Let's make America "Trailing Arm" again

Post by GoMachV »

Hi guys!

I am acquiring both Vintage Team A&L and Factory Works from Daryl. He is spending this week training me on the workings of the company and the machinery. I will still be making the pieces I currently have on file, but will be adding them to the current menu that Daryl offered. It won't be an immediate deal, so please be patient while I get this working. I still have a 50 hour a week job at the same time.

Eventually there will be several rereleases of vintage parts and sets. Just have to bear with me and be patient. I can't start taking orders until I figure out what I have, what i need, and how to make it! Plus this will be an actual business, all legal and legit and stuff, so I need to break some bad habits and get my pricing structure figured out as well as my inventory some part numbers. This needs to happen before anything gets sold. I cannot take preorders or reserve parts.

I can't thank Daryl enough for all the work he is putting into transferring the companies and doing what he can to make sure it will be successful for me.

Sweet didnt know it was afull legal take over of them. IE the name and such. Even more bad ass man. Must be a killer and weird feeling to take over a famous name in the industry. Good luck.

Congrats Jeff!!!

Does the agreement also include the rights to any patents (if any) for the Lethal Weapon, Power Clutch, etc? Or, is it a transfer of business naming rights and available inventory?

In any case we're all rooting for you, as those are both iconic names in our hobby!

Best of luck with the new adventure!

That is really friggin awesome! :D

I assume the parts will be made in a way to tell the difference from the originals?

Will you be making other parts not originally offered by Team A&L and Factory Works using the names?


I still would eventually like to get a Raider and Boomerang chassis kit from you.
