Thank you Options

[scotty b]

I'm not naming names, but I just wanted to openly thank the people here who have entrusted me with their cars.


3 months ago I was up against an ugly, unstable wall. I watched 5 shops in my area shut down, one of the 2 shops I was doing work for slowed to the point I had no reason to continue going there, and he is now down to only himself ( from 3 ). The other shop, the italian cars, I went back with as my only work. He eventually slowed to the point he couldn't pay me, and still owes me quite a bit of money. I was at a point of no-return and felt my only option was to open my own shop, in what is being called the worst economy in 20+ years. I had ONE car, Mike's, and a couple of local quick jobs ( suspension pans and a quick, cheap paint job) to start out with. I put my ass on the line big time, borrowed a fair sum on a credit card since no bank would give me a loan, spent the first month moving, building an office and a bathroom, and trying to scratch up some money to stay afloat. 2 months later I actually have 4 jobs to count on, and a couple others in the wait. I know there is a still a long way to go before I will feel totally confident that this was the right move, but were it not for those of you who stepped up so far, I would not have made it this far.

So anyway,

thank you to the ones I have now

thank you to the next few

and thank you to any in the future (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

As for my shop info, I have a guy that started working on a website last night so when that is done I will talk to Andy about getting a banner here. Until then, if you want to contact me feel free to send me a pm or e-mail and I will give you my number. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Jim I would loveto do your buddies Wildcat. I have a weakness for Buicks, especially ones with nailheads in them. I have a 401 from a wildcat for my 53 Chevy pickup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
