Hi guys!
Been busy but am starting to actually have fun! I met a guy today that looked rougher than a cob, but we spent a couple hours just talking. He worked on some projects for Lee Iaccoca when he was at Ford Motor Company and told me how the all digital dash came into being.
He has a 1966 Mustang Ragtop under a tarp in his shop.
Neat fellow, Really rough but he was a big help. Turns out I know several of the people he actually worked with and he offered to help get me into a pretty large account because the president of that place calls him for his advice in powder coating and what powders to use. That's a hoot!
When I showed him a picture of what the primer he uses looks like side by side against mine after 5,000 hours in a salt spray chamber, he immediately wanted to start buying my product, which goes twice as far as his which saves him about 35% on his applied costs and he gets a superior product AND it won't abrade all his internal spray gun parts like what he is currently using will do. He could not believe the lab photo.
So tomorrow at 9:00 a.m I finally get to meet the buyer face to face at a company that bought from me when I had my own company. This will be interesting, but if they have an open mind, the product I represent always tests better than what they use, goes farther per pound and we are very price competitive. This should be a good opportunity so we will see what ten years of good service and fair pricing will be worth. Hopefully a shot at least at one of the colors.
Several HUGE projects with the D.O.D. looming ahead and a bunch of folks I have yet to call on the phone to see if I can get an appointment.
Best news is that I am heading to Virginia Beach at end of month to go see my three year old grandson! Can;t wait for that and hope we have clear weather through West Virginia and the mountains n order to make that trip. It is now a ten hour drive so it will be a little hard on my wife. Maybe we will go to Lexington Virginia and stay overnight. Finish up the next morning.
Anyway, hope everyone here is doing well! The scores look great! I wonder if BAP got his machines going again or if we ever cleared up his problem?
I still watch over you guys and I still have TWO GTX 460 cards in my drawer. I would like sometime to add a 760 card. Will see as time gets along.
Take care everyone and take care of yourselves.
Mark, if you are reading, hope all is well with you and your family too!
My best,
