Opinions??

Just wondering what you all thought about this. Cool or goofy? Since the weather is pretty much perfect right now, we'll probably take it out on a few calls actually. So, whatcha think?

Chris

Re: Opinions??

I think it would be a fantastic conversation starter and would probably drum up a lot of business. Beautiful truck by the way!

Re: Opinions??

I love it! I've been wondering how to use my rig to promote my photography. Someday I'll post some pics. I've got some work to do before I get there.
Thanks!

Re: Opinions??

Thanks guys. Yea, that's kind of what we were thinking. Make people talk about it and us, and might bring a couple new customers our way. Not to mention I get to drive it more! Lol.

Hey Chris, nice truck! Good idea for ads plus writeoff as business expense--just be sure you DO have working AC on that pretty ride!!!

Re: Opinions??

The pricing is right out of the 60's, just like the truck. Looks great.

Re: Opinions??

Wow, was just hoping to get more positive than negative. Glad you guys like it. So far it seems to really be drawing attention. As far as the pricing, that's new for this year. It's usually $60 + 30 labor, but with noone having money, I decided to drop it way down and go flat rate. So far seems to be helping a bunch. Were moving to two neighboring bigger cities this fall and can't wait to take the old truck. Still need to get a really good pic of it for the website.
