    Well, after 5 years of working, dreaming, ploting and all that ****, Rocket Automotive is closing. It is that time. Time to make a paycheck. Time to make a life outside of this pit. I appreciate all that came in, got their car repaired. I apoligize to those that i have pissed off. I have a new job already. Making really nice money doing basically the same thing...without the headaches. I will have the shop till the end of next month and am working to get everyones car done that i promised. Some a long time ago, but due to some situations beyond my control (some not) I am still trying ot get done. Means lots of long nights and weekends, but soon, I will be a normal person again!
    For you business owners, you know what its like. Well, I started with 800.00 dollars to my name, and rather ****py credit...5 ears was a hella stint.

    Also mean that once I sell the 68 Fury III and the 55 Olds and the Triump Chopper frame, i'll be looking for a new project...CAUSE I"LL HAVE A PAYCHECK!!

    Its been real, its been fun, and honestly, its been real fun.

    Going ot work at a friends shop, run his shop area. OMEGA Tires: 336-723-4004

    PS, this in no way hurts HRW. In fact, it allows me A LOT more time to devote TO HRW! So....Rock and Roll kids, its all good!

    mike,
    sad to hear your closing up, but glad to har it's for the better on your side. being the person who runs a business is hard enough being the owner is even worse. at least you've had a pretty good run with it. and if it give you more free time then even better. sometimes you just gotta say **** it all and do whats best for yourself and those around you. good luck with the new job i hope it works out great for you. oh and i thaught you sold the olds once already? ...ken....

    Hey Ken, thanks man. And yeah, its time to throw it in. I did sell the Olds...LONG story. Now im dating the girl I sold it to, and she wants to sell it (new car), so its up....again.

    Anyways, im ready to be "normal" again, and devote a lot more time to the HEavy Rebel Weekender...5th year,,,still growing!
