ORS Shutting it's door's?

[freefallmarine]

I just got a email saying they were closing. That Suck's, Guess i better get my 3.4 swap stuff soon. Anyone know what happened?

I don't think many respect how hard and costly it is to keep a shop, not a internet blow out garage pile, but a full on shop, open and productive.

There is very little cash in the custom or high end pure Toyota market, especially in one off settings.

ORS has done some great work, given me many personal memories, brought me to Colorado, in part, and started me on my employment trail of great places.

Notice the e-mail mentions closing shop doors and keep an eye out for product and other sources.

I wish Mike and the crew good luck in whatever the next endeavor is.

That's a bummer.

Running a shop is extremely expensive, I feel for them. I hope they can get things back together some day.

BentUp and ORS are probably not going to be the only Toyota specialty fab-shops to get burned by the economic downturn. Unfortunate indeed.
