Builders.
The week of Sun n Fun 2018 is now over, by most accounts it was a good year. I was down there on Friday to meet builders, give a forum and attend the traditional SPA/Panther cookout hosted by Dan and Rachel and the crew from their factory. I spoke with many builders and discussed Corvair details using Paul Salters Corvair/Panther as a model, which he stationed in the engine run up area.
.
One of the builders I met at the forum said to me “I’ve been here all week,I’m glad you are here, I want one of your manuals” I politely asked if he had been to the SPA/Panther booth, and he said yes, and I asked if he read my website or this blog, and he said “All the time, every story”
.
I pointed out that we are now in the third year of SPA being the sales point for 100% of my product line. I have written a lot of stories about this, it is on my products page, heck, its even printed on my business cards. I reminded him that anytime you see the SPA/Panther team, you are looking at my products being represented, and they always have manuals on hand for sale.

Above, Dan Weseman and myself in the SPA/Panther booth, right on the main avenue at Sun n Fun. Although I have had short hair and a beard before, many people who have known me for years took a moment to recognize me, even with a name tag on. Evidently my traditional appearance as a long haired unapologetic nationalist grease monkey from rural Florida makes a more lasting impression than my current guise. Don’t worry, I’m still the Neanderthal who wrote Lifestyles of Troglodytes, and The Politics of Pouring Gasoline and Unicorns vs Ponies.
