Luurs Hot Rod Shop is in the southwestern suburbs and has done work for many of our members. They have won several World of Wheels awards and done high-end work including replica metal bodes of special European collector cars for a couple of our members.  On this occasion owner Mike Luurs told us what goes into a cost-no-object paint job, and metal craftsman extraordinaire Fred Mayer took us through the intricacies of rust repair.
