Guess what? I am a business now
« on: June 03, 2009 - 02:27:15 PM »
 :bananasmi :wave:

I hobbled down to the court house and sales tax office and am now able to by and sell

Moparal Speed & Equipment   It will be a while for me to figure out things, but I made a GIANT first step towards being self employed.    I am really excited about this and hope to be able to start stocking things up and doing some sales while I am off on break from my regular job.  I am really hoping I can help out more with our international members and try to give as many special discounts as I can to assit all members here at CC.C

I am nervous about all this, but my wife is with me 100% and we look forward to being a family, reputable business and to start serving our area and long distance friends and customers with Speed parts leaning towards mostly Mopars.  But also there are many speed tracks in my area, so I will be stocking other model brands as far as gaskets, intakes, headers and such to be able to be competitive. I am the first speed shop in this area and hope to grow by my word and reputation. I will soon be posting some specials on the site in the propper area.

I wish I was closer.  We have a few good shops around here, but I bet Moparal Speed & Equipment will be legendary some day!!  If you ever have T-shirts or Hats made up, put me down for a couple.

Best Wishes as always!!

 :2thumbs:  Cool Alan,

Hey maybe I can get my things to upgrade my Darango from you and then install them myself or with your help.  Also we can talk more about this when I am home this weekend.  Might have to make my garage bigger than I thought.  I am glad that I am going to be close to where you are and may be able to help out some or something.  Going to be cool   :woohoo:

Hookie Smokes Bullwinkle!!!  :worshippy  That is the best news I have heard in quite some time!!!

That would be great for you not to be exposed to those work conditions and travel schedules anymore.

You have my best!
