Hello, I moved from Annapolis MD about 5 years ago and am now located in Boone NC, with my shop in Mt. City TN. If you’d like to contact me about what I do please visit my website @ MRCUCV.com or message me here.

Very nice work. Makes me want to restore my M1008.

Nice truck!


Probably time to look into a vendors membership.

I live in Blowing Rock NC, but my shop is in Mt City, TN.

Eh, why did you inflict a 45 minute commute on yourself?

Some of us do it to get out of the big city....

Ha! Well lots of reasons really, its actually worked out great to have my shop away from my house, as i don’t go over but maybe 4 times a week, but get much more work done alone in a more uninterrupted time. The shop is on a small farm we own and i am able to separate work and play. Thanks

And, if its a true business, you can claim the mileage on taxes!

Hello all, well after about 18 months of relocation from Maryland down to North Carolina I have my shop up and running and am restoring CUCV's full time. You can find me on the web just search "mrcucv.com". I have built 3 trucks this summer and have 2 more in process. Thought you all might like to see the last one I did, the rest are on my website.

Regards, David

What's your new site name

 

[MarcusOReallyus]

The https://mrcucv.com/ site is still there. Not much there, but it does exist. Nothing but a phone number for contact, so I guess he's so buried in work he doesn't need to make it easy for potential customers to contact him, and his website doesn't even say what he does, so I guess he relies on unpaid advertising on forums like this to bring in new customers. Actually, his website doesn't even hint that he's a business of any kind. Looks just like somebody's photo gallery. Must be nice to have so much business you don't even need a functional business website.

He hasn't posted here in about a year and a half, though.

thanks

Like many of you I have enjoyed buying/restoring/selling/trading CUCV’s over these last 13 years as a hobby. However, I now have a special needs grandchild and 80 year old dependent parents relying on me.
My webpage has now been deleted. But I hope to keep a few trucks going every now and again.
Thanks, David

That is a rude nasty and classless comment. Totally out of line.

Just FYI, the main reason I created the webpage was to take my stuff offline of SS so as not to abuse or take advantage of Steel Soldiers. That is why I haven’t been posting on the site. I respect and want to uphold the integrity of our hobby.

There nothing either rude OR nasty about it. It's just a factual report on what I found there.

If you have a business, there are some minimum requirements for a website. One of those is to tell people what you are selling.


If you want to talk about rude and classless, maybe we could talk about skirting the requirements to be a paid sponsor to do advertising on this site, or maybe we could talk about advertising a business and then just leaving people hanging, not knowing if you are still in business or not.
