I know that's not likely his objective, but it would be a much easier avenue to grow the company. He clearly has a market if he's swamped.
WW is retired and can't keep up with the business he has. I've spoken with him more than once and my assessment is he doesn't want or need a website and he doesn't want to grow, just serve fellow owners with his lifetime skills. He is having fun, and keeping busy serving an enthusiastic niche of special vehicle owners like him. Not everyone wants the kind of burden you describe.

OK, I apologize:(, lazy was the wrong term in this case, I still find trying to navigate a FB business to see what the heck they actually offer a PITA

It's easier than you think Mogman... he posts his cell phone # in the threads. He prefers you call and chat. Good old fashioned human interaction! Call him, he's a good guy.
There is a sticky thread he wakes up periodically, but it's simple, for HMMWVs he does tops, door skins and rear curtains in milspec vinyl or civilian convertible top sailcloth (including Haartz stayfast if you have money to burn). (He also does Growler door skins and tops, and is thinking about doing HMMWV cargo covers.)

Here's the "what I got" thread for you: https://www.facebook.com/groups/967096063720957/permalink/1646469789116911/

PM and send deposit to get on his build list, there is a wait!

We remember the mid 90s when websites were still coming online, and many were unsure it was going to catch on. I remember even into the early 2000s there were several firearms parts/accessories dealers (among others) that refused to embrace it at all. If they even had a website it was used only as a place to put their phone number and address so you could print out their order form and (gasp) mail the form to them with a (another gasp) check.

Remember the JC Whitney catalogs? A fella could kill a lot of time thumbing through one of those.
Remember Shotgun News? Huge publication of firearms articles and (its real purpose) listings of firearms and parts/accessories.

Yes Sir! I remember the JC Whitney catalogs.
Yep, there was magic in that and the Shotgun News!

We call that " Oil and Adjust" or "Tune and Tweek" the customer.

Real time interaction, CAMO
