Default Delivery of Tommasini Wheeling machine ends up with a shop tour

Robert Robinson from Covington, Georgia was the last buyer of one of Peters wheeling machines to take delivery of his order. We had heard of Roberts talents, so Jimmy Matthews and I loaded up Roberts wheeling machine and drove it to Roberts Auto Extreme custom shop , in the new location in Covington to get a look for ourselves. Glad we did. Robert has an amazing array of talent in his shop. In addition to amazing metal work for custom cars, Robert had an array of custom motorcycles in his shop looking to take advantage of his talents in that area as well. Roberts shop is equipped to do custom metal work, machine work, audio and visual custom installations, upholstery and an amazing array of painting skills, all of comparable quality to any of the current reality shows seen on television. It was a great day for me as well. Jimmy Matthews did all the driving, Robert took us all to the Outback steakhouse for lunch after the shop tour, and all I did was buy the ice cream!

Google says 3 hrs 40 min.
