The Vette Essentials quality continues!
The last time I got to talk to Ken was when I was placing an order for yellow wrapped hoops. As with any conversation with Ken we spent 3 minutes talking about the hoops and a half hour talking about anything and everything.
After reading about Kens passing and the sub sequential raising of funds, not only for Ken's brick but also for McKenzie King Trust Fund I totally forgot about my order I placed.
Well after 5 weeks passed I decided to call and offer up my condolences personally. I talked to Matt and we got on the conversation of my last call to Ken. I told Matt that I ordered a set of yellow wrapped hoops. He mentioned that there was a box load of raw hoops in a box but no order for me. Matt then said, give me your information so I can get these taken care of for you.
Well less than three weeks later...Here they are!
It is great to see that Sandy and Matt have the love to continue to put the best leather products out for the rest of us to enjoy!

Ken was the best
and from what I hear Matt is a chip off the old block - I know Ken would be proud of him.

Those look great. Vette Essentials is still the best place to get a custom interior done IMO.

The legacy lives on....
I once had a contractor building a house for me, and I complimented him on the work his builders were doing. His comment: "I keep reminding them they're building their monument."
