Factory Five Crew Doing End of Year Inventory

Posted on December 30, 2013 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Not the most exciting project but absolutely critical to our business is year-end parts inventory. The crew is working on this big project for the next couple of days so if the phones are a bit slow, please bear with us. Phones will be on, but we have a skeleton crew in the office for kit and parts sales. If you have a tech question, we will be taking messages and will have one of our tech support staff help answer you questions as soon as inventory is complete. We’ll be at full strength tomorrow.

Shipping is closed today, Monday December 30, and tomorrow, Tuesday December 31st, but will be back on Thursday and Friday.

Dave Smith
President

Some Roadster kits are awaiting their new homes.

Jason and the office crew are out in the warehouse helping with inventory.
