Bob's latest bulk e-mail sent out this morning:
This is to let everyone know that I will be hard at it for the rest of today and through the weekend painting and doing prep work to keep the cars a coming. So emails and return calls will be slow for the next several days. Have to work to produce, not just my guys, myself as well. We were able to move mountains with the first 125k I borrowed and are expecting our other loans in less than 1 1/2 to 2 weeks and we should be able to work out the rest. I’m doing everything earthly possible to address all situations. No build, no cash flow for months has slowed my plans some, but my efforts to have some help me help themselves just went through one ear and out the other. The ones that helped are getting my all and so are the ones that didn’t to the degree I can. Our new magazine promotional and other advertising we’ve never used before are starting to work. So hang in there the mountain climber is chipping away at each obligation as fast as it is possible to be done. As for calls it’s easiest to reach me from 4 am to 7 am, off from 7 am to 8 am to get Livi on the bus, and then from 8 am to 10 am after that everything goes to voicemail and I deal with it at 3 am when I get up every morning. After that I’m hard at it controlling every single thing that happens with these builds. I am personally involved in every aspect from the motor builds to the body bushings. I’m checking everything several times a day. These are definitely twice the cars anyone is expecting for the money. Unless you paid 25k or more, you’ve done extremely well for what we are producing. Yes, I wasn’t happy with a lot of quality and wasted money, and man power, but I am preventing the wool to be pulled over my eyes right now as much as humanly possible that I’m so involved. And remember even agreements that weren’t signed or received from me personally I’m still trying to solve those situations for people as soon as possible. but unless I win the lottery tomorrow, I don’t have a half a million dollar swing in me overnight. So be patient. I think the proof is in the pudding, all the customers that have had great progression in their builds, received cars and received monies. Hopefully this will convince those that are not working with me to see the light. Those I asked to assist on removing the bad on the internet and the negatives on eBay, and did, have been addressed first. Those that tried to make the internet useless to me, which I don’t need anymore, will be helped, but at a slower pace. Everyone had the same opportunity. You cut your nose off to spite your face. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. If I’d been able to take on builds at a third of the normal pace, plus the money I borrowed over the last 8 – 10 weeks, things would have been resolved with an issue with money. I’ve been left liquidating my personal assets and money I could borrow by signing my name, these things don’t come easy. I’m still bending over backwards for those folks. Everyone have a great weekend.
Thanks
Bob
