    Picked up the latest issue of the local free weekly newspaper while waiting for my cheeseburger tonight. The boys have 2 of the coolest ads for their shop I've ever seen. I'm not too sure about the typical reader of that rag ( It's called Mercury, that's a big plus, but I have to think their average reader is a Prius kinda person ), and I don't know how to show the ads on the HAMB, being a total Luddite, but somebody needs to copy, scan, or whatever the hell you do, and post them here.
    Boys, you done good. Your ads are cool as hell, even if 99.99% of their readers will go "Huh?"

    Those should be printed large as posters for the garage wall.

    Thanks for posting them, garage2small. I only saw 2 of them, then got on the HAMB. Think I'll go get extra copies while the mag is still on the newsstand.

  11. Yep. The Bros. are the real deal! When I'm around them, I feel like I've wasted a lifetime.

  12. I just saw this thread. Thanks for posting the pictures Gary! We worked with an advertising company in Chattanooga and they were so happy with the ads they entered them in a contest. Our friend Jack Parker did the photography and his work is amazing. If we get the file I will have our buddy Kile that owns a print shop to make some hard copies for us. Thanks guys!

  15. I met the boys father, Jim, about 45 years ago, when he lived in Connecticut. He has done a good job raising his sons, and I am quite sure that he is proud of them. They are the real deal.
