Very excited to take my first trip to the Windy City and enjoy the company of this talented team of artists. Thanks again Mike. See you all there!

Pete,
You're travelling by car with 2 of the other team members correct?
If so, share your travel adventure on the forum and facebook....
That would be cool!

Mike we are traveling by car. It should be a ton of fun. I am traveling by car from New Jersey but first Jared ( comp ready alumni) begins the journey from New Hampshire. After he arrives in NJ I plan to take him to my Corvette shop and a few elite warehouse collections I care take of also. The next morning we will drive from Jersey straight throughly to o'hare illinois. I will make sure to document it on the form and post some photos also.

WOW I thought it was for locals to participate in
That's a long way to drive to help detail a car for a TV show. Don't know about making or producing a show but surely there's a lot left on the cutting room floor, hope it's worth the ride across the country though.

Klasse Act I am sure it is for most people but not for someone as obsessed and passionate about paint restoration/detailing. It is really not far to travel if you have ever had a chance to spend time with Mike Phillips, it is most definitely worth it. I am thrilled to meet up with some great friends I have made at autogeek and we plan to possibly even tour the Volo museum. I am not by any means doing it for tv or the amazing car. I am happy I have the opportunity to do some amazing cars day in and day out but the chance to spend time with great detailers is priceless. It is also a incredible experience to be a part of a ground breaking show for our industry.
If anyone ever gets the opportunity to be in the presence of vast knowledge and experience like Mike has to offer, do it. No matter how skilled anyone may be there is more to learn, enjoy and share.

Hi Pete - if you are planning on visiting the Volo museum, it could take you 40-60 min from Rosemont depending on traffic...so plan accordingly and have fun.

Thank you Cabrio! I would like to go but it will all come down to time available before our long drive back to the coast. Any must have pizza or Chicago treats in the Rosemount/O'Hare area?
Thanks for the insight!

O'Hare is the airport, not a town or city, just an FYI. As far as pizza is concerned you can't go wrong with Lou Malnati's or Giordono's
As far as why your coming over from I-80 goes surely it's not about being on tv but I could see how my comment would be taken but you could see how and why I might think that as well. I'd like to be around something like this or Detail Fest but I don't think I could ever swing it, so that's why I'm looking forward to seeing this new TV show.
The Volo isn't really all that great to be honest, the movie cars are hacked but the military collection IS pretty awesome! I'd say check out the Klaremont Kollection on the north side of the city, closer for sure and a higher quality of cars too!
Enjoy your time here

Yes - Lou Malnati's or Giordono's, definitely cannot go wrong.
That's the funny thing about the Volo Auto Museum. I haven't met someone who really doesn't like it...there seems to be at least one exhibit that someone thinks is pretty cool.

I like my Giordano's I only live about a mile from one, however going there starving and ordering a pizza is not a good idea, as it takes about a hour to cook !
I always call in ahead about 30 mins before I go, that way I don't eat all the bread or appetizers !

For you out of towners here's the break down of the two pizza places:
-Lou's has a buttery, flakey crust and great toppings.
-Giordono's has gooey cheese, great sauce and great toppings.
I love both places and they both offer something different. You WILL see billboards for Giordono's and they are distracting! I will say there's a small place near the airport, that does deliver, called Salerno's that makes a great deep dish, so if you guys get in and don't feel like going out, call em up and you'll be happy, trust me!!

I'll just add, if you're staying near the airport, stop in to Shoeless Joe's. Nice sports "bar".

Ha! I've never been there, I just might have to check it out someday.
Nice write up! Both are right there in Rosemont so the crew should have two very nice Chicago pizza choices :hungry:
