Thumbs up Bob from EPP - Now Bob from Brute Speed

Hi everyone, for those of you who do not know, I have left my position as manager of Exotic Performance Plus and have started my own business.

https://www.brutespeed.com/index.htm New website

Please check out my new website that I have built. I'll be tweaking it, and adding more parts everyday. I have hundreds of hours invested in it so far, it's a good thing I don't mind sitting still for hours on end...

Currently there is no "project car" section, that will change real soon. My brother Jon bought my old '77 Trans-Am several decades ago after it went through numerous owners, and the car is undergoing a complete restoration. I bought this T/A back in '78 and drag raced it for many years. I also proposed to my wife in this car, so it holds very specials memories to me. It will be brought back to life substantially lighter and with an LS engine.

If you need anything ProCharger or Moser related, either give me a call or shoot me a pm. Thanks! Bob

I was wondering if this was you. Glad to see you open doors again. I thought the original plan was to keep EPP but only be a parts house? I'm guessing that didnt work out, so you went this route?

Either way, nice to see such a great supporting vendor back in business on here again. I'll be needing some parts to finish piecing together my Procharger kit.

How are you & the wife doin now Bob?

How are you & the wife doin now Bob?
Thanks! It ended up that I couldn't keep the old website, so I figured it was best to start out with a whole new name too.
My wife has good days and bad days, and we're finding out thyroid related problems are not black and white. A dozen different doctors have given us so many different opinions on what is going on, that we're pretty sure a lot more will be known about the thyroid in years to come.
I'm not sure how a bulging disc in my neck along with vertebrae that have collapsed on a nerve can heal themselves, short of a miracle, but I have been totally pain free for about a month. I've started working out again and everything feels good. Thanks for asking about us!

Nope, I had run it for the owners since day one. The old website is still up, but that is it.

Hi Steve, yes I did, and I tried to e-mail you but it bounced back to me. I then copied my e-mail and sent it to you here on tech. Take a look in your notifications box, I'll bet it is in there. Thanks for the e-mail, I appreciate it. 9.69 is getting down there, what was your 60 ft time?

Thanks, I have hundreds of hours in it. It was very maddening at first, but I have a handle on it now and I learned a lot about websites.

lol, somehow that just doesn't sound right! Will do on the move.

A pain in the neck Bob is something you and I can relate to.

Good luck with the new business, Bob!

Just wanted to say that Bob and EPP treated me like their only customer and went WAY above and beyond even though I wasn't a high-budget project. I've never been happier as a customer with any business for anything ever. Thanks for everything, Bob!
