Changing Gears
« on: September 24, 2026, 08:07:23 PM »
My shop flooded last year quite badly and it was one hell of mess to clean up and deal with.  Homeowners ins of course would not help.   I am not sure if this is likely to happen again or not but I may potentially have to move - AGAIN.  I am not interested in moving this amount of iron again so I in the next few weeks I am going to be posting a bunch of stuff for sale, I just posted 10 428 blocks over in that section.  I am starting on forums because they seems to be the last place on earth that is not overrun with morons and idiots.  I will be listing all the 428 CJ/SCJ stuff next.

On that same note I am also beyond burnt out and pretty tired of dealing with the amount of people I have to in this parts sales world.  So I am unloading parts to get into a different income stream. Since the "covid" it seems like dealing with people is remarkably more difficult and I do not have the patience for it anymore.  I am trying to price things to move out pretty quickly.

All that being said if you know me, or don't yet and are looking for anything in particular - give me a ring.  I have not started to inventory the 427 stuff yet to see what is staying and what is leaving, but it is next after this push.

Sorry to hear that Ma Nature has thrown a wrench into the operation. Upon seeing the title of your post I hoped we were going to talk about an actual third member gear change🤪
Good luck with sales.
Wish you were closer to me.

Jack, I can empathize 100%, the one man band business can wear on you after a while.  Good luck on your next steps, I'll be watching your block posts...
