  • How are your shops doing during this pandemic?
    im a 1 man band again and had enough work to keep me going for quite a while but the big projects are on hold as no one is risking traveling with a hot rod on a trailer . been doing alternate days by doing a day of proper work and another day of workshop maintenance , upgrades , painting , cleaning and all those jobs ive said i will get round to one day ...... when i get to a point of nothing i will just make headlining kits with stock fabric and templates i have to sell on ebay .....
