Very nice, you must be really excited to have the space. Looks fantastic.
I was going to call you to check in out of habit today :-)

Fran,
Looks like a couple of CNCs Are you doing your machining right in house now??
The shop looks nice. Quite a bit bigger than the the other shop. That's gotta be nice having the extra space. Congrates and keep up the great work.
Take care,

Jim,
one four axis, one three axis and one two axis NC (Z is manual)...in house....
One of the reasons for the move was to amalgamate my multiple shops and have it all under one roof.....we have full fab capability in under one roof now...megaworker/plasma/power hammers etc etc etc

Hi Fran -
Wow - what a great new shop! Good things come to those who work hard and satisfy their customers. The Superlite Coupe is at the top of my list - all I need to do is sell the Esprit ( 1977, LOTUS, ESPRIT ) which I hate to do after all of the time, sweat, money, energy and effort I've put into the restoration. However, I need the room and the SLC will fill the space nicely! The work that you and your crew do is amazing.
Enjoy your vacation!

what a change! out of that little cubby hole you were in - although a "cute" cubby hole. you'll need a map to get to the rear of this building! any closer to that fabulous BBQ restaurant down the street? i guess i'll have to come up there; i think my car is lost somewhere in your shop.
congrats. the build up has been slow but consistent...excellent business plan, all the benefit of quality products.

Fran...
Absolutely SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God man, you have been busy! I know it's ball freezing cold up there, but do you need a salesman? Haha Is there a dental school nearby for my fiance to continue her quest to become my sugar mama, uh, I mean Dentist? Absolutely beautiful, I have to get up there for a visit.
Laters,
