Well he's no fossil! My father Roger Jetter, as you may know, tells a good story. Does awesome automotive T-shirt designs. He can also draw a straight line, or a perfect circle, with one hand tied behind his back and one eye closed; in the palm of that hand that is behind his back! LOL, he has a gl*** eye, bet you didn't know that! Since day one I was always in a hot rod. Stories circulate at family dinner tables how I was nearly born in the back seat of a 57 Chevy. By age five I could shift a 4 speed and before I was legal I was cruising a 40 Studebaker across the Nevada desert heading to god knows what run in California, Washington, Nevada; More likely, all three. I remember tearing bondo and old lead filler off the Hint of Mint in near freezing weather on any given sunday using a hair dryer and a hand held propane torch before I ever thought about dating a girl. For me car magazines were always littered the kitchen table and were stacked in the john, and the latest issues or some tech article were always within a quick find for my dad. As I got older and into High School my interests strayed to girls, late nights hanging with friends, and pot. Never was much of a drinker, can't hold a lot of alcohol to this day. At age 19 I started manufacturing waterpipes, bongs. Started distributing them and within several years I was selling thousands of them every year. In 99 I had a incident with the local authorities which ultimately led to the demise of the company. Using what resources I had left, in 2000, I started a website dedicated to Everything 420! ChronicShops.com. We had over 2000 headshops listed and over 800 wholesalers. We did articles on gl*** blowers, festivals, headshops, and rock bands, making all of our revenue from advertising dollars. After John Ashcroft and the Republicans handed out 51 Indictments in 2002 to the leading paraphernalia manufacturers across the country including Tommy Chongs. I decided it was time for a change. Fortunately I had moved to Oregon and spent a year learning the trade of gl*** blowing. After the bust I decided I had enough of the paraphernalia business and looking at my 59 one day I knew exactly what my new mission was. Bring hand blown gl*** to hot rods! Dichrome was born! I have now spent a little over 2 years in developing and marketing of Dichrome Automotive Gl*** Accessories. It proves to me that patience and support a**** parents is the key to success. My dad is what you might call a straight edge. He doesn't smoke, drink, do any kind of drugs etc... his only vice is cars. Yet through all that he has always been supportive, there for me when I needed him, and has always helped me wether it was something he believed in or participated in. Not many parents that would do that. And because of that I am able to bring to HAMBER's and all car enthusiasts the most revolutionary trend to hit hot roding in some time. Thanks dad! With that, I am happy to be here, excited about the future and ready to twist up some awesome gl*** for some awesome rides! Any ideas, styles, thoughts, trends, etc you want to throw at me, I want to hear. I am ready and willing to entertain any opportunity regarding development, marketing or general coolness. Drop me a line, I'm ready to work! Oh... check out the site at Dichrome.com...sweeeet!
