I'm still alive!!
« on: July 13, 2015 - 06:03:13 PM »
Just wanted to throw a quick post out there that I'm still around. I haven't been on the board much at all over the last few years. Between having twins back in 2010 and a business that went on the brink of closing the Cuda got pushed on the back burner. Fast forward 5 years and my business has turn around and my kids don't require 24/7 attention so I'm digging the Cuda out of the corner of my shop and proceeding with a full restoration that was planned for several years ago. Looking forward to reuniting with members of the past and meeting some new faces. Cheers!! :cheers:

one of my favorite words of wisdom is( that what does not defeat me only makes me stronger )  glad your business turned around and family is doing fine.   running a small business actually runs you.
