Nick, I was wondering if you could be so kind as to post the names of some nearby hotels. Also, is there anything that we need to bring to the class? Should be bring our machines, towels, etc. or will you have some for us to use?

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I can hardly wait. You're going to cover some topics that I've been curious about for some time now.

Sorry bout the whole hotel thing, been busy and missing a ton of sleep right now I'll try to get some info up today about the nearby hotels.
As for machines, the more the better! I hope everyone has the desire, at some point in the class, to put a machine in their hands. And I don't have 30 machines So anything you can bring will help! Rotary, Flex, DA's...

If we have 1 car and 30 people with machines in their hands, how quick can we get that 1 car finished?

Alright guys, been checking on hotels.
The area where the shop is located is a heavy commercial/industrial area, and this means "not so great neighborhoods". So I've been trying to put a list of decent hotels together, and still stay relatively close to the shop. Only problem is my definition of "decent" and yours may be completely different. So here it goes...

1-Deluxe Inn (817) 834-1271.... 6401 Airport Fwy, Fort Worth, TX 76117. This one is literally right around the corner from the shop. If you don't mind roaches and bums, then this is the place for you. Personally, I wouldn't stay there, but thats just me


2-Ramada (817) 284-2126.... 125 NE Loop 820, Hurst, TX 76053. This one is better, but by no means a "5 star". OK neighborhood. Couple of small used car lots around it, but I probably wouldn't worry too much about it. It'd be close to the bottom of my list, but I would stay there.

3-Comfort Inn (817) 577-4389.... 5151 Thaxton Pkwy, North Richland Hills, TX 76180. Not a bad place, but pretty much the same as option #2

4-Holiday Inn Express-Dfw (817) 442-5919......309 W State Highway 114, Grapevine, TX 76051. Anything in Grapevine or Southlake is going to be great. So if you find one in one of those cities, I'd stay there in a heartbeat!



Those are just a few options of the thousands available. I don't know much about Ft Worth hotels, but could check them out for you if you need me to. Anything around DFW Ariport is going to be decent to very nice depending on your budget, and DFW Airport is about 15-20 minutes from the shop.

If you have any concerns or questions about a place you have in mind to stay, please don't hesitate to call me at 214-205-1287 and I'll do my best to either tell you what I know or drive by and check it out.

I posted a little info about the hotels, it's just above this post.

As far as tools, I'm sure we could use anything we can get our hands on. I only have about 5 DA's, 2 rotary's and 1 Flex. So anything you can bring would be a great help! I have literally tons of towels, just gotta make sure I do laundry right before the class......sounds like a good job for John

Thanks!
Nick

During the hands on demonstration will we be using are own car? I have never detailed a black car. Would love to test some of the new techniques I will learn on a black (or dark) car.

Nick,

Your agenda says:

"...
5:00pm - Work on your own car with help from Nick and Mike. "

Did you really mean:

12:30pm - 5:00pm - Work on your own car with help from Nick and Mike. ???
Is it over at 5, or go as long as it takes?

Yeah, sorry. After lunch until 5pm. I'm sure we'll stick around a bit later than that....might have a special little project to work on for those that want to stay
