nice..............

buggin in july, 2009. It is our local car club annual charity show, lots of work but well worth it , be that it is in our local area, and it is a decient sized event . The club is a group of vw enthusiast

who come from a wide range of back grounds and careers . Some might remember Just Jim or super beetle Jim . he did the promo vid for the shop. Well he , Dolph and Todd did this little ditty for local media

Nice work Guys

Panel time

Starting on rough metal work on Billbots splittie panel today,

hammer time on 45+ year old metal that some mother f*&ker

has already f ed up,

I swear I spend more time fixing old 'repairs'

Billy is a good dude, who builds an bitchen tranaxle

We are going to be retailing bilbot gear works very shortly

ALL QUIET ON THE MONDAY FRONT

Mondays around the shop are a quiet day, I like that......We are open to the gen public

Tue through Fri 7am to 6 pm. Sat and Mondays are an appt day only, by design. In one of

my earlier careers I worked at a mgf plant as an engineering tech , and some of the Dept.'s

that I worked with had 3 dif shift sch's 3 12 hr days or 4 10 hr days or 5 8hr days , I noticed that the production numbers for the 4 10s were better than the 3 12's and the 5 -8's. So when I started Airkooled Kustoms I kept that in mind. Hence the quiet mondays...

During the last gas price spike some other companies were looking at that option. I don't

what happened with that, but the staff here really liked it, and they like there 3 day weekends

Max is happy

so am I

Max's 79 VW T-4 is going home. what rolled in to the shop

and what she is now

boy what a journey

full build

here

doors open

The Ocomoney is a new set of rules that are not clear to anyone. In small biz it is hard to keep the doors open, but I am doing it as are a bunch of others. We went started survival mode back in Dec and haven't strayed from that yet. I have a bunch of TI planed as well as some capital investments that the shop desperately needs, but all of that is on hold. It drives me nuts. I have R&D for new products , building expansion , elec up grades, painting ect ect ect that I can't do, not sure if the revenue stream is going to be what I want it to be,(It never is), much less what it has to be. I am just grateful that we carry no debt. It does make it a little easier .
