I'm GOING TO DO IT FINALLY!!!
Well I decided to finally do it. My passion for anything custom with wheels has drove me to pursue my dream. I am starting my own business. YAHOOO. I hope to be up and running by June 1st. I will be dealing in aftermarket accessories. I am not attempting to jump on the band wagon, or steal business from other board members who have already established themselves, like WES, GMC Paul, ect. I will be selling the hardcore customizing parts, like BAGS, TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS, FLIP KITS, AIR BAG BRACKETS, SHACKLES, PHANTOM GRILLS, ect. anyway, you get the point. I am so excited to get this goin. I want to give a more customer friendly way of buying custom parts. I will attempt to answer all questions and help as much as possible, and will stand by my product with confidence, because it will be the same stuff I use and test fit on my own truck. My site will be www.phatcustoms.com come check us out. When it is all set up I will have a page strictly for 67-72 parts. Sorry such a long post, I'm just so amped about this I kinda ramble on. Thanks Casey

Congrats and good luck. Are you going to be only on line, or are you going to have a paper catalog also? I don't know how much advertising is, but some of the mags have add space and for the longest time, that was the only place I found my catalogs in.
Again...good luck. ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350.

Need to pick up the one ton Longhorn with a PONTIAC 350/350soon. Thanks every one!  Check out The Longhorn Webite.

In my humble opinion...the most powerful marketing tool you can have for those not on the net is the vehicle you are driving...do all the shows and prominently display your info in the window or on the side...in other words...FINISH THE RIDE! Best of luck...board discounts for air bags???

The more custom parts for our trucks, the better. May I suggest that a good product to carry would be 67-72 bedrail caps. I think a bunch of us would love to have them, because I believe no one makes them.
