Sounds good bro...

 

jdickerson...you are invited too!

Its people like you that restore my faith in humanity!

 

This is true Matt.....maybe i can get some girls from the college to throw some hoo-ha's in his face to repay him!

 

How far away from Charlotte NC is Pulaski? I might be able to talk the wife into letting me get a set of wheels done or something. It suxs being cash strapped, I've been there before myself. J75, The pictures of your work are impressive, I would hate for this community to lose a good resource. I'm down for drinks if I ever get up your guys way. I've been lurking here for a few months and there seems to be an abundance of knowledgeable/helpful people. I have learned alot about my 4runner from this forum and just wanted to do my part to help out.

 

Jdickerson

YT is a great place to learn about your toyota!

From charlotte to pulaski, its about 2.5 hours if i recall correctly.

 

Hang in there if you can. I know it's hard but you can make it with everyones help. I'll PM you later.

 

143.3 miles from my Microsoft Streets and Trips. It said a little over 2 hour trip to my front door.

J....I have a set of ford emblems for this guy to do at the shop that everytime I coat them I have a bad outgassing under the powder coat after bake...I have blasted 1 letter 3 times to get it right. Going to go down tonight to try and get them done right....might take me til 3am but I need to get them out right or I will buy him new ones and do them. Its how much pride I take in my work....whether it be small or big. I did a coil spring last night that was absolutely flawless. So if you were to come up then they would leave out of here done right...

Yotatech has cleaned up alot of people out of here that were giving false info or tips so they keep a close eye on people here to make sure all questions are answered knowledgably. (If thats a word) Now I gotta go transfer those funds over to the bank but at least I know I still have something to eat tomorrow! Thanks again man...

 

I am SO sorry to hear about your situation.

Jermey powdercoated my battery box for FREE and shipped it to me for FREE.
His work is top notch and his business practices and ethics are truly rare these days

I too know what it is like to have a family to support and you MUST do whatever it takes.

However, if you can make rent, do you think you can keep the business and keep it going??

 

I have also passed out your business cards to a few people that appreciate quality
If/ when my LC wheels sell I WILL BE SENDING my contribution. You didn't ask, but I feel that I MUST. Don't say no.....

when is rent due?

 

Thanks Eric...you know a guys ego always says NO...but I'll keep my mouth shut this time. You know...if those LC wheels were powder coated then they would sell quicker...hint hint...hey Matt...road trip! haha
I would come down to visit you guys but I gotta CV that sounds like its ready to explode...Cootees heard it at its early stages....and this knocking noise with leaky valve pans is permitting me from any long trips.

I got the 5 day notice last Thursday...been at the shop getting little stuff done like coil springs and brackets...but that was small cash to get by. I appreciate the compliments. I have gotten one guy for business off those cards...and I have done went through 500 of them so far!

As for the family...they are moving to Florida so its a pretty sad week for me...but I'm doing what I can to survive and make sure these kids are taken care of before they go. Whether it mean me go homeless or empty stomach....your love for the kids is never ending! Hope your little one is doing good...

 

thanks...my son is doing GREAT.
I am bumping this...

Guys if you needed anyhting powdercoated, NOW is the time.

Jeremy is a stand up dude and he needs our help.

 

Thanks Eric...I'm a sitting duck at the moment man. Goint thru alot of crap lately but i'm keeping on!

 

when powder coating can you leave an area bare metal, for example the lip of a wheel or something

 

Yes...hi temp tape man...and i can also polish the bare metal too if needed

 

send what you have. his prices can't be beat, even with shipping (DHL is your friend) and karma will repay you

 

do you also do sandblasting or beadblasting??

 

wow, i wasnt aware that there was such thing as high temp paint. you seem like a great guy, im trying to find something to send you, even if it doesnt need it. have you ever considered trying to build a larger oven that would fit bike frames/bumpers/sliders? you would probably get a TON of business from that. but then again thats spending money thats not there soo...good luck you will pull through this

 

He did get his blast cabinet in last week. So he can sandblast stuff now.

 

all my powders cure at around 400*. I have hi temp tape, plugs...all the racking accessories for different small parts. yeh a larger oven means more money...i've been searching for the great deal on an oven!

 

Yes sir it is...just sitting there now. full of sand!
