      !!!!help save the autohobby shops!!!!

      I am currently building my project at an Navy MWR (morale Welfare Recreation) auto hobby shop in San Diego. There are hobby shops on most military installations. I was told today that there is a very good chance that the Coronado hobby shop will be closed soon and that the one I am doing the work at will be changing its "BUSINESS MODEL". Long term stalls like mine are no longer in consideration. The day stalls are the primary customer now, so if you want to use the hobby shop for a tire change,oil change,brakes, etc you are good. If you are actually involved in a project that requires a great deal of work you are written off. This is not acceptable! This needs to be stopped! I am three thousand miles from my garage, family, tools, and equipment and now the one organization that is supposed to support me is trying to take one of the only liberties I have here away from me. There are at least a dozen projects going on here that the owners are in the same situation. The small machine shop we had here at the shop is being shut down and the machines removed. Who knows what is next. I am including a link to the car I am building to raise awareness for the hobby shops. Please check it out and give me some input. The more people that follow and give their opinion the better chance there will be to save the shop. I am going to take this as high as I need, so those of us that decided to leave our own garages can still enjoy one of the best hobbies to take part in. Any support you can give is greatly appreciated!!
