Noticed another spelling error. You have so many threads going I can't remember where I corrected it.

Well, it's a start. You don't get the palpable sense of outragous power that is so pervasive in the Permagrin video's and in the shop itself. I understand the need to keep the entrance small, but wouldn't it be great to open the EG site and have a few seconds of Grond blasting through the traps at 148 mph! A few tuner sites have a shop C5 or C6 that serves as moving exposition of the tuner's work. I don't think anyone is using their car really effectively and from a marketing perspective it's really a huge sales tool. Look how everyone fawns over Grond when they're at EG. (Even when it's completely disheveled.)

You have also over-looked yourself as a powerful marketing tool. The pics and video's that show your genuinely beaming face as you're elbows deep in some stroker engine bay make an instantly positive impression on just about any vette enthusiast. Just about everyone I know or have spoken to loves the positive vibe in the shop and you just don't get that from the site.

The Olde English spelling might be more interesting if you were an Aston Martin tuner, but it may be a little silly for a vette shop.

Could you have picked a gheyer font for "Necessary Evil?" I'm sure that when you're finally done with it, the site will be immensely popular; lets just hope that it's evolution doesn't move at the glacial pace of the Grond project

It's just a Strawman right now - a mere skeleton, a framework, nothing more. I know where I want to take it but have very little free time to do it. It will get filled out and jazzed up as time permits.
