Hello Everyone, Well since Laura didn't win the lottery over the last 3 months & I was born good looking instead of rich....I guess I am going to have to pull myself away from the wood burner & get back to Transporting! My 1st trip back out will be the 1st or 2nd week of March. I will have an Enclos...

EXACTLY!

Bill, IT sounds to me like you and your bride are moving into the new year with bright warm sunny skies on the horizon. I'm remined of the words of my departed mother used to tell me. God only gives you what you can handle. It seems to me you two are now around the corner and it will be easy sleddi...

Hello Everyone, Even though I am officially off the road until around the 1st of March, I am doing a national show in Atlanta with a display vehicle next week. The vehicle goes back to North West Arkansas on Jan 30th. I will then have an Enclosed Transport Spot available from that area (think Tulsa,...

Hi Jack, That is awesome! Always nice to hear one of the younger generation is interested. There are times when I wish i would have had kids so I could pass down stuff too as my Dad did to me (he was a mechanic at a GMC dealership all the years I was growing up), but it was not in the cards. God Ble...

Very well done build & simply gorgeous!!!

Happy New Year to ALL my Friends/Customers & Fellow Car Guys & Gals. 2026 will be a GREAT year! I would like to thank ALL my great customers who made 2025 another amazing year of transporting!

Hello Everyone, My friends & many of my customers here on the forum know of our battle with my Wife's stage 4 breast cancer that had metastasized to her back, subsequent spine surgery, months of wheelchair time, then walker, cane & rehab. After a year & a half she is back to driving & walking very w...

Did you use the correct amount for the application? Did your tires have any moisture or tire sealant in them? I thought the same thing Pat, If the proper amount is used & the inside of the tire is dry, they balance at 20-22 MPH. Hope to get to see you again this coming year. :) God Bless & Merry Ch...

Definitely a YES on "CounterAct Balancing Beads" & No other balancing required. I have them in every collector car, transport trucks & both trailers. They extend the life of the tires noticeably by keeping the tire balanced throughout its life. Weigh balancing is only perfect until the tire starts w...

Merry Christmas to my Friends/Customers & Fellow Car Guys/Gals on The Forum! I have been off the road for a month now, got some stuff done around here, but in my mind not enough.

Hello Everyone, As of 7:30PM last night....I am DONE transporting for this year! It was another great year of seeing friends again & meeting new ones through the transport of their babies.

Hey Mark, That thing is coming along nicely from when I was there a few months ago!

Hello Everyone, Please folks....under NO circumstance should you give a transporter a deposit! You are setting yourself up to get screwed like so many others have in the past!

Bill, at highway speeds in modern and classic cars, I can see the benefits of good wheel balance.
