Southpa · 09-18-2002, 11:19 PM

Way to go dude! Hell, you could get by just selling rocker panels for these trucks,

. I guess you thoroughly checked the demographics where you are?. Best way is to check the concentration of board members in your area. Who would be your closest competitior?

chevy garage · 09-18-2002, 11:38 PM

Good luck Tim. I'm about an hour away. There is no place to buy parts in Maryville or Knoxville. I'll get up there to see you when I get a chance.

Lots of luck Tim! I just put your phone numbers in my wallet. I'm in Knoxville, and still have a lot to do to finish my truck. You will definitely be hearing from me. I really like the idea of being able to buy locally, and from someone who obviously knows something about our trucks.

Billy Porter · 09-19-2002, 08:10 AM

Great................. I am sure this will florish in a short time into a full time venture............... It was nice meeting you and Josh in Charlotte. Since he has an interest in trucks he might be the staple that makes in work.....kids network more than we do.
Good luck, God bless
