    Henry,

    Did you ever play that arcade game "Wacka mole"? When the mole popped up, you hit him with a big wooden mallet. He popped up from another hole.

    They may be gone now, but they will "pop" up soon at another location......at least their molds will.

    If by "everything," you mean their main website, you are indeed correct. Try clicking on the "Contact us" button or the "Home Page" button.

    Beyond that, the website stll says they're in NC, which is NOT the case, and their phone is disconnected, and their e-mail (if you happen to have it) is no longer answered.

    Websites can stay up a LONG time after the business is gone. I'm guessing that ordering through that website would NOT be a good idea.

    Shine,

    Roger that. Dwight was one of the first in the business, and a top notch builder. Kyle seems to be a nice guy, but the shop output leaves something to be desired. My Gibbon '34 will be nice - but mostly because of MY EXTRA WORK.

    I was browsing their site and the other links were working. However, I didn't click on the ones you didn't have any luck with... Hmm, time will tell what's going on. IMO, with as many body kits as they offer, I can't see them going out of business that fast, but you never know.

    So far this year, almost 900 jobs were cut in the Eastern Carolinas. A majority of those cuts were in the Pee Dee.
    Florence County lost the most with 463 layoffs. That includes the layoffs at Young's Pecans. 200 folks lost their jobs when Merita closed last week.
    Spherion handed 33 temp workers their pink slip last month.
    Winn Dixie also closed its offices putting about 78 people out of work in Florence. 30 out of work in Myrtle Beach and 35 in Hartsville.
    Hilex Poly and Gibbon Fiberglass Reproduction also announced job cuts this year.

    Since your web host got your money for at least a year in advance, you can be long gone and turned to dust while the web page still lives......but the telephone doesnt lie!

    Yep, nice people who let the business degrade, started making crappy products and paid the ultimate price . . . out of business.
