Default A HUGE Thank you to Lateral-G, all its members, and supporting vendors!

THANK YOU!

Over the last 2 years, I have been fortunate enough to open my own shop, grow our business, hire 3 extremely talented individuals, make 5000 square feet WAY too small, get married, and get a baby on the way. Obviously my wife and I as well as my employees have had to do some good old fashioned hard work to get here, but our hats are off to this forum and ALL of its members.

You have all complimented us, given us a huge pat on the back, and most importantly inspired us. We can only push ourselves so far, and only know so much (very little in the grand scheme of things!), after which we look to everyone else for a push; ideas, inspiration, knowledge, or kind words! I am amazed at how friendly both individuals and other businesses have been, and hope that we can continue the favour and give back something!

To top it all off, interest from Lateral-G members has almost FORCED us to go into some parts production. We can't wait to explore these possibilities as we gear up for it. I can't help but feel as if we have somehow been taking advantage of the forum as our business grows, and hopefully this is not so! (We are becoming a supporting vendor, seriously!!!)

So thank you is in order.

To Lateral-G, Thank you for being such a great resource and allowing this to be a place for enthusiasts and vendors to come together for the betterment of our hobby and unique niche market, as well as the support you have for all of us small guys.

To the members. Thank you for ALL the kind words, advice, enthusiasm, and interest in what we do up here in winterland! Also, thank you for your patience as we grow as a business, for anyone who has been kind enough to contact us!

And to the vendors. Thank you for lending a hand to a dealer of your products, all the users of your products, or even a competing business.

From myself (Tyler), my wife Dawn, Merv, Brandon, and Darcy, as well as Jeff (our talented machininst who is not in pictures as he is on a cruise ) Thanks!!!!!!!

WOW! All that on your plate and you can still find time to machine a custom gauge bezel for my 1967 Chevelle Police Tribute Car. You are truly a class act and I will be honored to have your custom part as the center piece of my dash. Thank you for your kindness.
