Yes, I recieved an offer from another company almost two weeks ago, for almost double (85%) what I was making previously, and only having to manage one job and not four.
They have also given me the opportunity of a retirement program, which I despirately needed.
What does this mean for www.specialvehicleoperations.com ?
Although this will put things in a 2 month so-to-speak sleep mode for new projects, the ones that are here will still be on the forefront of thier repairs,custom work, and modifications.
This will also make it possible for me not only to buy new/used fabrication equipment, but also to allow me to get another/better garage cam and be able to realistically look at getting a building in 2007, that will allow for more dedicated work for everyone.
Yes I did have to move 85% of my tools to the new job, this doesn't mean I don't have tools here at my personal shop, since I will be doing general automotive work, at work, the specialty tools stay here, and what I decide I still don't need I will bring back, I do however almost have a complete set of hand tools and some air tools that will be here, a couple of new boxes for storage will of course be needed, so Craig's List here I come, when applicable.
This also means other than a few customers that I have taken under my wing for general service, I will not be preforming this service for newer customers, I will strictly be doing custom mods, restoation and fabrication, what I really wanted to do in the first place.
Another bouns factor for everyone is that the new shop I work for has equipment for doing custom exhaust, tire mounting, balancing, and a brand new alinement rack.
Of course I can't give discounts on thier service's, but this does make it more convienet for me to be able to offer you these services through them, which allows you to feel good about getting these things done, and done right.
The new job is in south Austin, called Pitstop Auto Repair:

Please don't let this deter you from letting me do your projects as I still welcome them by all means, this just means a break in work for 2 months while I get my groove on and get my finances back on track, to be able to offer even better work for you all in the up and coming years.
This only helps set the right foundation for Special Vehicle Operations.com to become what it really has long been drempt it should be.
This will also be a fantastic time for EEE and I to really be able to put together a kickass web page and be able to come out looking really professional, not like the theme hasn't already.
Again thanx to all of you and your gracious support for everything, and I look forward to being able to better support you in whatever your needs are.
Please feel free to ask me questions and submitting your ideas on how I can better serve you in the future to come.
