.............from the website:

dear friends,

thank you for your loyal support over the years. we just could not hold on long enough to get thru this rough stretch of road. We are out of business effective 11/04/2009. someone will purchase some of the molds and continue to produce a few of the many products that we use to make. Who that is and when they will be available is unknown even to us at this time.

Even when you know your in the same boat as many others (without a paddle, a rudder, a sail or a bucket) it still is not any easier.
Phoenix will rise from the ashes (someday); I think the product is just too good to not be picked up by someone.

Definitely a niche market and you would have to run the business right, but I would not have thought they would fold. Show truck market is trendy though. After a panel design is out for five years, it's not going to be what you want if you desire to be different and get an edge on the competition. I wanted door panels that weren't exactly like anybody elses, and I don't even have a show truck.
