super Bee in for some upgrades. Rob, Erin and John laid out a spread of food and cleared out a bay for some bench racing space and the locals showed up in droves. It was great running into so many friends we hadn\u2019t seen since the tracks and car shows folded up for the winter. And thanks to all the recent rain washing the salt of the roads, many brought their hot rods out for the festivities. The McCall\u2019s are of the Mopar persuasion but enjoy and work on everything as evidenced by the variety of customer cars filling the parking lot. The Delaware Valley Mopar Association made a strong showing along with a few Mustangs, some Chevy muscle, some killer \u201850\u2019s iron and lots more filling any open space in the packed lot. Restored muscle, modern EFI converted street machines, trucks and street rods were everywhere and most had some Rob\u2019s Rod Shop DNA in them. Check out the photos and thanks to Rob and Erin for hosting us.<\/p>\n
