New buildng progress, after a year

[Joey Kaylor]

Some of ya know, some of ya dont. We have been building a new facility about a mile from the old one, mainly due to not enough space for expansion.

 

Its been a hell of an uphill battle, and this clusterfuck of a "financial crisis" sure as fuck didnt help anything with our bank, but we should be in an operational at the first of the year, one year behind schedule.

 

Nothing too special, 7200 sq ft shop, six auto bays and 2 truck/equipment bays. a Flush mount alignment rack (1" of ground clearance is all that is needed with it). all above ground lifts are inground units, with no posts above ground to hit

There is a spray/blast booth going in the back for the resto side of things next year, and I gotta cut my expensive slab of concrete for the dyno next weekend. I got an eddy current unit that is specifically tailored to driveability tuning and heavy loading, but we will be doing speedo calibration after the certifications are done through the state.

 

we started last august, getting 12000 yards of fill done and grading taken care of:

 

 

As of yesterday:

I thought you had a unique relationship with the bank?

Very nice Joey, I thought that was a picture after Bruce flunked you out of one of his classes. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

nah, it was kinda funny. we were in KC for VISION, and he was riding with us to go to an overpriced shitty barbecue joint down the road. It was kind of a semi-unorganized meeting, but there were several dudes there that we wanted to hang with, so we all went.

 

Basically a meeting of iATNers with some alcohol. Needless to say...by the end of the night there were a few fights about to break out LOL.

 

This year will be better, cause from what I have gathered we aint gonna go to that chain again /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/puke.gif

 

and....i'm gonna bring a half gallon of bootleg to get everyone going BEFORE we go to a $6/beer bar. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
