The past two months, we've been putting our extra time and energy toward Andy's new business, with plans to really get its name out there this year.
Besides staying on top of the online side of things - updating the company website, and keeping up with customer requests through Ebay - we also needed to come up with a booth display for face-to-face sales. Andy put a lot of time into designing and creating the pieces to an eye-catching, professional sales booth:
[Display Motor shows the parts he can make in bright orange]
[Exhaust flanges for 27 different motors represented above, with inventory stored neatly away in cubbies that also serve as the customer transaction counter. Clever!]
We just returned from our test-run with the set-up! Andy and I, and our friend Nickie B vended at the Puyallup "Early Bird" Swap Meet last weekend. We met some wonderful people in the car-building community, made a few sales, and really enjoyed this chance to shake hands with our customers and test our readiness to run this operation in person.
Next stop: Portland Swap Meet. The biggest deal of its kind in the Northwest!

Looks great Andy- a lot of hard work going on at home I see. I'm glad your first swap went so well!!
Great to see the photos! And a new post! Can't wait to see it in PDX, though! Good job, you two! (And Nick, too!)
