    Bad news for the ranch!

    Bad news yesterday in the mail

    someone at the DNR has decided that I run a salvage operation

    I have been requested to file for a storm water runoff permit

    I won't even get started with all the permits and government
    regulations. It would bury me financially even if I could comply with
    all the bs

    I will be getting rid of all my cars as soon as possible

    I will try to dismantle everything possible before I eliminate any of
    the bodies though.

    This has now become my main priority so I will not be in my shop very
    much, nor my office. I will be returning phone calls and emails as
    usual but it may be very hard to get me live on the phone due to me
    being out in the field.

    I will be unearthing a lot of parts that have been previously unable
    to be gotten off so keep letting me know what your needs are.

    last evening I removed 25 doors

    this morning I had 8 more off before 7 am

    removed 4 trunk lids and 2 hoods also this morning

    the ground is totally a sponge right now so cannot get any cars moved
    but will be dismantling as fast as I can

    Gotta beat whatever big brother has in mind for me

    just giving you a heads up on the fact that our hobby is at risk every
    day

    no more tours of the Thunderbird Ranch museum of old birds...... soon
    to be an orchard I guess.

    hopefully there will not be a problem with me having pallets and
    pallets of parts lined up in the field.

      typical isn't it?

      I bet some a-hole neighbor called and complained.
      John is really one of the good guys in this hobby. All he ever does is help people.
      Here I thought the government was out of money but they seem to be able to pay a lot of people to harass the citizenry...

      This isn't your Dad's or grandad's America anymore..of the people, by the people, and for the people...does anyone really believe that anymore?

        All I can say is if you need parts give this guy a ring first and try and help him out.
        If you wanted to start a petition we could start a thread,copy it and send it to him.
