Restarting parts company
Hello, I will be restarting "Full Line Reproductions" next week. Dick Bell has been kind enough to sell me the company and will be helping me learn the ropes and give me advice. I welcome any and all input on how to serve the Hudson community. Initialy I will be selling on Ebay but as soon as sales increase I and my family will have a full website set up and also plan to attend all the Hudson gatherings we can get too. Dick says you are a fun group of people to be around and I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can! Happy New Year all! It looks to be a better year than 2011 for us all!

On behalf of my fellow Hudson folks thank you for taking over Dick's enterprise. If you haven't joined the HET club, by all means do so - it's worth way more than the dues you pay. I've been around the club for over 40 years and these are by far the greatest people I've known over the years.
I hope it's possible for you to make our National meet in Gettysburg, PA, so we can all get a chance to meet you and say hello.
Welcome aboard and here's wishes for success in your venture.

Thanks so much for the Re-start, we used to get lots of new parts from Dick. Hudsonly Rudy0

Thank you, I plan on attending. I didn't get a chance to ask Dick what the dates are yet. I will be there with as many parts as I can carry!0

Best of luck. I bought some items from Dick many years ago and some of these items have not been available since. Looking forward to seeing your new line.0

where are you going based out of?{wasn't Dick from Colorado? & closed doors in 2000?}i would like to know what you are panning to have-since i need just about every bloody rubber part for my 49.:woohoo:0

I'm in Colorado Springs, I'll be selling everything Dick sold before. Do you have one of his old catalogs? I'll get with him Monday and see what all we can do. If you have a list please email it to me at michael@michaeljamestheisen.com and we could see about getting an order together next week if you are ready for it. Please excuse the informality of the start up. We just decided to do this Friday. I have a lot to learn but I do understand whats involved and Dick is eager to help me make this a success.0

A very large welcome.What is your name? I still have a Full Line catalog from 98-2000. Bought alot of stuff from Dick and Rita. Check out the WTN and the Western Regional May 2-6 in Oxnard Ca. Best of luck, Ron Sotardi GCC Tucson.0

Do you have a phone number. I still have a catalog, also would you be taking credit cards? I used to buy from time to time, Dick had a lot of odd items that you couldn't get anywhere else. Great to have FULL LINE back. Best of luck

Very glad to see someone restarting the Full Line Reproductions enterprise!
You should also look to put an advertisement into the souvenier program for the Gettysburg national. It is a great way to get your name and business out in front of those who need your products.
I am the person who is putting the program together for the meet. Send me a personal message and/or email and I will foward you details on how to go about doing an ad!
Best of luck with the endeavor!!

Welcome and thanks for restarting the company. Years ago I purchased parts from Dick. It will be nice to have another supplier of Hudson Parts. Actually I was just looking at one of the old catalogs and there are a couple of parts that were available back then that I need now if available. Like the rubber seal, steering columm to toe board and the cushions under the pedals.
Looking forward to doing business with you.

Welcome aboard. Very nice people here. And lot of knowledge in store. That's good news to start with in 2012. Thank you, Michel.0
-
Thank you! If you can email me at michael@michaeljamestheisen the parts numbers I can find out what we have in stock. We will be offering everything in the old catalog. Generaly the prices are going to be 15% higher due to the increase in costs of the materials since 2000. I just took over after a very short conversation on Friday morning so I am still learning and will be for a while.0

I will be adding a phone number as soon as I get the website up and running. We will be offering everything in the old catalog with a 15% price increase to cover the increase in cocts since 2000. You can email me at micheal@michaeljamestheisen.com with the parts numbers and quantitys and we can find out what is in stock this week and get those out if your ready to order. Thank you!

That's great, Mike! Best of luck and glad to be having Full Line back up and running. I don't have an old catalog, but would be very interested in becoming a customer. I understand Dick used to have a lot of rubber items, which is what I need.
As far as advice, best I can give is communication, communication, communication!!!
Also, join the club (if you haven't all ready), get your name and contact info listed in the WTN, and make as many regional, and national meets as possible.
Follow the above, and I'm sure you will be quite successful.
Good Luck, and looking forward to doing business with you!

pdf version of your catalog you can email us as soon as you can would be great. Good luck...0

I am going to start with a webpage that people can order directly from and use their credit cards or paypal. If I do it right you could also print the pages out and take them where ever they might be needed. In the mean time people can email me at michael@michaeljamestheisen.com and we will do our best to fill all the orders we can! All the early proceeds are being used to get the business off the ground so we do appreciate any orders we get!
Thank you!

Hello Micheal. Glad to see you kicking "FULL LINE" off again..
I was wondering if you are going to have the flat window glass, and if Dick Bell is going to cut it..He used to do a super job on glass,,0 -
GREAT! I'm glad to see someone taking over Dick's business. He has been missed He had a nice supply of parts no one else had. So, it good to have it back.
As a result of this thread, I just went out and bought one of your signs...kinda a welcome present. I figure if you are gonna get started, we should help out.
Thanks
Lewis Mendenhall0
