New Job, New Business- NEW Look for the RPU!!!

Good luck on the new venture Jim. I'll talk to you at the GNRS (that way I can write off the trip )

Later,

Dennis

 

Won't you clash with the SoCal Speedshop that's already there ??? or am I missing something ???

Good luck with you venture.

Steve.

 

So Cal, is half way across the state it seems.. his store will be for those tha live on the West Side or hotrod tourist that dont want to drive a few hrs to the original

 

Congratulations Jim. A So-Cal shop in Hermosa Beach? Does life get any better?

I know who I'll be buying my So-Cal ch***is from now.

JH

 

Great Jim..best wishes. Will stop by at the GNRS

 

put "SoCal Speedshop and Salad Supply" on your doors

 

It would only be the "Kermit Mobile" if the new scallop was a darker shade of green like Kermit's dark green neck scallop.

I like the new paint because its not the usual.

Congratulations on the new shop! Its good to see good people moving up in the world. Now that you are part of the So-Cal family, is Pete going to make you paint the truck white with a red scallop like the other So-Cal cars? I hope not.

 

Thats awesome Jim!! Congrats man!!

 

Like I said before, CONGRATS on the new adventure. I wish you only the best.

I do have a question though, I thought that RPU belonged to a guy on the east coast and you ***embled it for him. At least thats what I thought I remember reading here on the HAMB. Did you end up buying it from him?? Or is he a business partner now? Or maybe I'm getting two projects mixed up........

 

Man, you pay attention to the details! Yes, I did build this truck for my friend Pete and he is my partner in the new business. Since the beginning it has been "our" car and now it's part of "our" business. Thanks Jim

 

Jim you wont belive this but it is true I swear..I woke up last night after reading this post after a night mare it was your r/pu painted like it is with little curly q's like on the starbucks coffee cups i woke up screaming

 

You are psychic- they were my main compe***ion for my store location- luckilly the property owner is an old time hot rodder and liked my business plan better. I believe you!

 

hey jim...
what property you moving into on PCH?
trying to think what's available right now....
the old slot car place around 8th on the east side? (vasken's?)

 

If you carry dvd's, you're gonna need my product... www.disc-restorer.com

 

Nice Work Jim!

so when is the grand opening party going to be?

 

It will be well known once I have a date- lots of car parking at the spot I'm working on securing. Thanks Jim

 

I think you meant to say "****hole stickers", didn't you?

 

Congrats Jim -- you've earned it!


Mike Self -- that guy from all those truck mags. haha

 

Very cool, I'm up in N. Redondo. I'm down there all the time. I need a new place to haunt. My welcome is wearing thin at the Tender Box.

 

Hey I like it!

See you Thursday at the GNRS!

 

Sorry man I can't ******** you...

Is yours part the green part or the orange part?

Good luck in your new venture.

 

Which part is uglier- that's mine!!!

Guess they all can't be black primer with red wheels- I already did that 20 years ago when it "cutting edge".

 

All I can say is Congrats!!!!!

 

There ya go, nuttin' like being you own boss (you are gonna be your own boss right?)

Let me know if you'd be interesed in a few granite peices on a commission basis or somthing... I'd be thrilled to have some on the coast, might be the next big thing. (Yeah, right)

Grats again Jim.
Greg

 

Congrats!

Beside my "Peas and Carrots" truck I will have a long list of HAMBer products and some new T-shirts made just for this event to announce the new business.

Here's the design, limited quan***y so let me know if I should hold one for you. Basis is an original 1956 illustration with a few changes for my use. $20each for all sizes including a few 3XLs for my large brothers. Thanks Jim

Since a couple people have already asked- you can pay-pal me at aust66ebaystuff@cs.com if you want me to send you one. Just make it $22 for a shirt (no extra postage for additionals) and include your size in the pay-pal info and I'll get one sent to you. Thanks Jim

 

One XL will do. Love the nose job

Dennis

 

Jim, I didn't include my size in the paypal deal but I did tell you a 2XL in the PM. Hope that's suficient. If you were to send me anything smaller it would cut off the circulation to my little brain and I need all of it functioning to deal with my "mentor"and his pal, I'm sure you understand.

Frank

 

Congrat's Jim and good luck on your business adventure!
I can't wait to visit your new Socal shop while i'm down in LA sometime.
let us know about the grand opening when it's near?
best wishes and thanks again for all your help,
