As some of you know we are a small shop here in North Ga.
I love to build cars always have.
The economy is taking it tole on most everyone.
I have decided to take this back to were i was at seven years ago.
This is going to be a full time hobby. I WILL STILL BE BUILDING CARS. I have about 13 project cars of my own that i will be building to sale, 2-69 camaro's 2-2nd gen 72 an 73 camaro's ect. As complete rust free shell's or as complete painted shells.
I just won't have any employees. I will be keeping my web site, only it will be more of a look at what we are doing in stead of advertisement for Road Killer Kustoms.
I Want to make this fun again an hopefully get to spend time with my friends that choose me to do there metal, body an paint work. We will be doing kustom suspension builds an installs as well.
We will also be doing the Peach State Muscle car event with Jeff Tate https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=100 Again this year.
I want to Thank every one for 5 great years an hope to have many more.
Thanks

David,
I'll never forget when we met for the first time at RTTH 2, while we were working the starting line at the autocross from hell. It was then that I found out how you started your buisness and I'm glad you will still be doing what you love. Cheers to less stress and hopefully more fun, family and friend time.
Your friend,
Matt

David,
Sorry to hear things are coming to this but I am glad you plan to still keep at full time. I hope your employee's land on their feet and things turn around soon for everyone.

I am looking at this in a positive way, Less stress, less overhead
Ga. has been hit hard with Banks closing, from all the foreclosures of house's an business going under. The unemployment is really crazy here as well. well over 10%
My employees are all doing OK they were hard worker an go getter so they are working in shops already.
Thanks

I feel ya bro, after 10 years and a brand new building 6 years ago I've had enough also, I used to make good money in the collision end of my shop but do to rotton insurance companies and no more deer hitting cars up here were slow as hell, we would do a resto or complete paints on stuff when we were slow and most of that work seemed like we were working for free, so my buildings for sale and I'm headed to Florida!!! I'll do the same as you go get a job and dabble in this on the side. Good luck Telly

I cant thank Yall enough. its good to know that people an friends will be there for you when this kind of stuff happens. Running a business is a lot more than most people even have a clue.
I made it for 5 years an now i am ready to shut it down go back to just me building cars with my friends an family.
I am really happy in the direction that iam going in now,
As much as i love to build cars an the friends made in the process i am a happy man.
I will still get to do that. I will build 2 -3 a year hopefully work 4 days a week an work on my cars the other 2 days. God willing!
So lets start getting ready for the Peach State Challenge.
Thanks
