      All things covid!

      I know I haven't been posting on my own stuff for months....lets detail.. as the title says "all things covid" I started my shop as a side biz, helping, racing, testing, building, and it has grown into a full time biz!!! WHAT..yes last year in 2020 I jumped in full cannonball, and the online store grew!! and I did some work out of my home Garage... awesome right ... well it is growing faster then I could have imagined!! in the middle of 2020 I rented a 5000 square foot building, in town (till I save enough to build my own)

      yep a real deal shop, two lifts, a showroom, and a prep and paint area.... my buddy Jon Linstrom (former owner of Best of Show Coachworks in California) is in the show a couple days a week..... I really thought I would just move my projects in and work on my own stuff till the brick and mortar grew over the next year or so.... I was WRONG!! i had to move all my stuff out by the end of the month!




      Why?




      Because It filled up with customer cars from all around the country!!!! I could not have been more surprised and grateful,, HOLY ****!! cars from Arizona!! Chicago! Kentucky!, New York city!

      Good for you! Congrats! This is energizing me to go the same route. Been in auto repair forever, got a cool auto/tech job now, but not my passion. I'm betting you wish you would have done it sooner?

      yes and no... I was so lucky to work for Bret at ridetech, Ken at Showtime motorsports, I traveled all over the US for those few years and worked with great vendors, made a TON of friends, and all that put me in a great spot to do what I'm doing... I do wish I would have done all of it years ago when I was younger.....

      do it man, getting what you want is scary, start it as a side hustle

      Congratulations on your new life LOL! Very few people get to work at their passion in life and it looks like you made the jump. Here's hoping your enthusiasm continues to grow... as well as your business. Nice to see a vendor who is so involved. Best of luck Rod.
