Hats off to you Russell!
The knock on effect of your ( & associated dudes) work, enthusiasm and tenacity cannot be overstated.... The California Look and Gasser scene is at a real high point right now and for what it's worth I think your posting/news seems like a very positive move.
These cars are supposed to be FUN! ...I can understand how sometimes you must feel under a lot of pressure to satisfy everyone's cravings which kinda defeats the object...
These historic cars are looking better than ever, they're still here and racing and there's no reason for that to stop..... ... A new, more relaxed regime sounds like a great plan to me........ And if some other fortunate people get to be the custodians of some of these fantastic little vehicles then that's a pretty damn cool legacy too.
And on that note I'll just announce that I'm super excited to be getting my hands on the Kid-Dean squareback in the near future..... I can't wait to get it looking it's best once again!
Thank you Russell!

When it comes to the number of cars (and bicycles  ) I should own, I always adhere to the "N+1" formula, where "N" is the current amount of cars that I currently own. |

Best wishes to you Russell on whatever new direction you decide to go and thanks for the wealth of nostalgia you have assembled through the years. I want to thank you for the cool times at EBI and for letting me wrench and drive whenever possible, and speak for the many others as well that were able to bond to your rides. Not many people get to experience the business side that you have in life and I for one can appreciate your dedication to all facets that you have been able to engage in and still have the limited time to enjoy your fruits of labor. Looking forward to seeing you sometime soon in the not so distant future. Your friend, Dyno Don

I think everyone has said everything I ever could. Thank you. Sincerely. For igniting my imagination to dip my toe into the cal-look world and see the world through rose tinted nostalgic glasses as I try to imagine a world that once was. Genuinley inspirational to recreate history for all of our enjoyment. It was a pleasure meeting you at CLDD at Shakey last year, truly humbled.
All the best.
