      finally opening up my new shop

      After numerous delays I'm finally prepared to open for business. I've got a few more things to move in and get set up but I'll be ready for work next weekend. I'm only open in the evenings and weekends since I still have a day job doing collision work till things get going.

      some day it'll be done

      It's always something, I've been doing this about 15 years now and there is always something going on that you have to deal with that makes no sense..

      It's been pretty slow going I've got one project (64 c10 ) going on right now but I'm not allowed to post pics of it per the owner's request. I've got a 64 elcamino 68 mustang fb 69 mach 1 68 shelby clone 69 cougar 428 clone in the works. They're all committed to me doing the work just need to get them to open up the checkbook... in the meantime I'm also working on my camaro since it's basically a r&d car for my fiberglass and carbon fiber parts. You can find my web page on Facebook search Mike's hot rod shop independence mo.
      some day it'll be done

      Mike, now that you are open, and very close by, I'll have to come over and check out your shop if that'd be alright with you.

      Congratulations! Opening a new shop is nothing short of a miracle in California. It might be the same in Missouri.

      Good luck!

      That's fine with me just call first as this is still a part time deal evenings and weekends. I do all of my parts chasing ect on as needed basis. So I'm not always there The restomod store( formerly mo bitchen) is doing my paint work. They painted this one for us. They own the antifreeze green mustang that's at buffalo wild wings cruise night. Here's a pic of one I did at my day job. I tried to hot rod it......
