that is what i based my decision on, thanks guys, im a little worried about the investment as money is tight for me just like everyone else Erv.

Good luck with your business Erv,based on what I know about you,honesty and hard working values are what it takes to make it,and you have 'em both.You'll do fine bro.---RED

Hey Good luck Erv. I hope the business does well. I'll drop in on you when I get a chance. we can bench race for a while.

PS hows the Bash looking for you?

Kerry

good luck to you!

Erv,
That is good news. I am sure you already have a base of loyal customers. If you continue to treat them fairly and honestly (like I am sure you do) the word will spread and you will be one busy guy.
Best of luck. Let me know if I can help with anything.
Keith

good luck with your adventure Erv! I have been out of work since mid Feb.

Good luck Erv, how close are you to Magazine, Ark.?

A guy I was in the Army with lives there(if he is still with us)His name is Hank Jenkins, I think he used to drive the school bus, if you know him, tell him I said Hi.

Hey Erv,Good luck brother. You will be ok i'm sure. You are a good guy w/good personality. Just don't let your good heart get in the way of charging the needed price,because people will take advantage of you. Good luck Brother

Good luck. I hope it works out well for you. People around here are trying to keep their stuff running as long as possible.

Good luck Erv

Give'em Hell Erv! Make it happen !

We live in a small town I have a couple of friends that each have their own shop.One works alone one has one other mechanic with him.Both shops stay full all the time,they talk like their is a good market because people are holding on to and repairing older vehicles. Good luk to you ! Ward

Harold, i dont know him live bout 46 miles from Magazine sorry.

Kerry , not sure yet, where there is a will there is a way:) im gonna do my best

Erv,
I talked to a racer this weekeknd that has a shop in a small town here in GA. He said that he was totally covered up and business was as good as ever. He said the key was to be fair and honest.
As I commented earlier....I bet you will be in good shape.
