In response to a few private messages from the forum, and e-mails to my personal e-mail addresses: Yes, my website is down. It will be down for about another six weeks. Rather than trying to see if an idea would fly (it didn't), I decided to start a real business. The new business name is Desert Speed Custom Composites. We will be making parts for cars, trucks and motorcycles. I also have three different versions of the Sonex airplane in the works for radio control. I don't intend to sell retail, even over the internet. I also have the materials support of a major adhesives manufacturer. (Anybobody want to do some retailing?)
The reason for the six week delay is that is about how long it will take me to get the first production prototype gas tank on my bike. A lot things are different about my products than what is expected from composites. I'm not giving out any secrets just yet. BUUUUUUT....all of my gas, oil and coolant tanks will be seamless construction of the inner tank shell. When I say "composite construction" I mean the true aviation industry definition. I won't be selling the brittle "looks pretty" garbage currently availabe on the hot rod market.
To those of you that have your own business, thanks for the posts! Maybe attempt #5 will be the lucky number for me to be business owner.
 
I figure I'll be holding down this chair for two more years, at the most. Things happend recently that indicate I may need to accelerate by business plan. Retail estimates from potential customers are double what I was expecting.
 
LOL!

Good luck! Corporate BS has been driving me nuts lately, so i decided to strike out on my own a bit. Just started my own buisness last month. I say i am CEO and Cheif Janitor Of Rosewood Engineering. Small time weekend thing so far, just got my first sale. Loosing money, but very satisfying to finally be doing something about a dream i have had for some time.

Again very best of luck to you.
