These are some photos of the brand new, state of the art, part manufacturing that we’re doing. The process is called “pre-preg” and it involves using pre-impregnated fiberglass mat with resin and catalyst. We know eep it at zero temperature until needed. Then we lay it in our molds, vacuum press it and then cook it in our oven. This gives you a stronger and lighter product that is not harmful to the employee or the environment. Look for us to launch my new company in the coming weeks. It is called Vette industries.

Merry Christmas Face Book friends. I just wanted to share the most special Christmas gift I have ever received. After being sick for 6 months, I was diagnosed with colon cancer 2 months ago. During the last 2 months I have struggled through surgery and the unknown future. Well, God must have plans for me, because I have been released from all doctors care, with a clean bill of health. No sign of cancer in my body, and no future treatments. Now it is up to me to slow down and let my body heal.

Great things are in the works for my businesses. I have formed a new company, Vette Industries LLC, to manufacture the parts I use in assembling my GM licensed replacement bodies. I have brought Brady Basner on board to manage this new venture. Vette Industries will be using cutting edge technologies in our manufacturing processes, for improved quality and reduced hazards to the employees, reduced greenhouse emissions and environmental wast.

Merry Christmas, May Gods blessings be bestowed on each of you.
