Hopefully fuel prices will drop some more so I can afford to come down and visit the new shop!
Best of luck!!

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto business
 

Congrats to two of the best people in this hobby! Rick & Annie are TRUE friends of mine and I am absolutely delighted that Rick is going to be able to live out a dream.

All the Best! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Hey Frankie, you coming to the Reunion?

"Doing what you love with who you love...the quintessential dream come true!!"

Ditto that!!

My only regret was that I didn't do it sooner.

Good luck to both of you!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto business
 

Congratulations to a true class act--I cannot think of anyone more informed or more passionate about LS6 Chevelles. Rick is also a genuine gentleman and a real "stand up" guy, who has more friends and people he's helped around the country than he likely realizes. He and Annie will fit in well among the other superstars in the restoration business who frequent this site. Congratulations to Rick and Annie on what I know will be a great decision and award-winning venture. Best of luck - not that you will need it!

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto business
 

Congrats to both of you!

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto busines
 

This is great news; Congrats Rick & Annie!

Rick, as you know, I couldn't do what I do without the help and support of my "better half", so it is neat to see the two of you jumping in with this together.

Quality and commitment, along with the knowledge and ability the two of you have will indeed insure a successful venture.

Besides...think of all the money you'll keep in your pocket with your gas savings when you bring the latest out to Chevy Vettefest!

If I can help in any way, don't hesitate to let me know.

Many, many thanks to all. Each of you and your well wishes mean SO very much to us! Special thanks to SS for the shout out, we truly appreciate your efforts and kind words of encouragement! Again, thank you one and all.

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto busines
 

You are back on line? I was going to sound out a carrier pigeon! You guys will have to get a more robust communications set up if Rick is going to flourish out there in BFE where you live, lady.

Congrats to both of you on your new endeavour(s). You've been sitting on your posterior for too long Hartweg!

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto busines
 

Best of luck to you Rick. Would welcome meeting you and talking Chevelles if you're ever in the Des Moines area.

Rick and Annie will have to make a side trip to AZ soon as well... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto busines
 

Already in the works but it will have to wait until 2009. I think next year there may be a few more trips ahead of us once we put all these changes behind us. We will have to get all the Arizona guys together for a big barbecue! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Dick, my daughter is going to college at Iowa State so you can count on it!

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto business
 

Best of Luck. I grew up about 45 minutes from there. Springfield is a good central location and property isnt priced bad.

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto busines
 

I'm holding you to that...We will have a blast!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto busines
 

I'm obviously late to this party...best of luck to the both of you...can't wait to see an LS6 powered broom!...

Yeah great.............just what she needs... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Well it is official. I put the house on the market last week with an estimated 6-9 month turnaround and it sold to the very first couple that walked through. Now I am in a panic as I was not totally ready. Thank goodness for Ann on the other end taking care of arranging the shop.

I sent anyone in my address book my new address but if there is anyone who has my Lakeville address and wants the new one, please shoot me a note and I will forward it to you.

Thanks for all the kind words and well wishes. It has been a long hard road and one that will be well worth it.

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto busines
 

Congrats on the quick sale of your house https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif . Ain't that the way it always works out?! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto busines
 

Hey Rick, you obviously didn't price your house high enough...HA!

Re: "SS427" relocating/expanding his resto busines
 

Rick...get 'er done! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

That is what I would have thought but the market here is TERRIBLE!!! Sales are down 10% and prices are down 8% over last year. There were 61 homes in my neighborhood that were priced within $50k and the ones that were slightly higher then mine were much nicer. I met the buyers tonight and according to the Mrs, she said she was immediately sold when she walked in and saw that it was a 100% turn key home needing nothing. The realtor told me the same thing before it sold but still did not think it would sell that fast. It took the buyers 2 years to sell their original home so I guess I was very lucky. Just glad it is almost over and I can move forward. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

This was a topic congratulating someone for expanding their business but for some reason a couple people decided to try to make it ugly without providing any real knowledge or facts to back up their claims. Please take it somewhere else if you just come to crash parties.
