When I started 914Network about 25 years ago I sold a fair amount of parts, and then the internet took off and I pretty much got out of the parts business. When I sold my main business almost 6 years ago I had to close 914Network due to the structure of my S corp and subsequently re-opened as "Iron Hill Restorations"

Now I do repair and restoration work, as well as my specialty items: 914 Umbrella cover and 914-6 engine conversion harnesses. There's some encroachment in some of that regard, but competition is good for everyone, and my track record on those products has been problem free.

My biggest challenge is, and has always been getting good help in my exceptionally rural location.
