Got to work one morning (first one there- turned on the compressors, lights, coffee pot, etc.) and his key wouldn't open any of the doors. Went to a pay phone to call the owner and surprise! Owner had came in late the previous night with a locksmith and changed the locks. No one in the dealership had any idea he was planning to shut the doors and walk away.

We are actually advertising right now for a full time employee. We have no intentions of going anywhere anytime soon. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and saw us at INDY and for all of you guys on here that use our parts. If we get some extra help here at the shop we hope to spend more time on the forums giving tech advice and chatting. 8458926-HughesEnginesLogowith3small.jpg (135 downloads) Last edited by Hughes; 03/13/15 05:57 PM. www.hughesengines.com
