There was a point when you could literally get an entire car built in the San Fernando Valley. With chassis guys like Fuller, Fjastad, Huszar, and Tuttle in the area, tin by Ewing, Hume (and some I'm likely forgetting), plus the likes of Pink and Zeuschel for power, Tony Nancy handling the upholstery, Cirello the mags, Carter the paint, and so on. Didn't have to go far from home.

It was entirely possible to put together a top quality 8-car field in T/F and F/C with "Valley Guys."

After going through several lists there were still some missing; Kelly Brown, Bob Pickett, Jim Adolph, Dennis Geisler, Larry Bowers, Tommy Larkin, and others I'll think of five minutes after I post this.
