There is/was a man named Mike Ward (I believe was his last name) in the Houston area that had a shop called Mike's Pump & Speed. May have possibly been him?

I thought he was building barns and metal buildings. Don't know anything about props. Demonseed's dad use to race with him, I don't know that there was much to the begging! But you never know! think.gif

I was actually at Mike's place about a year and a half ago. spoke with him and Dana, and he told me he was all done with pumps. they were selling metal carports at one time, but not sure if they still are. Mike was one of the people who helped me get started along with Jack McClure of MPD. :smile27:

I used to deal with Dana from time to time. She was always great to deal with. Mr McClure is a west coast heavy hitter if I recall correctly. :smile17:

Well, keep us posted on things & we'll pass the word around about your shop. Next time we are in the area, maybe we can come out & get the guided tour. jump.gif

good luck on your shop, hopefully you'll stock lotsa parts and sell to THB members for a great deal. one to two day shipping for the price of ground would be nice. Any plans on a point of sale device to use credit cards?
