New beginnings.

I did not start selling performance products until last year. Before then it was all for fun. (and it still is ) All of the parts that I was building and testing were being paid for by me. Some of the information was being shared freely with some well known vendors and with members of this very site. There have been several bumps in the road along the way. I have followed my heart and done what is right by others even at great cost to my-self and my family. Some have reached lofty goals and never looked back to ALL of the people who have helped them. Give thanks to the ones who deserve!! I work all day and come home and help my wife of 10 years with our children then go and work on a truck until 10 or 11 every night and also give my weekends to working on trucks. I could not even count how many times I have talked on my cell phone for hours with others to help them with a problem be it with a govenor spring install to helping another person build a twin turbo setup for his own truck. I always have and always will love the look on a persons face after making their first B.O.M.B. This is what I love to do.

I just wanted to thank some of the key people that helped me along the way.

My wife
J.P. @ Scheid Diesel
John P
Peter @ South Bend Clutch
Clyde Carter
Larry Shipley
Piers Harry
Bill Robbins
Ryan Deckard
Ed Yoder

I inted to open a shop here in my hometown. Please wish my family and my-self luck in the new venture. I hope to have your support.

I have definantly been one of the people you have helped out in the past. Although I think you know personally how much I appreciate all you have done for me and others, I would like to tell people publicly how much I appreciate all you have done for me. Not only are you a great diesel guru, you are a great friend, and above all a great person. Anyone that has done buisness with you or has had conversations on the phone with you know who you are. I wish you all the best of luck and I will always support you in whatever you do in the future.

Good luck in your new shop. Since I am not TOO far from you, maybe I can help pay some of your bills someday.

J.R. The good luck your shop will have won't have anything to do with coincidence. Doing the things you love will make you do them lovingly, and therefore you'll do them good.
Have fun doing it!

Good luck J.R. !

When you get set up, give me a holler and we will see about getting you set up here as a vendor so you can get the word out!

J.R.: Best of luck in your new venture! I just checked the mileage to your place: 495 miles from my place to Mooresville. When I get down that way, I'll be sure to stop in.
