I'm not sure... Scheck back down there and make sure you didn;t knock any wires or harnesses loose while you were doing the install....

How're things at the shop today? I got my custom ghosted vinyl 'customminishop.com' put on the Frackmobile this morning (front & back bumper). Looks good up-front, but I'm still trying to decide on the backside. I'll take some pictures & post later tonight for y'all to see. I don't know if any of you watched the show 'Sliders' on FOX a couple years ago, but it's done in that font.

Brad & Dr.Steve, you should have your vinyl guy available for custom font/color stickers for your customers. That'd be a great marketing tool & for those of us who're not going to put multi-colored stickers on their car, you have a new audience advertising for you. Plus, you'd be the only vendor ever to do this for clients. Just a thought.

Whatcha' got planned for your suspension setup? Go with the full range, ie. coilovers, etc.

Shop is quite without Brad's full volume voice on the phone. He's in LA today picking up M7 inventory. We'll have the anniversary STBs in stock tonight. I'm getting a lot of practice replacing interior door parts; I did a door lock assembly today to go with all the window motors and regulators. All these electronic power accessories have a finite lifespan which seems to be 80-100k miles or about four years. What are the multi-colored stickers you are talking about? We can get our vinyl guy to make just about anything.

Steve

Bring one of the new M7 braces to the meeting tonight so we can check it out. In regards to multi-colored stickers, some people put vendor stickers on the car & it ends up looking like a rainbow. I'm a monochromatic type of guy & have a theme I'm sticking to for my car. Different strokes for different folks.
My idea would be having 'customminishop.com' available in font sizes a-c & font choices of 'a-z' & vinyl color options so customers can select the type of sticker design which would best fit their car. Just an idea which helps with your marketing/advertising & allows people to individualize their cars even more.

If ya'll wouldn't mind helping us out in figuring out classes for the Dragon Mini Show it would be great. I know most of ya'll won't be there but we could use some help making sure we have this right.

See https://www.northamericanmotoring.co....php?t=118013\

Just a quick note to let you know that Robert has the shirts that were ordered. I left them with him at the Holloween party. Take care!

Good morning everyone. How did the meeting go Friday? Was there any talk on tuning? I know there was a few more people interested in it. Also, Brad or Steve, are you guy's going to the Halloween party? I won't be able to make it, but was hoping for somebody to pick up my shirt, let me know, thanks.

The party was Saturday. Robert has all the shirts. I showed up late from driving back from LA, and don't think tuning came up. Small crowd this time. Baseball and football games.

Hi Jim!
We were at the meeting on Friday & tuning didn't come up. For the most part, I think we can rely on NAM & CMS for spreading the word on our RMW project. Are you going to come to a meeting one of these months?
